Blink of an Eye: Turkey

Turkey

In an effort to have Noah "play with his food", we attempted to give our little Stink Pot a turkey leg on Thanksgiving. At first he looked at it with an inquiring eye.

Once he grabbed the leg, however, he instantly knew it was FOOD. EEK!

Get that thing away from me! That made Daddy-O and Papa secretly very happy!

Noah, don't worry about not liking the turkey leg. In fact, your Aunt Vanessa doesn't like meat on the bone either. Totally understandable.

That is one big turkey leg. I bet Noah could use it for weightlifting :-) I think this was actually the first year that both A&E attacked the big bird. I believe they would both tell Noah that it was YUMMY!

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.
