How many of you out there have "gain weight" as number one on your to do list? I'm gonna guess, not too many. It is certainly not at the top of mine!
But for Noah -- between the poor absorption, severe allergies and sensitivities, and the terrible stomach issues -- it has been one of the great difficulties in his life. And that is saying something.
So I wasn't expecting much in that department when we went to the doctor for a check-up. I mean, I thought he would have gained a couple pounds, and I would have been very pleased with that. A little gain for Noah is a giant leap.
Well, I am very, very, very (how many can I add before it comes completely ridiculous?) proud to say that Noah has gained about six pounds in the past year! Six pounds!!
To put it into perspective, that is six more pounds than he gained in the previous three years. Yes. It was that bad.
As my dear friend Tracy would say "Go God!!"
(We miss you, Tracy!)
And we are looking forward to more giant leaps!
Noah's army is a group of volunteers united in doing a program that will give Noah the best chance he has for reaching his potential. Come by any time for news on his progress and to see pictures of him and his brother.
Prayer Requests
UPDATED 08/20/12
1. Please pray that we can continue to get our new house set up for all of Noah's needs and that we can find all the volunteers we needs to do Noah's program (this is always a big, slow process when we move).
3. Our other big request is for Noah's hip. Noah's out-of-joint left hip is really holding him back. He needs range of motion, and he needs the muscles that are too tight to loosen up and the loose muscles to tighten up and get bigger. Pray for a new type of physical therapy we are started specifically to help the hip.
