Blink of an Eye: Wubba

Wubba

Clifford Wubba is quite protective of his little man. He has been keeping an eye on both Noah as well as the nurses taking care of him.

Wubba checks Noah's vitals every hour.

He makes sure Noah's IV placement is still good.

Wubba listens to Noah's heart and lungs

and takes his temperature every three hours.

We're so fortunate to have a "guard dog" looking over Noah.

Noah was taken off oxygen at noon today and is doing OK. If all goes well tonight, we may be going home tomorrow evening. As wonderful as the accommodations are at Children's Hospital, there's no place like home!!!

"Home sweet home" sounds so good!! It's good to know that Clifford Wubba is protecting Noah since Sierra can't be there to do the job :-) I think Wubba and Sierra make an excellent team! Continuing to praise and pray...

If Wubba Clifford became a nurse, he would be able to watch "over" Noah every second since he's so big.

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.
