My Two Year Old!!!

Noah turned the mighty "Two" yesterday!!! I still can not believe how the first two years have flew by. And I am pretty sure I don't have to say it, but his first 2 years were amazing, scary, fun, sad, unforgettable, heart breaking, miracle filled, covered in prayer and held in God's ever capable hands. Yesterday, Aaron and I were looking at old videos and photos... basically starting with his birth photos and working our way to the present. I teared up quite a few times. Both for the scary moments and the moments when God gave us another miracle to hang tightly to. Each and every milestone (and now repeated milestones) are treasured and never forgotten. In a way, his struggles have been a blessing to me... I say that because I have grown in Christ more now than ever before but also because I know I look at life differently and know how important it is to cherish those moments ... even the little everyday things.

Noah has had a total of 6 major surgeries. Two of them were life saving. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around that fact. Noah is a miracle. There is no better word for him. I thank Jesus for every second I have with Noah. I thank Him for the miracles. We are so blessed that God chose US to be his parents!

Now for a quick update because it is late and I am tired.

Noah had botox injections today to correct the foot drop. He received a total of four injections. Then we go in next Thursday to have his foot casted. He will have to have his foot re-casted once a week to achieve full range of motion again and it could take up to 8 weeks to correct. Then he will have a brace to wear at night so as to prevent it from returning. The doctors believe the foot drop was caused from his cardiac arrest. Next week I will start posting photos of the serial casting progress.

Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers! Love the Solomon's :)

Welcome to Noah's blog! We thank you for following us on our God-led journey and thank you for all your thoughts and prayers! Noah was born June 22, 2009 with many anatomical birth defects and underwent his first major surgery when he was just 4 days old. He has been in and out of the hospital since day one and has had a total of 4 major surgeries to date, with his latest one being the most extreme and difficult - his first open heart surgery on November 4 and December 17th, 2010. He is a warrior and this is his journey...
