Your Papa couldn't have asked for a better gift! God bless you, Noah as you continue to grow stronger. I can't wait to read your blog about what you think of your new 'digs; when you finally get to go home. You and your mommy and daddy are in my prayers every day. Your grandma called some of us 'blogaholics'. Guilty! I can't go a day without reading about your progress - or sometimes those two steps back. You sure are keeping a lot of us on our knees! Have fun with your Papa on his special day.

Hugs,
Darilyn King

Aubrie wanted to be sure I let you know she thinks of you and Noah every day! She said something that I wanted to share with you. From the mouth of babe's. She told me "God needs to put special children on the earth to help us see that everyone has a gift. And that he only puts them with his angels, because they are strong enough to love them. Mommy Mrs.Jackson is Noah's angel I just know it!" Are hearts and prayers are with you.

Love Aubrie Hartwig and Family

Mrs. Jackson-
You are truely missed each day. Emily has piles of pictures for both you and Noah. He is such a beautiful little boy. I am a big believer in a phrase, "if God brings you to it, he gets you through it." We admire your family's strength and will keep you in our prayers.
Love, Emily Schalk & Family

The Story

Our son, Noah Stone Jackson, was born with a very rare genetic disorder called Fraser syndrome. Among his many challenges are one “hidden eye”, a narrow trachea (which required him to have a tracheotomy), an imperforate anus (which required a colostomy), difficulty swallowing (which required a G-Tube for feedings), the fusing of his vocal chords (which means he may never speak), and club feet (which are being corrected with braces). Our family is on an amazing journey together. We are learning to walk along this path that God has planned for us, trusting in His infinite love and wisdom. We are taking each day (or each moment) as it comes and relying on each other, our friends and family, and our God for strength. We have a long road ahead of us filled with several more surgeries, lots of recovery, countless hours of therapy, and many trips to specialists around the state. Every day brings us challenges but they pale in comparison to the smiles and cuddles from our little man. Noah is our son, a true gift from God, and we cannot wait to see where this adventure leads.
