Grandma and Grandpa

This weekend we traveled up to Rocklin, just north of Sacramento, to visit Kc's parents. Grandma and Grandpa Jackson were so excited to spend some time with Noah, and his parents, of course. It was a busy weekend filled with great food (Roger's famous steak), playing with the little man, and a parade of friends coming over to meet the new grandson.

We finally got a picture of three generations of Jackson men, Roger, Kc and Noah. How special!

Hi Noah, it was so much fun to have you, your parents and Sierra dog come up and spend the weekend with us. We will always remember your first visit and looking forward to many more to come! You are very blessed by loving parents, family and friends, oh yes, and Sierra dog and kitty too! May the Lord continue to grow you up strong both physically and spiritually with great faith in our loving God!
Much Love, Grandma & Grandpa

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.
