Well, she still has her breathing tube out. We're grateful for that. We were even able to hold her a little this morning. She's had some arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythms) which started yesterday evening and has continued off and on. Her left lung has a good bit of fluid still in it, and the cardiologist thinks that may be the cause of the arrhythmia. So they are turning her frequently and suctioning out some of the fluid to try to get rid of it. Her blood pressure, blood gasses, and oxygenation is good, though, so that's a good sign.
She's looking more content, and it was quite enjoyable to hold her :). She just settled in and looked around. We'll continue to keep you posted...little baby steps forward :).

Hi,
Greetings from Eau Claire. Glad to get the report today and just wanted you to know how much people care and are praying for all three of you.
Payton is a beautiful little girl and is blessed to have the two of you for parents. Take care and we will see you soon.
Dennis and Jan.
(P.S. We move into our house on Saturday. Do you want to come and help? ha ha)
Great news! I thank God for the baby steps, and am glad the news is still good. At least, not any worse! Brian and I continue to pray for all you. May God continue to give you the grace and strength that you need. We love you!

I missed the holding by one day. What is up with that little girl? Glad to hear the tube's still out. Praying it'll stay that way!
Yay for the good report!! We are so glad you got to hold your precious Payton today. We are praying for continued progress...even if it is baby steps! We can't wait to see you all back in Eau Claire.
We love you,

I'm so glad for the good report. We keep you in our prayers and say a special prayer for strength for all three of you. Payton is beautiful. I know hospital life can be weary and days can sometimes just blur together, but everyday gives your baby the chance to heal and grow stronger. Keep up the good spirits and remember to take a little time to get out into the sunlight. It will help to give you strength and time to think.
All of our love,
Joe and Amber Boone
Praise God! That's great news! I trust God that Payton will continue to get better each day. She is covered in our prayers.
Love,

This is encouraging to read and I can't imagine how encouraging for U to experience. This entry compared to the first several--that's great. I check ur updates every day I'm at work & pray, and when WM's and Mettes gather for our Wed. a.m. devos we always pray for U 3. I've kept the ladies posted & we've really come to the throne on ur behalf. One of our ladies knows someone who works at UWEC & she also prays. Isn't that neat? Be encouraged.
Glad to hear that things are going good. We continue to pray that things just keep on getting better. Wish you all the best, and can't wait to see her in person.
Josh, Tammi & Olivia
So happy to hear the great news. I've passed it on to my girlfrend in GA and to her church and my daughter Scotty, and her church in Menomonie.
