Blink of an Eye: Signing

Signing

Noah is learning more and more signs. I attempted to record it on video for you to see. I imagined my cute Bubs sitting down, rattling off signs faster than I can narrate them. Unfortunately, that did not happen. After several recording sessions, multiple days, and many pep talks, all I have is footage that belongs on the editing room floor.

Well...here are two of the "best". Take a peek at our uncooperative Little Stinkpot.

Here is please and milk {as well as rattling from a trach}.

Here he is at the end of a "long" shooting session and all you get is please.

It is a delight to watch Noah sign; he seems so happy doing it. I'd love to see him on a day when he felt chatty! So adorable and the way you are with him, Becky, well, that too is a joy to observe. You are an inspiration to us.
Thank you.

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.
