Well, 110 ended up being the birthday card count - THANK YOU!!! I absolutely could not believe it. I'm humbled and blessed by your kind words and continued prayers for us and Payton. I've never gotten so much mail in my life :).
My friend in Eau Claire is a photographer and does amazing work. We were in to get our pictures taken the very end of July - which I am SO grateful we got that done before all of this happened. She has so kindly put together a slide show that you can see online. Here's the address: www.hollypetersphotography.com/payton. I am thrilled with the pictures because they capture so many of her little expressions. (and if you want to see Holly's website, just take off the "payton" at the end)
So far we're the same here. Payton is still pretty stable and holding her own which we're very grateful for. We'll continue to keep you updated, and again, thank you so much for your prayers and for blessing me on my birthday. We love you all, the Joneses

Those are the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen! What a gorgeous family...
The pictures are wonderful! We continue to pray that God will heal Payton's heart, and we hope that you will be able to hold her again soon. We miss you and think of you often throughout each day.
Love,

Your pictures are so amazing. I'm so glad you had them done! I absolutely love them too! :) I'm thinking of you often and praying for you too. Sorry, Heather, that I missed sending you your 111th birthday card... I was home for a family situation and sadly the day went by :_( I love you all!

Oh my goodness...those are the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen! It's obvious little Peyton has already blessed your lives in so many ways. We continue to pray that GOD will strengthen all of you and especially that He will provide Payton with a new heart and complete healing. Love, Debbie and Larry King
I can't hold back the tears after viewing your photographs. The Lord has certainly given you a beautiful, little girl! We, too, are praying that she will soon be in your arms again. We continue to be inspired and challenged by your faith and dependence upon the Lord. Much love to you all...

I already commented on the pictures on another blog. But had to add, the one of Aaron kissing her is just the most beautiful one I have ever seen. You are just one beautiful family. Have played those over about 10 times now.

My wife and I consider it a privilege and an honor to pray for your family. We have also emailed the prayer request to other parts of the world...

Heather and Aaron - Jill Hayes is a friend of ours here in Charlotte, NC and forwarded us (their small group at church) your blog site to pray for you guys. I have a 5 month old of my own, and I have cried several times thinking how tough it would be to see my Rebecca going through what Payton is going through. You guys have been an encouragement to ME with your faith. I have been reminded several times since Rebecca's birth that we are only entrusted with these precious gifts for care, but they are not "ours" (as you have said in several postings). Still I can hardly think of how incredibly hard this is for you. Those pictures of Payton were truly gorgeous; she is beautiful, as is your family. We will continue to keep you three in our prayers.
