Blink of an Eye: Old Friends

Old Friends

Last week, some very old and dear friends stopped in Fresno on their way moving from Pennsylvania to Nevada. Noah was fortunate to have two play dates with Ellie and Brody. He learned how to stack Legos, enjoy the sandbox, and clean-up the toys he spread all over the floor.

We were able to have a great BBQ with the Bucks on Friday! It was so nice to catch up, eat yummy food, and watch Ellie pull Noah around, and around, and around in the little red wagon.

Looking forward to more opportunities to get together now that the Bucks are back on the West Coast!

I love and miss you 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.
