Please pray for Payton

Hi all,

Just in case you're running out of things to pray for, I've got another request for you... Baby Payton is back in a rough spot again. Payton has been dropping her oxygen saturations quickly and without clear cause... Like from 97 to the teens in a matter of seconds... Her mom reports the doctors think she is either trying to go into cardiac failure or her veins are narrowing. Either way it's not good. Payton will be getting an MRI on Friday to get a better picture of what is going on...



Payton's mom is asking everyone to be praying hard that whatever problem they find is something they can fix. This is a very crucial test and the doctors are waiting on the result of this MRI to determine their course of treatment and Payton's future. Payton's been in rough spots before, and by God's grace and her own sheer stubbornness she's pulled through it. Please pray for a repeat performance!

And also, though her mom would never ask for it, please pray for Payton's family as they ride this roller coaster with her. NICU life is never easy, and this family has had it harder than most.

Thanks again everyone. We love you guys!

Thanks guys. They've been in the hospital over 8 months now. It's been a very long road for them!
