Payton is doing pretty good today. It's been quiet which is always good. We spoke briefly with her surgeon earlier. He no longer plans on doing any trial turn down on ECMO or possibly taking her off of ECMO. They feel it'll be best just to keep her on as long as she's able and wait for a heart. She's been on life support for 6 1/2 weeks (on Mon. it'll be 7) which is a long time. They let her wake up a little this afternoon, and she opened her eyes part way and looked around. After being asleep for a few days straight I think it was hard for her to get them open :).
The 3 women on our staff team came to visit, and it was fun to spend some time with them. I continue to enjoy hearing how things are going on campus. Our students and staff are doing such a great job. We'll continue to keep you updated. Thanks for loving our little girl with us.

We'll its good to hear things are still quiet. It's always nice to get company to help the waiting go a little faster. You are still in out thoughts and prayers. Payton is such a little fighter. Thank you for taking time to keep us informed.

I didn't realize so much was going on with your little girl, and I have been trying to catch up. I will keep Payton in my prayers as well as both of you! I am amazed at how you continue to trust God with your daughter. I know it is never easy to understand the "why?", but it is so important to trust in His goodness. He WILL carry all three of you through this even if you don't know what that looks like yet. It sounds like she is already beating the odds - it is amazing what can happen when God is on your side!
Thanks for sharing your daughter, Payton, with us!
