Payson Patch

Payson Patch  Sutton was born Monday May 14^th. He weighed 5 lbs 15 oz. We are sooo happy that he is here. His birth brought lots of emotions.

     I have been proud of Wyatt for lots of reasons through the years, but never as proud as the minute he became a Father. He was so in awe at the miracle of birth...so concerned for his little ones ability to adjust to this mortal life...so proud of how well Ashlie had done, then so compassionate as he helplessly watched her suffer.

   Payson had trouble breathing when he was born so was whisked off to the NICU. They let Wyatt and both Grandmas go see him. He was laying in the isolette, with a look of dismay on his little face. I have never seen a baby respond so quickly and strongly to his Father.  As soon as Wyatt spoke and touched him, he looked right up at him. Then he rolled his whole body over and grabbed hold of Wyatt. It was the sweetest thing. He knew Wyatt in an instant, and knew he wanted to be with his dad. That was very touching for all who witnessed it, but especially for Wyatt. 

“Patch" (what his dad calls him) was soon out of trouble, and for a few minutes got to enjoy his mothers arms.

That was short lived however.

Ashlie had some scary and very very painful things going on. It took two surgeries to correct the problem, leaving her very weak, but finally

out of danger, and not in so much pain.

It had been quite a day. Wyatt had wondered first, if he would loose his Son then if he would loose his Sweetheart. Gratefully he lost neither. He was so grateful and so exhausted.

One blessing for Wyatt is that he has got to spend so much time with “Patch”, and has loved every minute of it. It has been so sweet to watch, for both Ashlie and I.

We are so grateful once again to Father in Heaven for allowing Payson Patch to come to our family. We are also very grateful for technology and modern medicine that insured the lives of both he and Ashlie. We now pray for a speedy recovery for Ashlie. We look forward to watching this precious family grow together. Patch is so blessed to come to such happy parents who are so in love with each other and with Heavenly Father.
