Shari Goodwin asked that I send this news to our class about Richard and Jeanie Payton’s new granddaughter, Stella. Stella was born on Wednesday, Jan. 26, by C-section, weighing only 4 pounds, 4 ounces. She was delivered early because of the discovery of increasing fluid and pressure in her brain. She has been given an early diagnosis of lissencephaly, which has a high mortality rate and very likely mental retardation, but doctors are not sure yet the severity. The Paytons ask for your prayers.
Please keep the doctors, Stella and her parents, Richie and Joey, and the rest of the family in your thoughts and prayers.
