Good Times: My First Chance to Hold Killian

Last night, Nancy and I went to Children’s Hospital to visit our precious little grandson, Killian Patrick, (grandchild number 7) and, for the first time, I was able to hold him. Here are some pictures of that happy experience.


P.S. Thanks be to God, Mr. Kilpatrick continues to do well, and he’s been packing on the ounces, day by day, and is now about 3-and-a-half pounds (he weighed just 2 lbs., 2 ozs. when he was born, three months premature). We really appreciate all the prayers that many of you have been praying for Killian. Thank you.

    I'm glad that you've gotten to hold him! He was even born three months premature. To think that to some people he wouldn't qualify Killian as a human being if we was simply translocated back into his mother's womb. I will be sure to keep him in my prayers too.
