Selah James Bennett, 6lbs. 14 oz., was born at 2:26pm this afternoon.  The procedure went very well.  Brittany was incredibly brave and strong throughout the entire surgery.  Selah's lungs are not functioning at full capacity, but she is still breathing on her own as of now.  The doctors came in this afternoon and did an ultrasound and that test revealed the absence of kidneys.  This prognosis, in and of itself, is a fatal prognosis. 

Mom and Dad are taking turns holding Selah and cherishing every second of this journey.  The ending outcome may not be what we want, but God continues to bless through so many not-so-tiny miracles.  The doctors never expected Selah to make it out of the OR, but here she is and it's just a testament of God's grace and the hundreds, if not thousands of prayers that have been lifted up on our behalf.

Thank you for your great support and continue to pray for our coming minutes and hours.  We will continue to give God the glory because that is what we're called to do and He is worthy of our praise.  We praise Him in the storm because He carries us through and will not forsake us.
