Prayers for Pax-Aroo Stephan a Riggs

After a weekend of swimming, fishing, laughing and playing, the Riggs Family returned to their home. Steve put Paxton to bed that night. The last words Steve said to Paxton before shutting the door were, "Night, night Pax-Aroo. I love you." On July 4th, Steve was at work when he received a phone call from Deserae, his wife. She was screaming, "Paxton is dead! Paxton is dead!" Paxton had had an accident and was being transported to Phoenix Children's Hospital. Steve rushed to the hospital believing their son was dead. On July 5th, Steve reached out to their families and friends through Facebook asking everyone to pray for their baby boy. Through Steve's postings on Facebook, we follow the events that took place thereafter.
