Blink of an Eye: Praying for Poop

Praying for Poop

Thank you all so much for your prayers. Noah's colostomy closure was a success yesterday. He did very well during the procedure and slept most of the rest of the day. Dr. Hodge said that Noah needs to poop before we can begin to feed him...we need to know that all his pipes are in working order. So, while Nana is with Noah at Children's Hospital today, we're praying for poop. We'll post some pictures soon.

Rebecca,
I've been thinking of you often here in Gilroy and try to stay updated on how Noah is doing. So glad to see he is coming along like a champ. I'm praying for poop, too! Good luck with everything!

Come on Noah! You can do it, what do those folks say? Oh yeah, "just relax, don't try too hard and everything will come out alright."

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.
