The Jackson's Christmas - Part 2

The day after Christmas, the Jackson family packed up and headed north to celebrate with Kc's parents in Rocklin.

We got to spend some great time with Grandma and Grandpa Jackson and Uncle Scott (Kc's older brother).

Once again, our little guy was spoiled rotten by his Grandparents (isn't that their job?!?) and he enjoyed opening gifts and playing with the paper.

The short trip was filled with love, good food, great conversations, a bit of Wii Rock Band, and plenty of hugs and kisses from 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.
