will

with perhaps the most eventful lead-up to birth, william zachary morrow entered the world on may 16 and became the newest member of the pilgreen family; boy #3 for his family and grandchild #9 for GJ.

most of you know of the times before will was born that caused erin to be in the hospital, and we all thank you for your prayers for she and will over those weeks.

everyone was very aware that will would need surgery when he was born, but the doctors could not be specific on when the surgery would be until after he was born and they got a better look at him. turned out, will was much more developed than the doctors anticipated and he was able to have surgery the day after he was born to fully heal his little body & get it working properly. from that point on, he has continued to improve with each and every day. just last night, erin & zach got to hold him for the first time. he is a fighter and totally beating the odds everyday. before we all know it, he will be home playing with his older brothers.

we love you baby will!
