Family Day

Payton looks good today, which is great because all of her grandpas and grandmas are here again this weekend. She also met two more great grandparents today on Aaron's side. Then her other uncle came to visit her this weekend as well. So, now she has met 3 out of 4 great grandparents and all of her aunts and uncles!

Tomorrow will be another busy day. They plan to do an MRI tomorrow sometime to try to determine if there is any neurological reasons for her breath holding episodes. They will have to intubate her again for this procedure. So we would greatly appreciate your prayers for her to come off of the ventilator well one more time! Also, you could pray for the doctors who read the MRI to get enough evidence to determine something. The trouble with any of these tests is that they are rarely conclusive. We are praying that they would find conclusive evidence that nothing is wrong, and that these episodes are simply the result of a tired baby.

That's it. Just a little update today. Thank you so much for your prayers and for your encouraging comments. We love reading your comments and we covet your prayers. Have a great week!

Aaron and Heather,
We are sorry for the bumps in the road and know that it must be very frustrating to get so close to having all the medical issues resolved and then have another one pop up. We're glad that you are surrounded by family and do not have to go through this ordeal alone. We continue to pray for little Payton and hope that all goes well with the PICC tube. We pray for strength for both of you and know that you are great christian witnesses to the staff there. We pray that everything goes well and that you will be able to come home and show off your buddle of joy soon.
All our love and lots of prays,
The Boones

Aaron and Heather-

Thanks so much for sending out your prayer letter giving us the notice of precious Payton! Thanks for being open, honest, and allowing us to walk through this valley with you. Despite all the hardships...I see the joy in your eyes! Praise Him in the suffering too!

Lord, Heavenly Father I praise your name for you are Lord of all Lords and King of all Kings! God I cry out to you and ask that you would hold Aaron, Heather, and Payton ever so close. I have seen your healing hand and ask that you would heal Payton as only YOU can! God, you do things that Dr.'s say are impossible! No mountain is too big for you! Move mountains in Payton's life! We love you Lord!

Praying for you guys!

Love,
Matt and Keri Burton (Vetsch)

Heather & Aaron,

We heard a little bit yesterday about the PICC line from Dennis & Jan, and have been praying ever since. It's good to read a more complete update this morning, and know how to better intercede for you all. We pray for wisdom for Payton's team of doctors, and that God will work in a miraculous way, so that all will see His glory!

We love you!
Brian & Karen Johnston
