Champion Swimmer

Noah finished his swimming lessons by the end of May and had an absolute BLAST!!! He truly LOVED his teacher, Mr. Nick, and learned so much. We have spent so many afternoons in Nana & Papa's pool and Mr. Man is a confident little fish. He has no fear in the pool and swims all over it.

During his last lesson, Mr. Nick had fun with Noah and they played with gigantic ducks.

My Little Fish!

It was hard to get a picture of Noah during his graduation ceremony...darn afternoon sun. Here he is smiling for the camera.

He was so proud of his medal and ribbon.

My champion swimmer!!!

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.
