It's been a few weeks since my last blog. My mind has been other places. On April 30th,at 5:17pm, my wife gave birth to our second daughter Claire Lillian Hammitt. the labor and delivery went very well, and our baby was seemingly healthy. After a week at home, I departed for England to perform at a one day music festival called the Ultimate Event. That evening I called Sarah to say goodnight and was surprised by the news that she was in the hospital with our new baby Claire. Claire had developed a fever and wasn't eating well so they went to the ER. Turns out that she had an ear infection which is very rare for a newborn. So my wife and I have spent the past week in the hospital waiting for all the tests and treatments to be completed. The latest report is that she will be fine, but they have discovered that she has sleep apnea. So they will hopefully send us home tomorrow with a breathing monitor. Being in the NICU has really opened my eyes to how blessed we are. So many babies and parents deal with much more than we have been through. Please keep us and all these babies in your prayers.

Congratulations, and you all are in my prayers.
Matt,
Congratulations - what a blessing! Claire and the entire Hammitt family will be in my prayers . I know how difficult it can be to have a newborn in the NICU. Six years ago our daughter spent three and a half weeks
there. How awesome to have the prayers and support of fellow believers!
God Bless!
Matt & Sarah,
Claire is beautiful! We will remember you all in our prayers!
Lisa & Craig
