Good News!!!!!

Well, Peyton was 7 months old on January 26. Hard to believe it has already been that long and they he has already made it so farr. He seems to be doing very well these days, is happy and smilling a lot.

The news everyone has been waiting for, Peyton's rickets has now resolve itself in the xrays, so his bones seem to be in good shape now. Also, the excessive calcium in his urine has also seem to resolve itself, therefore there is not as much concern about his kidneys getting hurt. Lastley, even more good news we just found out, the Dent's disease DNA test we were waiting on was also negative, yah! It seems as though the NICU doctors and everything you hear about premies is correct, they just have to grow out of it. We all know though that this was definitly a miracle from God, just as his Peyton's life is. He still seems to be having acid reflux issues, and throwing up often. The G.I. doctor also said since Peyton was a preemie that this would take longer than normally born babies to grow out of, about 15 months of age he thinks. We can definitly deal with this as long as the medicine seems to work and not make him hurt during these episodes.
Peyton has come a long way. Two weeks ago when he was weighted last, he weighted 14 pounds 3 ounces and was 24 & 1/2 inches long. He still is not on the growth chart for his age but he is definitly catching up. Peyton can now roll from his stomach to his back both ways by himself and can roll from his back to his stomach with a small amount of help. He can also sit up pretty well just sometimes seems to fall over. He stands up in our laps very well, and we are not sure if he might walk before he crawls!

Peyton is getting dedicated at church tomorrow and we all know his life belong to God! Thank you all for the many prayers, they are blessing and definitly have helped. Please continue to pray for Peyton as he continues to grow and become stronger internally as well as externally. We will continue to up date you guys as we learn anything more. We love ya'll!
