Hello everyone,I just wanted to let you all know that Ray and I are doing okay. We miss our son like crazy. Their is not one day that goes by that I don't think of my Baby. I can still feel his presence next to me when I wake up in the morning. Nothing ever gets you prepared to lose a loved one. But knowing God gives us the comfort to go on and know that Noah is in heaven with no pain. Noah brought so many people to our lives and can say he changed alot of lives. I know for one that he made me the person I am today . Maybe that was his Destiny. Ray is working and doing good, going to church every Wednesday and Sunday. Im looking for a job kind of, Its been so long since Ive worked but being home everyday makes me go crazy my mind just don't stop thinking of Noah. It will be a month that Noah passed, I just can't believe how fast things happen how life will brings joy to your life but also throws you curve balls! I find myself at the Cemetary just cring for Noah, On his Stone it has a Boat with the water underneath it and a Giant rainbow, Its so beautiful. I want to Thank everybody that signed Noahs guestbook and all the beautiful cards, and to our church in Memphis, Thank You all for everything you did for us. Well we will try to keep you all updated.
Love,

Noah had some pain this morning again, But he is better now.

If you would like to help so that Jenny & Ray can focus their attention on Noah & get settled back home with him it would be greatly appreciated. This transition from St. Jude can be very difficult as all basic needs are met for EVERY patient & their family. Going home with the news they learned last week is very difficult. Working a full time job while Noah needs his parents love is also very difficult. Your prayers are one of the best ways to help them. If you are able to help in other ways please see below:

-Walmart & Target cards

They need your prayers most of all for what will be a very tough road as they meet a new medical team to help them care for Noah. I cannot imagine having to go to work while all of this is going on with your baby. If you would like to help them so that they can focus their time & attention on precious Noah it would be very much appreciated. Target & Walmart cards would help with food & basic needs.

Hi everyone sorry it took so long for us to update, But its been a crazy week. Anyways the day has come for Noahs MRI tomorrow evening, and I can't began to say how we feel right know. Its so scary that I can't even think about it without cring,But I know that I have to leave it to God and he only knows what plans he has in stored for my baby boy, and I know he won't give us anything that we can't handle. God can still do a miracle to my baby and we are not giving up, But enjoying each day that we have with him. Well Noah looks good and he is still very active and alert. Thank You all for your prayers and for signing Noahs website.

Thursday, February 10, 2005 1:47 PM CST

Noah is doing well, his counts are still up, which is a surprise after three days off the chemo. We think this Healen 951 is helping him but we know for sure God is protecting our little boy. I guess we will stay here in Memphis, TN for the week, we had missed out on a deal with airline tickets. We are kind of upset but everything happens for a reason. Noahs counts can drop any day now and when they do it would be better here just in case he gets a fever. God continues to show his grace and mercy to us and we thank him every day. Thank you all for your prayers, remember to keep the M.R.I in your prayers also, that takes place on FEBUARY 18, 2005 and we are praying for good news. God Bless.

Saturday, February 5, 2005 10:33 PM CST

Noah is doing well today, chemo went really well last night and no throwing up. We will be going home on Monday hopefully, after this Noah gets a break for two weeks, we are thinking about going back to Albuquerque,New Mexico for that time. The BIG MRI is still ahead of us and we are praying for good news, please keep this day in your prayers Ray and I are going to need them since its so stressful. Thanks again for checking up on our sweet baby Noah.

Monday, January 31, 2005 3:51 PM CST

Noah is doing well, everyday he has something new to show us. Everyone tells us he is getting really chunky. Noah is talking more than ever and starting to pull himself up, not standing up but sitting up. God is so good, I can really see his work every morning. Thank you all for your prayers and commemnts, every little prayer is helpful, not only for Noah but for yourselves, continue to build your relationship with our true Father in heaven, thats all he wants from you is a relationship. So continue to pray for Noah and our friends here at St.Jude. Noah has a big day coming up Febuary 18. It will be a MRI, this will tell us if the tumor shrunk or has gotten worse. Thank you and God bless.

Saturday, January 22, 2005 11:02 AM CST

Noah is doing well. No more cold,cough or throwing up his milk, PRAISE GOD!!!! God is still answering prayers. We had such a good week, Jennys sister came into town and we went all over Memphis and watched a couple of movies. Its nice to go out for awhile away from the hospital. Thank you so much for your prayers, they really are being answered. God Bless.

Monday, January 17, 2005 1:15 AM CST

Hi everyone, today Noah is doing really well, no more fever! We are just waiting for his counts to go upto 500 and then we will be out of the Hospital sometime this coming week. He is already upto 200 almost there. Well my sister Janice and my niece Jasmine (3mths old) are coming Tuesday to stay with us for a week, so we are excited to spend time with her, and show her all the nice families that we hang out with and the Beautiful Hospital that has changed are lifes and Noahs. Thank You All for all the prayers its so nice to know that their are people that are praying for us and care for us! Please visit our good friends Scott and Joyce on thier daughters website, their daughter just went recently to heaven to be with Jesus, please let them know you are praying for them through this hard time.(www.caringbridge.com mi/paigedavis) Well Thank You All and Please pray for all the families at St.Jude.

Sunday, January 16, 2005 11:35 AM CST

Noah is doing so much better, more smiling and swatting me in the face every morning. Thank you all for your prayers they mean alot to us and Noah. I thank God for Noah every day, he is such a blessing to us, we are going to continue in our faith knowing there will be a cure for this tumor soon. When you pray for Noah, remember that God really does hear every little prayer you have, and He enjoys every moment you spend with him, and will always provide. God is good. I pray for everyone hear at St. Jude, we really go thru alot, keep strong in the faith and God will show you amazing things. Thank you for checking up on our sweet baby boy Noah, God bless you.

Saturday, January 15, 2005 8:53 AM CST

Noah is doing much better than before, found out it wasnt a line infection, the fever was caused by a cold he has been fighting for a month now. His counts have been pretty low also. He is back to his regular self again, hopefully we get out today or tomorrow. Thank you all for your prayers.

Thursday, January 13, 2005 10:36 PM CST

Noah had alittle episode this morning, he woke up with a very high fever. The doctors took very good care of him, they think it might be a line infection. They had also checked him into ICU to monitor him closely. His fever came down at about 9:30p.m its still alittle high but not as bad. He gave us a good fright but is doing well. The doctors were going to hook him up on a breathing machine if his breathing got worse, thankfully it had not. I know we still have a tough road ahead, but sometimes I dont think I could take anymore situations like this. It is so hard to go through, watchin your helpless baby lay there while four nurses and three doctors try to stabalize him. I asked the Lord how long will he live, how much more of this can he take? How much more can we take Lord? Noahs middle name is Hezekiah, a king in the old testament, he went through hard times for the best in his life. We have much to learn about life, and I feel we have learned alot. Thank you for your prayers and continue to pray for my sweet, sweet baby Noah. God Bless you.

Wednesday, January 12, 2005 3:19 PM CST

Hi everyone I just wanted to let you all Noah is doing well, except for a little cold and he's throwing up alittle but he still going and he looks so good. Just keep praying for him and Thank you all for signing Noah's website. Its good to know that their are people that are praying for Noah. God Bless You all!

Monday, January 10, 2005 2:23 PM CST

Noah is doing well. It is so hard to think he is sick when he is so alert and active. He has a very strong will to survive. I pray God is doing something amazing to Noah. Thank you for your prayers.

Friday, January 7, 2005 5:35 PM CST

Noah is doing great with this chemo, we started him on a herb called Haelen 951. It helps boost up his immunity so he wont get sick with the chemotherapy. We had done alot of research on this and to be honest I think we should all take it everyday. I will do anything possible to find a cure for this nasty tumor. Thank you all for your prayers, We will be leaving the hospital in a couple of hours. Pray for Noah

Friday, January 7, 2005 2:50 AM CST

Noah is doing well today, no throwing up and still very active.He will be leaving the hospital tomorrow night. Please pray this chemo will have some kind of a effect on this tumor. I know God has a mighty plan for Noah.

Thursday, January 6, 2005 1:31 AM CST

Thank you all for your prayers and support. This has been a journey I will never forget. Noah is doing fine, its so hard to realize he is sick when he looks so well. The doctors gave us some choices to make, we could go home and start a chemo called I.C.E or stay here at St.Jude and get the same treatment. We really would like to go home but we know if Noah has a chance for a cure it will be found here at St.Jude. We were admitted in the hospital last night to start the I.C.E we should be getting out Friday. Please keep Noah in your prayers.

Tuesday, December 28, 2004 10:04 PM CST

Hello everyone, hope you had a Merry Christmas. Sorry it took so long to update Noahs progress, but its been very stressful the past couple of weeks. Noah is doing great he is still smiling, kicking, laughing, and playing with his toys. Well the day has come for the MRI and it turn out to be bad news. The doctors told us it looked bad, it had grown almost as big as a dime on his brain stem and had also spread to the front of his brain. They decided to take him off the chemotherapy because it really wont help with anything. All we could do is give him pain killers for the up coming headaches and vomitting. It is so hard to go through this kind of stuff, knowing our baby is no longer going to be with us in this life time. It hurts so bad I could hardly breath when I think about it. How will Noah look when he is in his teen years, or how will he look when he is running around sayin Daddy I love you. I know God works in ways we cant understand and that this stuff is all in his hands, but I get angry sometimes because I follow the Bible everyday and pray for my son every second. Why? Why wouldnt God spare his life so he could stay with us here at home? Then out of nowhere God calms me and says " Ray, My son this is not your home." The Bible says "For we were born but yesterday....Our days on earth are as transient as a shadow." There is a better place for us to call home, and we get to live with a King who is our father and who loves us more than words can say. I will never give up on Noah, maybe God will show his Glory through Noah by healing him with no medicine at all. I know one thing, God is great. he knew us even before we were born, he knows what to put in our lives and what to take out of our lives for the best. So all I ask is for Gods will to be done here on earth, if God wants Noah to stay I will do everything I can to raise him into a servant for Christ, if God decides he wants Noah in heaven then I will do everything God wants me to do so I could be reunited with him. please pray for Noah

Wednesday, December 22, 2004 9:04 AM CST

We will keep this faith no matter what the doctors say. We will be leaving the hospital in a few minutes and have a nice dinner as a family. Thank you all for your prayers, God has answered. God bless you all.

Sunday, December 5, 2004 9:46 PM CST

God has been touching our lives so much this past week I just have to thank him every second. Thank you for your prayers, thats all we need right now. I know God is going to do something great for Noah. Thank you and God Bless you all.

Thursday, December 2, 2004 9:07 PM CST

Hello everyone, Noah is doing well today, he has started the chemotherapy by mouth this morning. The doctors said it will be less intense on his health, and wont give the tumor a chance to get used to the chemo. Noah did really well with it, he is in the best shape that we seen him since we moved to Memphis. He is smiling, laughing, and starting to sit up by him self. We want to thank you for all your prayers and support. God really is answering prayers. Please continue to pray, not only for Noah, but for all the children here at St.Jude. Thank you all. Happy holidays and may God bless you in everyway possible. Ray & Jenny
