Happy Mother's Day

Daddy-O and I had the perfect plan for the most amazing Mother's Day gift ever. We knew it would be the greatest gift ever. We knew she had always wanted it. We knew it would blow her mind. We knew it would bring her to tears {which it did}.

We worked hard all day long.

On. Off.

On. Off.

On for longer. Off.

On for even longer. Off.

On.

Can you believe it? My Passy is on! And I'm breathing! It's on!

And even more than that...I spoke my first word...

Make sure your volume is turned ALL THE WAY UP!

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.
