Quiet Days
Well, I feel like there's a joke somewhere - Payton just filled her pants, but with all the tubes and dressings (and it usually leaks to the bedding below and that has to be changed) it takes a small team to change her diaper... How many nurses does it take to change a 10-11 lb. baby's diaper? At this moment 3-4, but I wish I had a better punch line. But she really does have wonderful nurses that are taking such good care of her. We continue to be so grateful for them. The last couple days have been pretty quiet. She's been sleeping well without the aid of a lot of drugs which is always good. She looks so sweet and peaceful. At this point, unless something happens, it'll be a quiet weekend until Monday. They're going to do the echo (ultrasound) and turn down on the ECMO to see how her heart is doing on Monday at noon. Then her transplant surgeon and former surgeon will talk on Tues. So we'll know more and potentially have more decisions to make then. We just keep praying for the Lord to continue to sustain and heal her. Thanks for posting - so fun to see the names of old friends now living all over. And continued thanks for praying with us. I know people are checking this blog that we've never met, and it's so humbling and such a blessing to have people taking time to pray for you and to see the body of Christ come alongside you in such amazing ways. Much love, the Joneses

Was Clint on duty? It seemed like she had a knack for filling her diaper when he was around. :-)
Glad to hear things are quiet. We'll be praying for discernment for both you guys and her doctors next week.
Love you all,
Sara
Glad to hear there is laughter there too. Baby's are so funny because they always do the unexpected when we least expect it. Keep enjoying those laughable moments.
Still in our thoughts and prayers! We pray for the days ahead. Both for health, no infection and decisions that need to be made!
We love you,
Jess
Hi Aaron and Heather,

Aaron, Heather and Payton,
David, Melanie and Gracie Joas here. It has been such a long time since we have connected. We wanted to let you know that we are praying for you and are confident in the Lord's plan for all three of you. Please let us know what we can do to help? Can we road trip down and bring you a Joas cooked meal? We know you are very busy with everything going on. Just know that you have many people up in the cities praying for you.
Love David, Melanie and Gracie Joas

Hey, guys...
I had to laugh because James JUST filled his pants. :) You've gotta love those nice diap-ees, as we call them around here. We continue to pray you experience grace, wisdom, and joy too during this time. Big hugs from our family to yours.
Much love,
the Newendorps

Hey, guys! Had to smile at this entry! Glad you are finding humor in day-to-day situations. We are in Ohio right now, but want you to know we are praying for you even when we're not at home. Hope to hear good news next week!
