Dear friends and family,

Jack Taylor Jaykus was born 7:27pm in Liberty, Missouri. He Is 7.1 lbs and 19 inches long. He was c-section 3 weeks early. His little lungs are not fully developled. They had him in a oxygen tent overnight. He is still having problems breathing, so they are transfering him to Childrens Mercy Hospital this morning. Rachel, (mom) is physically ok, but pretty upset about his condition, and the fact that she can't see him, or go to the other hospital with him. Helen and I are going over to Children's Mercy to be with the baby. Please pray for little Jack and family.

Thank you, Love John & Helen
