Great-Grandma

On Friday we bid a fond farewell to Great-Grandma Bartlett. She came out to sunny California from wintry Wisconsin in the middle of December and has spent two glorious months with Nana and Papa. She is on her way back home and will be greatly missed. Many family members from all over the west coast have traveled to Fresno to visit with Great-Grandma. It has been a blessing to spend time with an amazing 95 year-old woman who has so many life experiences and words of wisdom.

Noah loves his Great-Grandma Bartlett {especially her glasses} and will miss all the time he got to spend with her.

We love you Great-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.
