17 Years Ago

Seventeen years ago today Scott and I had been married for 10 years, Morgan was 7yrs old and in the first grade, Emily was 5yrs old and in preschool and Noah was 15mths old. I remembered watching Scott being wheeled away for his cancer surgery. It was a scary time for us. I was praying that we had caught it soon enough and that he would be okay. What would I do without him? Noah had just been diagnosed and the girls were so little. It was clearly a rough time in our family's life. I praise God everyday that Scott is still cancer free. I can't imagine my life without my soulmate. 
I love you , Scott!!! You have been my rock through thick and thin.

We are so excited, 2 more days....

 Ten and half years ago Noah went to his first and last Indian's game at Jacob's Field. (We went to a Red's Indian's game in Cincinnati once.) Scott got 4 free tickets from work. Noah was small enough he could sit on my lap. It was fun but, man was I sore the next day.
 The girls made sign's to cheer on the team.
 To bad digital cameras weren't available back then. I would have made sure Noah looked a little more happy to be there because, he was very excited.
It started out to be kinda of  a wet day and then turned out to be pretty nice.
Ever since then, I've dreamt of taking Noah again and watching him run the bases with his Dad.
Because of a friend of Scott's I'm going to see that dream become a reality. Scott's friend gave us tickets to the game on Sunday. It so happens to be a Kid Fun Day.
So, after the game Noah and his Daddy will be running the bases.
I can't wait!!!!!!
Thanks, Dave

Happy Birthday Noah/Old Photo Friday

Noah was born Jan 28th 1998 5lbs 14oz.
Noah decided to come 2 weeks early we had no idea there was anything wrong with him at this time.
Although we have since found out that Noah's fingers  and toes were still blue after 10min. at birth and no oxygen was given to him at that time.  We believe because of this he has CP.
1 month old
 Noah was such a good baby. He would hardly ever cry. He did have problems with eating. I would feed him for a hour. ( He would eat 2oz.) and we would sleep an hour. We did this for months.
6 months
At 4m old he had hernia surgery and weighed 9lbs. At this time we took him to see a endocrinologist to see if there was a reason he was having trouble gaining weight. They tested him for Parader Willie. They found nothing.
1 year old
 At one year old Noah weighed 12 lbs and still could not sit or hold his own head.

18 months
When Noah was 15 months old he was diagnosed with Trisomy 8. That was the hardest day. With this diagnosis we found out that there is whole list of things that should be wrong with Noah. Such as, no knee caps, deep set eyes, full lips and there are many others.  Noah has none of these.  His main problem is his CP.
3 years
When Noah was 3 years old he had surgery to correct his eyes and he had his second surgery for tubes in his ears.
 Noah  got his wheelchair when he was 3.
He also started preschool.
5 yrs
 Noah had his G-tube put in when he was 5yrs old. Besides tasting things Noah is still fed mostly by his G-Tube using a blenderized diet.
9yrs
 When Noah was 8 years we were able to provide HBOT for him.
Right before Noah turned 10 years old we started  ABR. By far the best thing we ever did for Noah.
Noah you are a true blessing in our family. None of us would be the same without you.
Happy birthday, Noah!!!!!!
We love you.

Happy Birthday Scott/ Old Photo Friday

Today is Scott's 47th birthday. We have known each other for 31 of those years and have been married for 22 1/2. What an awesome husband and Dad he has turned out to be. The last 6 months I've prayed every morning to have a better attitude and asked God to help me see what a awesome person he is. I can honestly say I feel much better about our relationship today than I did 6 months ago.
Happy Birthday sweetie, I love you.

Last weekend Morgan and Emily were each in dance recitals.

Watching them got me thinking about how they have always loved dancing.

It has given them the confidence to do anything they set their minds to.

Morgan 6yrs. and Emily 4yrs.

Twenty Two years ago today I married my best friend. Over the years we had our ups and downs but, I can still say I love Scott very much. This last week when I had to travel to Montreal without him, I realized how much I appreciate all the things he does to help out with Noah. He has always supported me in all the different things I have found to help Noah. When I first found ABR about 3 1/2 years ago he supported me even though at times he thought it seemed a little different and strange. We now have come to realize that its the best thing we have ever done for Noah.

I missed Scott so much last week while we were in Montreal. I realized how much I love him and lean on him for support when things get tough. He is the best Dad to our 3 wonderful children. Even though he didn't get to go with Noah and I, he really enjoyed spending time with Morgan and Emily by himself. Happy Anniversary Scott, I love you so much.

This my all time favorite picture of Noah and his Daddy.
In fact it hangs on the wall of our living room.
The minute Noah was born, I remember Scott saying over and over again, " It's a Boy, It's a Boy"
Scott was so excited to finally having a little boy he could pal around with.
We soon learned that things weren't going to be the way we imagined.
I felt so bad ..... I thought I had failed Scott by not giving him a son that he could go out in the back yard and toss a ball with and all the other things a Dad can do with their son.
At first Scott was very angry with God. He asked him,"How could do this to me?" He even wondered what he had done wrong to deserve this. With a lot of soul searching and prayer he soon realized that God wasn't punishing him. He gave Noah to him because he knew that he was the best Daddy out there for him. Scott realized that yes, he couldn't run and play with Noah but, he could still have fun with his son. They have the best of times together. They enjoy watching the Cleveland Indians together. One of Scott's dreams is to be able to take Noah to a game and run the bases with him. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. Maybe one day, I will be able to watch them fulfill his dream.
They also enjoy watching the old black and white movies together. Like, Frankenstein, Dracula and The Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Just thinking about my 2 guys spending time together makes me smile and I have fallen in love with Scott a little bit more.
To the best Daddy ever, I love you and thank you for our 3 beautiful children,
Susan
