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!
