No Results



Sorry it has been so long since the last update. We have been going to lots of doctor appointments and just buisy with it being holiday season.




Since the last update we have seen a a few doctors. First, Peyton was able to finally be circumsized. Let me be the first to tell you, if you don't have it done at the hospital when they are still too young to know what's going on it is horrible. He was perfectly fine when we got him back then about 2 minutes later there was a horrifying look and he screamed like to other scream. Since then when he wakes up he gets really scared if he does not see someone he recognizes. Things did go well though. Also the genetist did not find anything wrong with Peyton genetically, praise God. However, they did see some spots on his Renal Ultrasound indicating possible kidney stones, so they referred him to the renal specialist. Two weeks ago now, we saw the renal specialist and he confired they were NOT kidney stones, merley calcium spots that should go away over time. The doctors thought maybe Peyton's calcium extrection in his urine was a possible reason to his having rickets. The doctor does not have the full results back on Peyton yet but says there is not a renal issues contriubuting to his rickets. So he is sending us back to the Endocrinologist. Hopefully one day we will have the answer to why he has rickets and what can be done to correct it. They all just keep saying they think it might just be prematurity and if that's the case it should correct itself over time. Let's hope for that. In the next two weeks Peyton will see the Endocrin, the Genetisist and the Cardiologist since they thought they may have seen on the NICU a small hole in his heart but Peyton was too small to really be able to tell. He did get his second RSV/sentigen injection last week as well. We will keep you updated as we get results.




Peyton is now 5 months old as of yesterday and we thank GOD for his growth and giving him to us for 5 months! Thank you all for the continued prayers, we love ya'll.

Happy Halloween!


As you could guess this is Peyton's first Halloween. No he couldn't go trick or treating for the risk of catching something and getting sick. So we took Peyton to his grandparents houses and trick or treated. We thought we would share our cute little pumpkin with you.

Happy 4 Months!

October 26th Peyton turned 4 months old! Yes, I know it is very hard to believe, it seems just like yesterday he was in the hopsital. Praise God he has now been home for 2 months!

On his birthday he saw the Pediatric surgeon whom confirmed it is now time for Peyton to be circumsized. If the doctor waits much longer then they will have to use anestisia and he wants to just use a local since we don't know everything that is going on with Peyton right now. So he is set to have surgery this coming Wednesday, November 4th. Please pray that everything goes well and he has know complications as this is considered a surgery now since he is 4 months old. Some of you may be wondering why it has not been done yet, when he was in the NICU they checked Peyton and said he was too swollen to be able to safly do it. Apparently Peyton still is a little swollen so there is a small risk he will bleed and need stitches but obviously there is a greater risk to wait and then have to put him under anestitia. Again please pray for Peyton during this.


Also this past Monday we saw the Pediatrician for his 4 month check-up. He now weights 9lbs and 13oz. and is 21 and 1/2 inches long, he is definitly growing as you can see from the pictures. He was such a happy baby, cooing and playing until they gave him his shots. He cried and then went to sleep.
As if we weren't having enough fun with doctors and hsopitals Patrick, Peyton's dad broke his nose and had to have surgery this past Wednesday. Everything went well and his nose seems to be healing just fine. Please keep him too in your prayers as he is still in a lot of pain and constantly has a headache.
This past Thursday Peyton saw the genetistics. The doctor was very thorogh into Peyton's background going all the way back to his greatgrandparents. No we do not have any anwsers yet, however he did send Peyton for a renal ultrasound looking for possible kidney stones, as well as blood work, urninalysis, and about 20 more xrays looking into the rickets more. The doctor hoped he would have all the results back this next week and maybe some answers to what is going on.
Please continue to pray for Peyton and that hopefully there is nothing wrong and they are just being over cautious since what he has come through. Again thank you for your prayers and we will keep you updated as we hope to get results and as Peyton has he surgery. We love ya'll!
