Bye Bye Medication

Our little epilepsy warrior has been fighting for over one year now on this crazy, yet amazing, diet. Now, 1,700 meals and 850 snacks later he is completely medication free! God has worked an incredible miracle in Noah's life and has given him his spark in life back. I have lost count how many medications Noah has been on and tried and only one of those worked for one kind of seizure. Never did I dream a year ago that he would be seizure free as well as medication free. We continue to praise God daily and pray that this is the end to Noah's epilepsy.
Noah will continue on his diet for another 1-2 years (praying that we can wean him off next summer) if all continues to go well. Although he still struggles with his diet he is being so strong and brave! Noah is learning some amazing self-control at a very early age. He will be one amazing, disciplined man someday. I am so excited to watch him grow and see how God uses this time in his life to mature him and grow him closer to God.
Noah is going to Crosspoint School for 1st grade this year and he is super excited. It will be hard to have him gone for so long each day but I am very excited to see him grow, learn, and meet new friends. He is our little sponge and wants to learn everything he can, especially if it happens to be about dinosaurs.

The boys were ringbearers for a close friends wedding.

We eat in the dining hall every day at camp and each meal the boys dress up in a new costume. They were FBI agents here.

Silly reading time with brothers.

Not too muddy. He seems to find a way to stay clean.

God was having an especially good day when he created Noah. Noah seems to understand and accept the struggles he has even though many times it is really hard.He is soooo brave! I love his excitement for learning and sharing with others what he has learned. God has taught me a lot about Himself through Noah's struggles. "In Him we move and breath and have our being"!
Your awesome Noah goboa! My heart is connected to yours forever! I love more than words can say!
