Aaron and I met a great couple here who's baby boy is accross the hall from Payton. They adopted him from S.Korea with heart problems. He's a little sweetheart. Her father works for Family Life (ministry of Campus Crusade), and we have a lot in common. We've enjoyed talking to them and getting to know them the last couple days.
Yesterday, we went up to the Patient Library here at the hospital, and I ran accross the Little House on the Prairie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. So I decided to check out the first one and read to Payton. My mom read them to me, and I loved them as a girl. So, now she can hear my voice consistently, and I can hold her hand and read to her.
At this point no new news - which is sometimes good news. Thank you for praying. Much love, the Joneses

Reading to her is a great idea. I am sure it is reassuring for her to hear your voice.
Love you guys and still praying.

Aaron and Heather,
Just a note to let you know that you and Payton are continually on my mind and in my prayers. As you already know, God has a perfect plan and his timing is perfect. Hugs to all three of you. Love, Marilyn Sulzer
What a neat Mom - to read to her and touching her and being with her. I know Rhonda, Kristin and Kayla all loved the Little House books and TV show. It will be great for you to share that with Payton. Our prayers are with you every day!
Love,
Rick and Rhonda
Jill just told me you were back in the hospital. We had no idea! You 3 are in our prayers. May God hold you in His strong, mighty, gentle hand.
Love you!

That's a wonderful idea Heather, I always loved those books too : )
Our team here in Milwaukee will be praying for you all...for comfort, peace and strength from the Father. We love you and entrust you into His care...with love, Ellisa Lettner
Wanted to let you know that your family has been in our prayers and heavy on our hearts. You have another little child in Matthew who is praying for "Baby Payton."
Much love,
The Brockbergs
I think of you often and am praying for the three of you.

Heather,
Make Sure Jonesy is reading her Sports Illustrated as well. She's going to be a little athlete! Plus, I have a feeling that she's a Vikings and Twins fan already and she'll want to know the prognostication for the Vikes season and the possibility of the Twins making the playoffs this year. It's all about diversity when it comes to reading.
Love you guys, hope all is well and we are still praying for you daily.

As much as we enjoy the Little House Books and have them in our home library or Sports Illustrated, Selvigs, I think my main man Jonesy should be reading little Payton Popular Mechanics and Popular Electronics so that she can keep her hair out of the pan when she is changing oil in the family vehicle!
We are praying for you!
Love the Woods
It is so good that you have found new friends with good christian people across the hall! They will be able to support you and sympathise with you like not many other people can. We are still praying and praising God for the "good no news". Love you guys!
