Received word that Elliot did pass away at 9:05 a.m.
From Sara’s sister:
Elliot weighes 4.65 pounds and is 18 3/4 inches long. I have attached a couple of pictures so that you can see our beautiful boy.
Elliot passed away at about 9:05. We are all heartbroken, but praise God for the time that we all had!
We are so grateful for your continued prayers and support.

Please remember the family at this time.
Hello everyone!
Here’s the latest from Sara’s family…
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers today while we are in the hospital.
Elliot was born at 8:05 this morning! He came out screaming and crying! He is beautiful – we have all been able to hold and kiss him and love on him while we can!
Sara is doing very well, the surgery went great and she is not in any physical pain right now.
I will send out pictures and further updates throughout the day. Please keep praying!
Vanessa and Carly (the aunts)
Please keep Sara & Elliot as well as dad, Brandon and sister Sydney in your prayers today and throughout the week.

Please be in constant prayer for my good friends B and Sara. They received disappointing news from their doctor a few weeks ago regarding their unborn baby. It’s not looking good but we’re believing in a miracle and praying for one as well as comfort and peace. Here’s the latest update from Sara:
Thank you so much for your prayers and concerns. We went to see a specialist today, and there was still no good news. We found out that in addition to his multicystic kidneys, he has some sort of cyst or other obstruction in his chest cavity. The Dr. said that they can’t fully determine what it is until after he is born though. The prognosis from every Dr. we’ve seen hasn’t been good, so it’s hard to hold onto hope at this point. Specifically, I’d ask that you pray for 1) that we don’t allow our hearts and minds to become detached from this baby, but instead to be able to enjoy this time that we do have with him – even if he never gets to live on this earth. 2) We are really praying that this situation is not something that our baby inherited from us genetically, but instead is just a fluke, one-in-a-million thing. We don’t want this to be something that we might have to worry about in future pregnancies. The Dr. today said that he thinks it is just a fluke thing, so that was reassuring, but he did say that we’ll know more once the baby is born. Other than that, we’re just praying for a miracle to happen, which we know is always possible. Again, thank you so much for your & Lauries prayers. It’s been a really difficult past few weeks, and we have a few more months of it lying ahead of us.
