We would like to invite anyone who would be willing and able to join us this Sunday in a fast for little Pierson. here is what we will be praying and fasting for:

ENT doctor looked at Pierson Wednesday night and from her quick peek down his nose and esophagus, didn't find anything wrong. Good news! She asked for the GI doctor to look at him. If baby needs a more detailed scope, the ENT and GI would be there together to look at everything. GI doc increased a medicine for his reflux and said that if Pierson is unable to swallow without getting fluid in his airway, he would need a GI tube placed in his side that goes into his stomach. A nurse said the procedure was a quick 10 minutes. And that babies who need GI tubes usually need them for 2 years. So that is how he would eat, putting his milk into a "button" in his side and into his tube and straight into his stomach. This coming Tuesday Pierson will repeat the swallow study to see if he is able to swallow without fluid going into his airway. So pur prayers and fast will be for him to be able to swallow correctly to be able to take oral feedings. Pierson has had some amazing priesthood blessings and we are very hopeful that all will be well.

When I was first admitted to the hospital, two days later I started contracting and baby's heart dropped so drastically that they were sure that they were going to have to take him at 25 weeks and only 1&1/2 pounds. I received a priesthood blessing and that night the ward fasted for us. It was a complete miracle that we made it another six weeks. We witnessed other miracles that we know have come from everyone's prayers and the power of the priesthood. We hear of so many families whose children pray for Pierson. Of course we see miracles as a result of those innocent sincere prayers! Thank you so much! We love and appreciate you and all the support we have received!
