I haven’t written in a while, and I probably won’t be very consistent…because that’s been my history, but I wanted to check in and write that Noah is doing well. It’s still occurs to me that my son has Down syndrome, and then I’m like “whoa” even though all the signs are there: he sees 3 different therapists who work with him in our house, he had duodenal atresia surgery, he’s hard of hearing in one ear, he has the almond eyes and the tongue out resting face, he hasn’t begun to crawl or sit up by himself yet (he’s very delayed as predicted) and he still has several doctors on his medical care team. However, when I look at Noah’s face I recall a few things: 1. God gave me him, which makes Noah a precious precious gift given to me by God for God’s purposes (which are both perfect and good for me), 2. He is so beautiful and I love him so much!
I don’t quite FEEL his Down syndrome yet, but all I know is God is in control and each day I take a step with Him and everything works out.
Love you all,
Jmegrey
