Today has been slow. Praise the Lord. Not too much to report except that Payton is still doing well. She has been asleep most of the day (we, also, both got naps today:)). She was weaned off of both of her heart medications today, one this morning and the other this evening. They are also giving her more breast milk via the feeding tube and giving her less of her other IV nurishment. Hopefully she will continue to do that until she is eating only breast milk and none of the other nurishment. They took her temporary pace maker leads out today as well. She really only has the ventilator/feeding tube, a couple IVs, and some stiches and bandages right now. She's looking good. After surgeries the body retains lots of fluids that it moves from in and around the organs to the body tissue and then, eventually, out of the body. It can take a long time for the body to give up these fluids, but Payton's have gone down significantly in the last couple days. She is looking more and more like herself. It's great!
We're continuing to pray that she would be ready to come off the ventilator by Wednesday, and that there would be no trouble with that process. Also, we are still praying for her neck to heal well. Please join us!
Calvary Family: We hope that you had a great time worshiping the Lord as a body of believers this morning! We missed you. Thank you so much for your love and prayers. We love you all.

So thankful to see that Payton is steadily improving and that you are able to get some rest while she is sleeping.
We have an awesome God. How wonderful to know that He loves and cares for Payton even more than you, which seems impossible, but it is true. I pray for your family that God will walk through this with you every step of the way.
What some great news our prayers are being answered right before our own eyes PLT! We will continue to pray for Sweet Payton and for you both, thanks for the update I look forward to hearing from you. God is good!
Jones's,
We missed you guys so much at church yesterday, especially in Sunday School. We continue to pray for you and trust that the healing hand of our Saviour Jesus Christ will be over Payton and both of you as well.
Praise the Lord for the latest report. Sounds like our little girl is doing well. I'm looking forward to holding this miracle and I know Deb is as well..
We love you guys!!

It was so wonderful to be with both of you and your precious bundle for a short time this weekend. We love you all and are praising the Lord for his wonderful blessings of the weekend. Keep trusting in Him as I know you do.
With all our love,
Aunt Glee and Uncle Jerry
Heather & Aaron,
I am so thankful to hear that Payton is doing better, and that you've had some boring day! Here's hoping that your days continue to be boring, and that you can come home soon. As always, our prayers are with you.
Love,
Brian & Karen Johnston
