This is Rachel, but I'm posting an email from Jaymie:
We are settled in here in Dallas and today we've gotten a little more information from doctors and nurses. Yesterday was a little crazy as we were blindsided because Kanyon kind of took a dip, but we're getting it all figured out now. He started having more of his apnea/bradycardia spells during his transfer and while they were getting him settled here. He had been doing great before while we were in Longview, so this was a surprise. So, when he got here they put him back on the ventilator to settle him down and they started from there trying to figure out his condition. They are running every culture under the sun right now making sure there is no infection anywhere in his body. Those take 48 hours to show up, so we don't know about those yet. They also did an ECCO and they found that his PDA heart valve is opened and will have to be closed with surgery. We were disappointed to hear this because we were thinking all of that was behind us. We knew there was a possibility that it could re-open and it obviously did sometime in the last 24-48 hours. SOOO...needless to say yesterday was tough because we left Longview thinking we were coming here for a routine procedure to be done Monday morning and be back to Longview by Wednesday or Thursday and we find out we're not going anywhere for a while. Kanyon is resting now-- they are pretty much leaving him alone after all he went through yesterday. As the cultures come back and time passes, we'll know more about what steps we'll take next. Please Please PLEASE pray a few extra prayers for Kanyon over the next few days. His little body has already been through so much. We are praying for his brain (which they were able to tap some fluid off of and relieve the pressure for now), his lungs as he's back on the vent and needing to give them some rest, but at the same time, they need to keep maturing, as well as for his heart. We also want to ask GOD for an infection free boy! The infections will only complicate and prolong all of this, so we really hope we can dodge that problem. So..all in all, I am asking GOD to protect every little part of his body inside and out. Thank you for the prayers I know you are already praying and the ones I know you will continue to pray. They will give him strength and they give us strength as well. We'll keep you posted.

We are praying fervently for Kanyon and his mom and dad and grandma and grandpa and aunts and uncles. Thanks so much for the update. I've been checking off and on all day. What a blessing to have a God who loves us and a Saviour who understands this world's griefs.
Praise God!
Love,

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Peace, Perfect Peace
Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed?
To do the will of Jesus--this is rest.
Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found.
Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.
Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.
be strong and take heart in the Lord's mighty plan! We continue to pray daily for your sweet boy and his sweet family!
Kory, Jaymie, and Kanyon: We continue to pray for you and think of you often. We wish there was some way we could give you a great big hug!! We love you--The Mark Hanner family
It's the Paris cousins again. We continue to pray. The team of doctors will keep us all ready for updates. Waiting takes much energy. Getting the reports quickly after the 48 hours will be good. After the surgery, you will know that the valve is closed. We will just go one day at a time, like the Bible suggests. God is in control. We trust him. Thanks for the updates. We love y'all.

I can't imagine the roller coaster of emotions that you guys are suffering. We will be praying for Kanyon and for MOM and DAD and grandparents as this transition was a tough one and a longer one than expected. You know that if you need anything...just call.
WE LOVE YOU!
Stacey, Paige, Parker and Emaline!
Be strong and keep the faith. God will take care of you in Dallas and hopefully bring you back to Longview very soon. We are in constant prayer because prayer works. KT
So sorry to hear about the set backs. God has a plan for everything! Hang tough little man & mom & dad! We will be praying those extra prayers!
Love,
Scott & Christina Moffitt
Praying for precious Kanyon!
Jaymie...I pray miraculous healing, powerful protection and a downpouring of blessings for you and your sweet family. Rebecca Towers Hensley
Know that your request is the least we can do. We're asking God to bring healing to Kanyon's rollercoaster ride and fill Mom and Dad with the comfort knowing everything will work together for good. I still envision the testimony Kanyon will one day share with us all and the difference he continues to make in Day 43 in all of our lives.
Hugs and love,
Derald, Lesa and Haley
We are praying without ceasing! The plan is to drop by Friday to see you guys but we will call you Mom first in case it's not a good time for visitors.

To our dear, sweet Kory & Jaymie,
We continue to pray for you to have strength and peace over Kanyon's health issues. We wish this wasn't happening, but we know that God will help you through it. We send our love and our admiration for how well you are handling all of this. Love, Eldon & Marilyn
This is Matt, Taliesin's dad.
Good luck with the surgery. Like the Cherokee, you must endeavour to persevere and we will all do what we can to help.

My heart just aches for the roller coaster you are on. (Secretly, I never liked roller coasters. I just pretended to be brave on them!) I am beginning to really understand the "pray without ceasing" command! You are constantly in my heart, my prayers - I am pleading with God to carry you safely through this ride - to His Glory. Kanyon, Jaymie and Kory are my heros! I will see you soon! I love you!
We're praying and we love yall!
Jeremy, Kendra, and Cassidee
I am praying for sweet Kanyon. God is a great healer. I pray that he gives both Kanyon and you guys his comfort and peace.
You are in my prayers in Golden, CO.
Jaymie and Kory,
I am praying for Kanyon and for the two of you. I'm also praying for the doctors, nurses, and anyone else that will be treating Kanyon...that God will give them wisdom and skill in treating Kanyon. God is the ultimate healer, and I know that He has Kanyon in the palm of His hand.
Love,
Cheryl Hawthorne
I know all too well the roller coaster that you are riding. Your faith and prayers to the Lord will get you through. You have soo many prayer warriors. Kanyon is in the best of hands and a fighter. He is a miracle sent from God and will continue to show the world his strength and healing. We pray for you all everyday. Remember "Slow and Steady Wins the Race." With each "setback", there is a reason. A reason that is unknown at the time, but will later be known for good. A "setback" when you're on this roller coaster is a blessing in disguise. It's hard to accept at first, but in the end, it is for his benefit. We love you guys and think of you all the time. You are blessed to have soo many people that are praying for you. Keep your faith strong.
Love, the Caldwell Crew
