Noah loves his animals

Noah loves his animals. He loves to hold them, make them run, make them fly, line them up, and throw them across the room. He definitely has his favorites...but they seem to alternate from day to day. The lion, of course, holds his place on top, but is often trumped by the elephant, giraffe, dolphin, whale, or horse.

He truly is my Noah!

My son is almost 11 and he is just now letting me get rid of his (hundreds, literally) animals. I would love to send some to Noah if you would like more! I will pick out the biggest, best ones. :)

I am just getting caught up on our friends' blogs and WOAH he has no trach!!! Awesome!! I love the pictures of him showing his letters off. He is doing amazing! :)

So very appropriate. Sidenote: Yesterday in the car Jonah was saying "Where No NO? Where No NO?" and signing Noah. So cute and so sad all at once :) :(

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.
