Yesterday Payton was 5 months old. Despite all of this, she's growing and getting longer. She is doing a bit better today. They still aren't sure she had an infection, but she was showing signs of being sick. Her numbers are looking better today. She's still sedated quite a bit; so she's not waking up or moving much, but we're grateful that she's doing a little better. Because she was so sedated, I went home with Aaron on Monday afternoon, and we returned back here to Rochester yesterday morning. With the nice weather, I figured it would be good for me to be out in it a little, and it's a beautiful drive home, especially with the leaves changing colors. Aaron wanted to lead his Bible studies on Monday evening, and it was a quick trip. But I went to the student leaders meeting on Mon. night, and it was SO GOOD to see some of the students that I haven't seen for 5 months. We have such a great group of student leaders, and I'm so proud of how hard they've been working this year.
And I know I say this over and over and over, but truly, we are so grateful for your prayers and love and encouragement. We'll continue to keep you posted. Much love, the Joneses

Joneses,
I'm so glad you had the opportunity to go home...even if for a short while. This morning on my way to work I was praying for you and then started to think (and sing) about the song Jehovah Jira...My Provider. I continue to pray for you - knowing God will give you what you need.
Luv You,
EIR
p.s. We went to the Bears/Vikings game last weekend...Go Bears!
it IS a beautiful drive! aren't the trees in Durand amazing? or do you take a different route?
Happy Belated 5 month Birthday to you Sweet Baby Payton! You have touched so many lives and brought so many closer to God thru your difficult life journey so far. We love you and pray for you unceasely, may you grow stronger and be healed from this infection, so you can be put back on the heart transplant recipient list. We pray for continued strength for you both, Aaron and Heather. We are so glad you got to spend a few hours at home and with friends for some normalcy and to regroup. We check every day to see how you are all doing. We continue to pray and carry you all in our hearts and lift you up to the Lord. Sending our love, David and Rita Nelson
Joneses,
We continue to pray for you all, that God will continue to provide for you and sustain you and give you strength. Happy to hear Payton is doing better, though - Yay!
May God bless you all today.
Brian & Karen Johnston
