Last Weekend

Last weekend, Grandma and Grandpa Jackson came down to Fresno to spend some time with family and introduce their new dog, Biscuit. Isn't he just the cutest little thing?

Kc, Noah and I headed over to Aunt Sharon and Uncle Gary's house for a lovely visit and some amazing, homemade bierocks. It was so nice to spend time with the Jackson side of the family.

The best part for me was holding Noah and watching him smile and wanting to sit up and down over and over again. He's such a strong little fella full of personality! And I'm full of gratitude and thankfulness to our Lord for you all!
Love, Grandma

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.
