The Great Food Experiment - Day Eleven

Things are going GREAT!!!!!!

It's been a whole week since Noah has vomited.

That's seven whole days...one hundred sixty-eight hours...ten thousand eighty minutes...since I've seen the wave of nausea wash over my Little Man's eyes and I've had to quickly grab for the nearest towel {of which we learned to have plenty around}.

We've never even had two days in a row without one puking episode from Stinkpot, so this is HUGE people! HUGE!!!

I think we can unofficially declare that Noah is allergic to/unable to digest dairy and soy. We'll just add that to the uniqueness of our Little Man!

That is such wonderful news! What a huge change for all your lives but... oh Noah it's so wonderful that this was found out for you. I Praise the Lord for showing your mommy and daddy what to do.
Love, Grandma Cindy :D

Way to figure it out! Not puking is awesome :) I imagine that not feeling yucky after feeding is pretty awesome too. I hear that coconut and hemp milk are good, relatively high calorie options (neighbor down the street has been figuring out her kids intolerances). Good luck babe!

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.
