After surgery and recovery!

Well its been a hard couple weeks, Peyton has been in a lot of pain and has been a very hunger little boy. Im sorry it has taken so long to post a update, but things has been really tough. Its seems that all I got done was to feed Peyton about 8 hours a day. It took him so long to eat from the syringe and what he was eating through it just didn't last in his tummy! It was so hard to see him cry for food. Mark and I would not eat or cook in front of him at all so we too got really hungry.
Peyton went back for his 1 week checkup on Thru. and we didn't get very good news! He still has a hole in his soft palate which means more surgery again. He now has food and liquids coming from his nose due to where the hole is located. He will need to have a retainer made to cover the hole until he can have his other surgery later on.
I was very upset with this news, because Peyton really had a hard time with this surgery. I think we need to give him a little break and not have it done right away. He has been through so much in the last 2 months that his little body needs a break.
The Dr. said in all the years that he has been doing cleft palate surgeries he has had only 10 kids that this has happen too. He said that out of the 10 kids he had 1 child that the hole completely closed on its own. We are asking everyone we see to pray that this will happen for Peyton.
We go back to the Dr. on Nov.4th to see if this miracle could happen for Peyton. Please keep him in your prayers!

Night before Peyton's surgery!

Well its the night before Peyton surgery and our little guy is sound asleep not knowing what tomorrow will bring for him. Today has been a hard day just thinking about what Peyton will go through tomorrow. Mark and I knew that this day would come but didn't realize how hard it would be on us. Peyton had been through so much in his life that I just wish he didn't half to endure anymore pain.
We will be leaving for Lexington in the morning about 3:30 am. His surgery will be at Central Baptist Hospital. We need to be there at 6:00 am and the first surgery will start about 7:30. Dr Moore will do his palate surgery last and this surgery will take 21/2 to 3 hours. We are not sure how many days Peyton will be in the hospital. Dr Moore thinks around 2 to 4 days. I will try to take the computer to keep everyone up on Peyton surgery, but I'm not sure if the hospital has Internet. If not I will post when we get home.

Peyton has adjusted so well, he is sleeping great now and is the happiest little boy! Its so much fun just to sit back and watch how much he enjoys life.

I know a lot of people has been praying for Peyton, please keep praying that Peyton will recover fast and not be in a lot of pain. I also want to thank our families for showing Peyton so much love! You all have given him the attention and love that he has missed out on as a young child. I know Peyton feels all the love around him and this will give him the strength he needs for tomorrow.
