The number one thing we ask for from any of you is support, encouragement, prayer and either a text, email or on the “words of encouragement” page. If you’d like your prayer read allowed to/over Payton feel free to send it to one of us and we’ll do that.

Some specific things to be praying for:

 

• Pray for peace and wisdom for us as we continue to navigate through this whole journey.
• Pray that Payton heals quickly and FULLY as they have mentioned the possibility of long term or even permanent mobility limitations, pain, or discomfort particularly in her legs. 
• Pray Payton continues to do well in her therapies and make progress, even if it’s small each day.
• Pray she wouldn’t get discouraged and would stay joyful and spunky.
• Pray for the results of the mitochondria labs and that this is all in fact GBS and that we don’t have anything else larger on our hands here.
• Praise for all the love and support surrounding this sweet girl and our whole family.
• Pray for our little family as it continues to be a hard balance and split of our family between hospital and home that is very hard for all of us.

 

If you’re looking for a more “physical” way to support us through this time see some other options below. Again, all we really ask for is prayers and words of encouragement.

Other ways to support:

- DoorDash gift cards

- Home cooked meals: microwaveable or cold friendly meals in quantities suitable for 2 people, ideally without any leftovers as we don’t have spaces to store much. 

- Target gift cards for other needed items

- A dear friend also setup a gofundme for us. Darienne will in effect extend her “maternity leave” to continue to assist with Payton and wrangle our boys. Aaron has also been on leave and staying with Payton in the hospital almost 24/7. Again the most important thing to us is your prayers and encouragement throughout Payton’s stay.

- If you want to send pictures that your kids color or make or pictures of you & your family that we can hang in her room, she would love that! We’ll be trying to decorate her room a little to make it a little happier so feel free to send anything our way.
