Blink of an Eye: Go Pac Go!

Go Pac Go!

Noah is quite the fan of football...much to the delight of Daddy-O. He's also quite the fan of the Green Bay Packers...much to the chagrin of Daddy-O. Shortly after he was born, Bubs received his first Green Bay garb from Aunt Mary Lynn, Nicole, Marvin, Megan and Dakota. He was able to wear the shirt, but had to wait a bit to wear the sweats. Well...that time has come.

There was plenty of opportunities for Mr. Man to shout "touchdown".

During half time, Stinkpot and I threw the ball around a bit. A future Heisman Trophy winner if ever I saw one.

On a medical note, three days ago, Noah was started on another antibiotic. This is number three. The doctor thought he never got over the initial trach infection before the flu and strep throat attacked. I am SO pleased to announce that Mr. Man slept through the night...for the first time since December 22. His "old" routine was to wake up {at least once} between 2am and 4am with a coughing spell that would last about an hour and usually lead to vomiting. It was SO NICE to sleep until 7am this morning. SO. VERY. NICE.

Let's hope this antibiotic #3 is the magic pill I've been hoping for.

Let's hope. It's a blessing when toddlers sleep through the night. The pic of him with his football is priceless. I'm just thinking how did you get him to do it bet it's all natural. Touchdown 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.
