Blink of an Eye: Rolling, Rolling, Rolling

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling

Up until now, Mr. Man has been able to roll from his back to his tummy, but once he got there, he was stuck. Well...he has just discovered how to get from his tummy to his back and learned that he can move from point A to point B by rolling in one direction. Our little guy is on the move.

Notice how Noah grabs his trach at the end of the video. It's a new (and scary) thing for him. We have started flicking his hand when he grabs it. There are some things that little boys just cannot touch!

YAY on the rolling, start baby proofing girl!

On the Trach tugging, you might try redirecting him by just placing something else in his hands and ignoring it. I know it sounds weird but if you draw any attention (flick) he may just do it for the interaction. Austin has done the decan 3 times, each time he has been in his HC with nothing to play with, my bad. I think Noah is young enough that you can try to occupy his hands so he will have something else to "play" with. It can be a LONG stage!!!!

Rolling over is such fun! It is amazing how far the little guys go once they get on a roll (pun intended). It's also great that we can all experience the joy via video; still shots never give the event the credit it deserves. Way to go, Noah!

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.
