Blink of an Eye: Crying

Crying

Many people have asked what Noah "sounds like". How do you know when he's crying if he can't make any noise? We recorded him right before a diaper change – remember he HATES to be wet.

I suppose like all mothers, I don't like to see my little guy crying. Fortunately, he doesn't do it very often.

Dr. Fields, our pediatrician, gave us the results of Noah's lung culture. Fortunately, he has a bacterial infection that can easily be treated with oral antibiotics as opposed to antibiotics through his IV. We will be able to go home as soon as Noah is off oxygen. He has been put on oxygen because his lungs are still recovering from the RSV. We hope to be home some time this weekend.

Hi kid! It's time for more of those fantastic grins and less crying. Out you go - no more hospital visits for a while, okay? It's exhausting for your parents, as well as all the Team Noah people out here!

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.
