Sitting Up

Noah has recently learned the tricky task of sitting up from a lying down position.

He pushes himself up on one arm while swinging his leg around.

I'm sitting! That's right! I'm sitting!

Great job Noah!!!! You also look like you would be great as an aerobic instructor leading stretching exercises... I could never be as limber as you young man! I bet you are sooo happy you can sit anytime you want now :) Love, Gramma

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.
