Thinking of sweet precious Noah and trusting God to keep His loving protective healing hands on him. May the Lord bless Noah and be gracious to him and to you as He give great wisdom and skills to all the medical staff.

LOVE you guys!

YAY for a guestbook!! I have been checking for an update all morning. I am praying that you all get the best news possible today. I know that God has a plan for Noah, and I can't wait to see His perfect plan at work. Thank you both so much for being so open about your journey, and so inspiring with your faith!

Love,
Jawana

You are in my prayers every day - for healing for little Noah, for strength for you both, and for the wisdom of the doctors.

Many prayers going up for Noah and his mommy and daddy!

Your faith is definitely an encouragement!!

Love you!

Hey cousins! I just wanted yall to know that i have been praying since day one for noah and im so happy he is recovering so fast. God bless everyone!!!!! Love and miss yall

So glad you guys have a guestbook! I have been reading Noah's site and we have been praying for him! Just wanted you to know you are all in our prayers!

Good morning -- I was reading something from EWomen devotionals today and this was on there: God’s dream is that you would know how much He loves you and that Jesus is praying for you right now! “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble” (Psalms 46:1). He is always there… always praying… always interceding on your behalf. Be encouraged today… you are loved and prayed for! I know that you already know that but I thought it may help out a little today!!
God Bless ..

You don't know me but I go to Florence First Assembly of God. We're all praying for your family and looking forward to a good report!

Blessings,

I am in awe of your testimony throughout this ordeal. Your faith is inspiring. While one may never know why God chose your family for this trial, we do know He does nothing in vain.And I pray that whatever His purpose was in this has been accomplished and that He restores Noah's health quickly.

God bless you all.

Your story was on a friend's Facebook page. I just clicked on to find out what was wrong with Noah. Boy, have I been blessed. I can't wait to get home in the evening to see what God's doing in your lives. You guys are such an inspiration. I'm praying that God heals your precious son completely.

May you be blessed as you have blessed others.
Thanks for sharing.

We are praying for God to heal Noah completely and that you all will have comfort, peace, and strength. You have SO many people behind you and supporting you! It is so uplifting to read the blogs and pass on your story to others. I believe that Noah's story has brought hope to many, and he will continue to do so with his healing.

I'm sending lots of prayers up for Noah and his speedy recovery. I've been following your journey since I received the e-mail request for prayers at the beginning. You and your family & faith are a real inspiration to the rest of us. God Bless you all -
Maria

We as a family, church body and all touched by Noah's situation, will continue to lift all of you up in prayer. I am positive that Noah will continue to be healed. God is awesome!!
If ya'll need anything, let me know.
Mac, Helen and Saane

We just wanted to you all know that we are praying for Noah and you guys. Also lifting up all the medical team and staff as they prepare everyday to meet Noah's needs along with all the children and the families that are in the hospital. God has Noah in his hands and God is the God of all healing. Your faith as been such an inspiration to us. We love you all.

Just read your update about the pathology report...I'm at a loss for words to describe the sadness in my heart that your family still has so far to travel down this road...I'm still trusting and believing God with you for healing and restoration. Everything is to His glory. I had a thought last night as I laid my head down and waited for sleep to come: Since Heath was just some months old I have been speaking that he is going to be a man of God and a Christian musician. Wouldn't it be awesome if our two boys, together, shouted about God's goodness and faithfulness to them ? I would love to see that day!
We love you,
Dustin, Jeannie & Heath

Still praying for Noah's healing. We know more miracles are to come. Love you guys!!

We have been following your blog since we found out and are praying for Noah and his complete healing. We will continue to pray for you to have peace, wisdom and strength in the days ahead. God has great plans for Noah!
"For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope."

I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for Noah and for both of you. God's peace and grace to you.

I will be praying for Noah and you for the days ahead. My name is Kay and I work at UAB, one block from Children's Hospital. My friend and I are the ones that had prepared the care basket for you and then missed you by a couple of hours. Per your request, I did take the basket to the PICU and leave for the other families in honor of Noah. If you need anything while you are in Birmingham, don't hesitate to contact me. If you contact me via email, I will give you phone numbers. Again, my prayers are with you. God Bless You.

Hey John David, I saw Noah's story on News 19 last night and my heart goes out to you and your family. I know you are a strong man of God and that strength will carry ya'll through this very difficult time. I also know God will continue to bless Noah's health. Just lay him in God's arms and He will take care of everything. I Praise God for what he has already done! I will keep Noah, you and your wife in my prayers. If there is anything at all I can do for ya'll please do not hesitate to call or email me. My cell phone number is 256-423-5483. Love in Christ

To: The Weebly Family
You were at our Fishefesy in Fayetteville a year or so ago. Gay brought you to our prayers a few weeks ago. Praying for everything that you are mentioning andfor the things that we don't know what to pray for. I alsways find peace in Romans 8:26 that when we don't know God knows. I will pray for you as I know so many. Praying travel mercy and encouraging news for your family today. In Christs love Donna

Just wanted to say that ya'll are in my prayers. I thank God as I picture little Noah in the high chair eating pringles and laughing at his dad. I thank God b/c I remembered you had stated that he wasn't laughing like he used to...and you got to see him do that again. I know the road ahead seems really long and hard but God WILL help you get through it! And it just touches my heart that little Noah is a fighter and putting what he has already been through in the past so that just gives up hope that he can do it again and he will....once again...PLEASE anything you need...just let us know...

Hi John & Jessica-
We are continuing to pray for you both and Noah at BMI an Believers World Outreach Church. We admire your obvious faith and trust in God- and yes your whole family is a testimony.
Pastor Tommy & Mrs. Rachel were wondering if we may have a picture of Noah and your family to put before our staff and church body. You can email it to me or I can take one off of your blog? Let me know!
You inspire me personally with your strength and wisdom! Lupe & I continue to stand with you!

Blessings to each of you in the name of the Master Healer and Physician!

Mary Wagner shared your story with me when we were in India. So, I wanted to stop by and let you know that I have been praying for Noah. I will continue to do so for as long as each of you are battling through this storm.

May you find comfort in knowing He knows the plans He has for each of you.

Cathy

Jessica and family,

I e-mailed you last week but wanted you to know we are still praying hard for you guys. Hope Noah is continuing to heal quickly and that you guys are resting well at home. May God give you His strength and peace as you care for Noah. He has big plans for Noah and your family. God bless you guys!
Amanda Hobbs (Johanna's sister)

Hey John and Jessica,
We are still praying for you guys and little Noah. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Take care of yourselves and each other as you take care of him. Let us know if there is anything else we can do for you. I am praying for a wonderful Christmas for you - hope you can rest in Him.
Love ya, Doug and Julia

Jessica & John David, Today's news is not what we expected to hear, but WE WON"T STOP storming the gates of heaven for your family. May God bless you and give you the courage and strength to perservere, Shelly & Randy Miller

I am sorry and all of my prayers are with you! Hope all ends on a good note.!

John David, Jess, Noah,

Our family has been following your story very closely. Thank you so much for being so open and honest throughout this entire ordeal. I truly believe your faith (all of our faith together) will move this "mountain". We love you guys and continue to keep you in our prayers.
Jen, Chris, Matthew & Kyra Nuss

I have been praying for little Noah from day one when I saw you had taken him to the hospital. John don't forget you still have your old church North Wood Methodist praying for Noah and the whole family. God Bless You All.

We, our whole family, have been on our knees lifting all of you up. We will continue to do so. God is in the miracle business. We have two miracles in our own family. Over 10 years ago they gave Les 3 months to 18 months. Then they told us there are 5% who live five years. Laci Grace is truly a gift from God. Only He could have sent her to us. I believe in the miracles only God can bless us with. I have been humbled by His grace. We are praying for a miracle healing for Noah. God bless the t hree of you as well as the rest of your family.
Love Sandy Parish

Noah of the Bible was a righteous man. He found favor in God’s eyes. He was given a difficult assignment, but he weathered the storm – difficult as it was. It was a year later when the storm subsided and Noah and his family stepped on firm ground once again. They built an altar and worshipped God!
God has given your Noah, a righteous little guy, a big assignment too. The storm he is going through is also difficult and could last weeks, months or a year, but God is the same today as He was in “old” Noah’s day. His perfect plan is being revealved each day. I pray that He will sustain you as you weather the storm ahead, worshipping the Lord as you go. Thank you for sharing your faith journey with us and I pray that God will use this storm in your lives to draw people to Himself.
Praying and watching for Noah’s rainbow!
Love,
Mary

John,Jess and Noah,
There are no words to say to you what your faith and strength has ment to the countless of people through your storms. I pray every day for your strengh and peace. I pray for the laughter that your little guy has to sooth your hearts. I love Mary Wagners statement about the old Noah and cant wait to see the rainbow at the end of the storm ! Our prayers will always be with all of you for the healing of your little angel. Big love to all of you:)
Julie Shelton

We are standing with you guys in complete healing over Noah. It would be great to find out what causes brain tumors....a question that we ask ourselves everyday! The words brain tumor and cancer are the nastiest words on earth! Continue your faith in God and HE will carry you through every step that you will take!

God is so good, and His timing is perfect!

Hey John David, Jessica, and Noah!
You have just been assigned to me as my "adopted family" from COLES Foundation!! YAY!
If there is anything that you need, please feel free to let me know. I am friends with John David on Facebook, so you can contact me through there, and I can also give you other contact info if you need it. Of course, I have been praying for all of you all along, and I will continue to do that. My prayer today is for a restful night tonight in preparation for tomorrows surgery. I pray that the doctors and nurses and anyone else who comes into Noah's path will do everything they can to make him comfortable and KEEP HIM SAFE!

J.D. ,
I am prayinn for your family,and especially Noah. Jess said it besst "God has our son in his hands",she is exactly right. God has this under control,but that doesn't make it easy on yall. I am so sorry that yall are havin to go through this,I love you dawg!!!

A fellow teacher led me to your blog and I just wanted to let you know that here in Arkansas the Ozark Mtn School District is praying for you. Ever since I visited your blog and heard about Noah, I have been praying and will continue to do so. As a new mom, your family is an inspiration and you continue to remind me to always rely on God. Thanks for the updates and we will continue to lift your son up!!!

Just wanted you to know that prayers are being sent for Noah and your family from our family in Costa Rica.

Just a quick hello to say I am still faithfully following your situation and am praying for you guys. John, I guess you remember me from TBI...I know, it's been forever...but you guys have blessed me tremendously and you are on my heart a lot! So, be encouraged!

I just wanted to let you all know that I have been thinking about your struggle quite a bit lately. Your story is a real testament to the strength of a loving family (both immediate, extended and that which you have in your friends). My thoughts are with you, as is my compassion and all of my most fond wishes. I have a lot of hope for your little guy :-) Take care.

You are all in my thoughts and my prayers. Even though Noah's situation is overwhelming, it is also a situation of great opportunity. You have been able to reach so many in a short amount of time. Your strength and faith are such an example to all of us who check your blog. No doubt there are many who will accept Christ through your testamony. If you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to call on me.

Hello Crowe Family - We love you all so much and want you to know that we are praying for you. Please let us know if we can do any thing for you while you are away. We will be glad to get your mail again and feed the kitty. I know that God is faithful and have been through chemo myself. I also know that it cannot compare to having your child go through it. We are covering you and your family. God bless and keep you all. I know that He will!!! With Love and prayers - Richard, Denell, Blake and Cody Psalm 118:17

I am a friend of Keith and Ellen Davis and have prayed for Noah since the beginning and also for you. Thank you for your great example of following Jesus in all situations. It cannot be easy. My husband and I attended Friendship the Sunday Keith played drums. It was a great service and Jesus was very evident in Worship. My prayers continue daily for all of you.

John David and Jessica & Noah,our prayers have been with you from the start and continue with you daily.----------------------------------------------------------------------------

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Jessica & John,
I love reading your "daily journal" as Jessica put it this morning. You are so encouraging to me and I don't even have anything going on in my life compared to you guys. You are such an inspiration and so encouraging in your steady faith. You have been tested during this trying time in your lives but you have never strayed. That is amazing. Noah is so blessed to have you guys as parents! I think about you all so much and check your blog daily. I love reading your always honest thoughts. I really love reading all the positive progress Noah has made and pray that he will continue to make positive progress every day. Constantly thinking about you guys and hoping and praying for the very best!

Praying for Noah this morning!!!

A hug and prayer for you , your son, your husband and family. Courage, Strength and Wisdom to the doctors and nurses taking care of your precious child. May you all have the Best Christmas together ever!!! God is Good!!!!!

Just wanted you to know that we're thinking of you daily, especially today with the surgery(ies) and praying it all goes as planned.

Love you all!

I have been praying for you, our ladies Wednesday night bible study at Old Brashiers Chapel in Arab have been praying for Noah and you. I am so glad to see that you lean on God, situations like this can turn people away from God, your strength is a good model for Christian Faith. God Bless you.

Just wanted you to know that we are praying for Noah everyday. We talk about him with Aubree, our daughter who is 5. Aubree knows who you both are from church and asks about Noah just about everyday. She came home from school today and told me that during naptime she tried to be very quiet so her teacher couldn't hear her while she prayed for Noah (apparently she prayed out loud) . What I thought was pretty amazing was that her naptime was approximately the same time Noah was going in for surgery. Neither David or I told her anything about Noah's procedures today. I have no doubt that it was GOD that put it in her heart to pray for Noah at that specific time today. Just wanted you to know...you are an inspiration to all who know you and many who don't. Thank you for keeping us updated on your sweet baby. We love you!!

Jessica, John David, and Noah,

You may remember me, John David, as the one from Springhill, Louisiana, who grew up with a father who followed John David Crow's football career. Richard and I want all of you to know that we pray for you daily. It's amazing when you think of your story about how Noah got his name--and how God told you that Noah would be a godly person and an amazing influence on many people. How true is God's word? Noah's life has already touched, encouraged, and influenced many. For one who struggles with her faith from time to time, the magnitude of yours has greatly reconnected me to my own--reminding me daily that God loves me the same way I love my own children.

May God continue to bless you all.

So grateful that Noah came through without a graft! Sorry about the kitty....I didn't even know FIV existed so I've learned something! You all remain in my prayers and thoughts.

Praying Psalm 4:8 for you today!

Leslie

I eagerly check this site everyday to see how Noah is doing...I have a 19-month-old son named Jack and can't fathom what you're going through but it makes my prayers for you that much more fervent! God bless you and I feel much love for your little one and your family.

Okay, in the previous post, I meant to say Noah's story, not student. Sorry!!

Praise God no skin graft!!! I sent you guys an Email last week and I have been specifically praying that Noah would have to go through more pain associated with the burn. I prayed that his skin would grow back on its own!!! I am sorry to hear about your kitty Jones.
They enemy is trying hard, but we are victorious, more than conquerers!! I pray that the Lord shows you his goodness every day!
Travis and Anne' campbell

May God give you strength to make all the difficult decisions that are upon you, and may he give you peace that passeth all understanding. You encourage me with your faith! God bless you all! Love & hugs, Vicki

What a testimony the two of you are!! As I read your story, your love, hope , and trust in the Lord is so evident . Your heart is in every word you speak to us through this blog. Your little Noah has a wonderful gift in you, Your strenght is amazing. But then again your source of strenght is absolutely yours and my Amazing Grace!!! Love and prayers from Hawaii.

Just wanted to let you guys know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear John, Jessica, and especially Noah,
We are friends of Jack and Kerry Haire in Livingston, Texas. The way you have the site set up has become such a personal affect to Kim and me. There is not a day that goes by that I'm not getting home from work only to get right to the computer to see how Noah is doing. We pray for him and you two frequently. Please know you have so many brothers and sisters in Christ praying for precious Noah. When watching the film with Noah sliding I'd go back and forth between tears and laughter. He's got more energy than I do on a good day. Our prayers and thoughts are continuously with you. In Christ's Love, Jim and Kim

Hi guys!
Just wanted to let you know that we are still praying for you all.

Just want to say that we are praying for ya'll. Hope Noah is having a good day today.

Just wanted you to know your family has been and will be in our prayers at home and at Northwood impact 101 Sunday school family.

John and Jessica, I just wanted to let you know that my family has been praying for your son since I received the request from a friend Lisa who lives in your area, her husband is a pharmist there. I know a little of the helplessness you feel, my son has nuerological damage from childhood vaccines. I know the anger you felt when your son was harmed while in the care of professionals, I thought vaccines were needed to protect my son, now I live with the damage everyday. But through all the doubts, fears, tears, what if's, wondering, and asking why, I came to realize, no matter what God is there. God is a healer, a deliverer, a conforter, a sustainer, a peace maker. I do not know what the futuer holds for your son but I know who holds the future. I hold my little boy's hand and we pray together for your son. My son is just now at the age of 7 learning to talk. Dr said "love him until you have to institutionalize him" "he can't be fixed" he is now on the road to recovery, all becuase God answers prayers. Therapies, GFCF diet, natural herbs, and vitamans, minerals, these things God lead me to are recovering my son.
I have clung to the words of a son that the Crabb Family sings through "the past 6 yrs. "He never promised that the cross would not get heavy, and the hills would not be hard to climb, he never offered victory with out fighting , but he said help would always come in time.

Please watch this video of Jason Crabb singing Thru the Fire.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igNtnMkrAPg

Please know that we are praying for your son, he is so precious,.
In Christ Love
Cheryl

Crowe Family,
I know you go to Bham tomorrow, so I will be praying for safe travels and that ALL GOES WELL while you are there. I pray that Noah's arm is healing just as it should be!

We are praying for Noah and your family!

Hi--I'm Tim Stout's birth mother and pastor of the Peterboro and Perryville UMCs. You have been on our prayer list from the beginning of your journey. I'm glad to hear that things are going well. We will continue to pray until we hear that Noah is cured. God bless your whole family. Martie

Checking the site has become part of our daily routine. Thank you for keeping everyone posted. Although we have never met, I check on Noah every morning when I turn on the computer! We pray hard for you every day. Lots of love & prayers!

Little Noah, I am encouraged by your strength of will! You have many prayers being lifted up in your behalf. I think of many bible verses at a time like this such as ...
Mark 10:14 Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.

and

Mt 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

May God bless you with an easy time!

Leaving you a hello and letting you know that you are in my prayers daily. I am praying for Noah's body to be cancer free and that he will withstand the side effects of the treatment. Praying for the Doctors to receive wisdom in treating Noah.

Blessing to your family

We are continuing to pray for you all including your extended family. We are so sad that you are faced with this illness. God is everpresent and we faithfully look to Him and not onto our own understanding for the answers. God has a plan for Noah's life, and we thank Him for this child.

All our love...you brother and sister in Christ Jesus.

Thanks for keeping us updated. I check this every morning - people who know me know I don't get on the computer so this is extraordinarily special! Randy & I are keeping you in our prayers. We are excited to be coming up to Birmingham today and are planning to be in Athens for church Sunday. We are looking forward to seeing you and all our extended family.

Thank you for keeping everyone posted. Although we have never met, I check on Noah every morning when I turn on the computer. We pray hard for you every day. I know that this is very hard ;I had a brian tumor Oct ,2008 the cancer was gbm. the mri's have all come back no cancer seen.Praise GOD. There are alot of folks at Old Brashiers Chapel that have you in their prayers

John and Jess,

Our family is and has been praying for you. After reading your last post about the upcoming chemo and prayers for "not so usual" effect from it, I remembered a friend of mine who had several treatments of chemo and she was also using homeopathic remedies from a local specialist in Florence. She was hardly sick and she didn't lose any of her hair. The doctors couldn't figure it out. Don't know if you can use this information but wanted to pass it along anyway. God bless.

Just wanted to wish your family a relaxed,wonderful Merry Christmas! God IS good,and watching over you and Noah!

My name is Breanna and I am 14 years old and I just wanted you to know that we have Noah on our prayer list at my church. The first time I read Noah's story at school, I cried. Why you ask... Noah is just to little to go through that type of stuff. Then, my gma read it and she cried. Noah seems like a sweet little angel! You know that whole tumor happened for a reason because he is a child of God.. and he controlls how sick we are or how healthy. Anyways, Noah I hope you get better buddy. I just hope you get better.

Dear John and Jessica:
Deborah Taylor, our sister in Christ, told us about your son, Noah and we were deeply touched as we read his story. We have 4 sons and we know the helpless feeling of wanting to do something when one of them are ill. We can only imagine how difficult this is for you, your family, and church family. And, since praying is doing something, we want you to know that we're praying for you all.

"O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me." -Psalm 30:2

We're crying out to God and praying for a miracle! We're praying and believing that God will heal Noah from the top of his sweet head to the soles of his feet. The name "Noah" is a Hebrew name and it means "rest; comfort". We're praying that God will use his life/story to bring healing, restoration, rest, comfort, and new life to many.

Genesis 18:14 raises this critical question: "Is anything too hard for the LORD?" and Jesus answers it in Mark 10:27 "But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

Yes, Father God is able and willing to do the seemingly impossible! Be encouraged in this and know that Jesus is with you every step of the way - he is the Light in and at the end of every "tunnel" we go through in life. Keep worshipping the King, Christ Jesus - keep believing! You are NOT alone!!

With much Love and Compassion,

Camino & Carmen

Two steps forward and one step back. I'm thinking that's how you must feel w/ this newest "unusual occurance." Please keep "us" posted on the news from HH and the CT scan radiation report. I will pray that this will not delay starting Noah's treatments. Just remember even w/ two steps forward and one step back you are still one step ahead. God is good! I hope you guys have The Best Christmas Ever and we all continue to pray for you guys and hope for the very best!

Crowe Family,
You don't know me (although I believe I was acquainted with Jessica many years ago when I lived in AL), but I have one of Noah's bracelets and have been praying for him and your family. My Dad has been battling stage IV GBM brain cancer since September (his Caring Bridge page is linked above). As hard as this has been for my family, I cannot begin to imagine how difficult it must be to watch your young son battle brain cancer. I praise God that you have been able to stay strong, lean on Him, and give Him the glory even on the bad days. How inspiring to those of us who struggle to do that even on the good days! Thank you for your words of faith you post each day. As I think of my Dad and his type of cancer, I'm overwhelmed if I focus on statistics. I'm still counting on my Dad sticking around awhile, but I've realized that no matter how many days I may or may not have with him before he goes home to Jesus, each day he's alive is a gift. I was never promised any particular number of days with him in the first place, so all his diagnosis has really done is make me realize I need to treasure each and every day I have with my loved ones. I pray you will continue to stay strong and take life one day at a time.

My sister had a great idea to make my Dad a paper chain, with a link for each day of his radiation treatment. On one side was a Bible verse, and on the other side was a fun memory of something we did with my Dad or something he taught us. Each day he would cut a link to read, and the chain would get shorter and shorter as he neared the end of his treatments. You might try something similar with Noah, once he begins his treatment plan. Maybe purchase an Advent calendar on clearance and fill it with small toys or pieces of candy, or cut paper chain strips from a giant poster and mix them up (number them first, to keep track of where they go) so that each day he tapes one to an outline on the wall and won't have the full picture until the end (which could also be the basis of a good Bible lesson)... Anyway, I just wanted to pass the idea along to help you bring a little fun into it and help mark his progress.

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and that 2010 will be filled with many happy events!

Hi,

I am sorry that Noah may have gotten too much radiation. That is scary. I will pray that he did not.

Have a very blessed CHRISTmas!!!

We are still praying for Noah and your family! I'm so sorry about the possibilty that Noah may have received too much radiation at HH. I am praying that is not the case. I also thought that I would let you know that my 2 year old, Luke, began losing a large patch of hair on the back right side of his head a few months ago. He had been undergoing MRI scans and an EEG for a blinking tic he had developed right around his second birthday. I was so afraid that the hair loss may have been attributed to the MRI he had received, but I finally realized that he was pulling his hair out at night due to the stress of the procedures. I watched him in his sleep pull at his hair in the exact spot it was coming out. I guess I am hoping that this is the case for little Noah as well. I am praying that it is not a result of the radiation.

We pray daily for you. Merry Christmas to all. Let us know how we may help.
In Him,
Jim

Hi Crowe Family,

I just wanted to let you know that my heart goes out to you all. My family and I are praying for Noah and for you both as well. That Precious Baby Boy of yours is In God's hands and he will take care of him. I don't know or even at times understand why thing's like this happen, but I do know that when they do it makes the thing's in life that we take for granted and think are so small and tend to look over so much more appreciated. Noah's story has opened my eyes, and for that I thank God. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and I wish you all the best for 2010. Always continuing to pray for you all.......

Victoria Sammet

I am so happy to hear that you guys had a wonderful Christmas, and that Noah is recovering faster than expected. GOD IS GREAT!! I will continue to ask God to protect Noah during the MRI and the first chemo treatment. I have also been praying for peace and comfort for both of you. May God continue to work in Noah to rid his body of cancer. Sending lots of love and prayers to you all!

Thank the lord above for that sweet angel you have.. he is just precious.... so glad he is doing better.. good luck and God Bless yall......Florence,AL

I saw this verse today and thought of you.

"When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid." Psalms 56:3-4

Our thoughts and prayers remain with Noah...I am amazed at how many lives your little boy has touched...God is continuing to use him.
You are such a blessed family.
God bless you all
Hugs
Janet and family

God led me to your website today through a friend of mine's facebook page. It is amazing to see how God works! Noah has been through so much, yet your faith in God is incredible. You two are very inspirational to me. God has used you to show God's love to others through what you are going through. Your story is hard to read, but it's amazing to see how God is using you to be instruments for him. I pray that God will continue to be the ultimate healer of Noah's life. God is in control of every day in every way.

John David,Jessica and precious Noah,we are praying for you.

John David, Jessica, and Noah. My heart and prayers are with you all. You already know that your strength is in the Lord. Lean on Him. Thank you for the updates and how open and honest you are about your journey. This journey is such a testimony of God's grace, mercy, redemptiion, and strength, and that it is indeed possible for all of His children to actively access these things from Him.

Love in Christ, Pat

Hey!!! Thankful that one treatment is almost over! Just know that it will pass quickly and one day this will only be a faint remembrance. I thought there never would be a day that I wouldn't remember my cancer and chemo, but now there are many days that I don't even think about it.. God not only will heal the body, but the mind...Take care....Praying for you and Noah! Hugs, Vicki

John and Jessica,
I am so sorry you all are having to go through this. It is so hard to watch our children go through things and the feeling of helplessness to us as parents can be so hard. We are praying for little Noah and that God will heal his body but we are also praying for both of you, that God will continue to give you the strength that you need. Our God is awesome! We love you guys so much.

Dear Christians, I am still praying for you daily. I pray that God will heal this tumor in Noah and take it away forever. I am so glad to see you love that baby so much. We are praying God's richest blessings on your family!

We are keeping you all in our prayers. I heard a song from the sidewalk prophets called, The words I would say. It says everything and more. May God watch over you and keep you wrapped in his embrass!

Love and Blessing,

Penny

Please know that Noah and your family has been in my prayers ever since Mary Swisher brought your situation to my attention...

Christ is walking with you!

Hey guys. I'm still checking on and praying for you all and Noah's treatment. Love you guys!

Hey guys. We love you and continue to have you in our thoughts.
In Him,
Keith and Ellen

I am praying for you all daily. I saw this verse today and immediately thought of you. I was touched by the post about signing the papers for Noah's treatment and the guilt you are feeling. You are doing what is right for him, because you are listening to God's word and direction in your situation. That is all we can do as God's children, listen and obey. He will direct you in the path as "surrogate" parents to Noah on earth. He is ultimately Noah's Father and will not leave his side. Stop what you are doing right now...You can feel Him, I know you can!

Proverbs 3:5. “Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind, and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. But, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.”

God's Love to you Crowe Family!

Amy Byrket

Everyday I check this blog to see how Noah is doing! My family and I pray for him everyday! GOD is SOO Good! I am so glad that he is doing well with the chemo. I pray for the angels of the Lord to be camped around him and keeping him safe! I also pray for John and Jess. I pray that GOD renews your strength with HIs. I pray for peace to settle your hearts! God Bless!

Praise the Lord! How awesome is He. We are so glad to see the update from 01-08-2010. Our sons, Jeremiah (6 years old) and Caleb (4 years old), take their turn everyother night to pray when we put them to bed each night. Out of no where about a month ago Jeremiah included healing for Noah, on his own, and very seriously, I might add. Needless to say I got pretty choked up. Now Caleb does the same. Jack and Kerry Haire are friends of ours and once reading about Noah on the prayer request list I come home and check first thing as my office computer service blocks me from gettin on. Anyway, Jeremiah realized something must be of interest to Dad since he was so persistent on something. Once I explained he has begun to ask rather frequently how Noah is doing. Please take care. We are praying earnestly for Noah and you as well as your parents, etc. In Christ's care and love, Jim, Kim, Jeremiah and Caleb

Hey Crowe Family!
Just wanted to tell you that I am praying that Noah's fever has went away and that you guys get to come home soon! The video of him is PRECIOUS! Praise God for what He is doing in Noah's life! :) Lots of Love and Prayers!!

I know you love Jesus. I hope you hear Jesus in what I have to say. If you child is eating lots of ice cream, (and I'm assuming it is store-bought from pasteurized milk, full of benzene and other nasty chemicals), it is probably hindering his healing. Sugar feeds cancer, sets the stage for it to flourish, Not to say it is the only thing involved, or even the worst thing about most ice cream, but it jumped out at me. Doctors mean well, but they've bought the lie that diet has a minor impact while drugs, radiation and surgery are the only ways to cure cancer. Drug companies fund medical schools. They won't teach natural cures if they can help it.

The thousands of people who made diet and lifestyle and alternative treatment choices that allowed their God-given body to do its God-given job of self-repair know that what I am saying to you today is true: healing follows when we remove the hindrances to healing and when we provide the right environment for healing.

I'm glad the doctors were able to stop the progress of this cancer quickly, as life-threatening as it was. But I encourage you not to put all your hope in them for healing. If they can't teach you how to help your body heal itself naturally, they can't help you address the underlying cause so it is less likely to return. Unfortunately, the many drugs they give and the radiation actually hinder the body's ability to fight cancer cells on its own in the future. That is why the war on cancer has been a dismal failure overall.

I'm not saying this to make you feel bad, nor to blame doctors.

I'm saying these things so you will actively become informed about other things you can do to offer Noah support that is in line with the way God designed the human body. There is no shortage of material on this topic. Two that come to mind..... "A Cancer Battle Plan" is excellent for a first read. Suzanne Somers latest, "Knockout" involves interviews with a whole bunch of doctors whose patients are successfully beating cancer using more body-friendly approaches. Supplements like Waiora's NCD can safely chelate toxic substances from the body - some of which may have caused abnormal cell division to start with, some of which are going to be residues from all the medications Noah has had. A simple substance called MMS safely targets only pathogens, leaving all healthy cells and friendly gut bacteria intact - if a virus was the trigger for the cancer, it can eradicate it - this may be why a number of MMS users are reporting dramatic improvements in cancer issues. IF Noah has heavy metals, he probably has fungus as well, also safely eradicated by MMS. Ingesting large numbers of greens will help mop up toxins while providing minerals AND creating a more alkaline environment so that cancer cell activity is squashed while cell walls work better at bringing in nutrition and removing wastes. Lactofermented vegetables like real sauerkraut (not made with vinegar) also enhance the body's ability to receive nutrition, control pathogens and is protective against radiation damage. My favorite former cancer patient used a whopping quart of kraut per day with a raw vegan diet and eliminated his prostate cancer completely. And he had gorgeous skin for a man in his 70's.

I'm barely scratching the surface of all the ways people have reversed cancers, safely. Some of the approaches used to seem fantastic to me until I learned more about them...then they made perfect sense. I pray that you can use this as a jumping off place as you seek to help Noah. May the Lord, who knows every hair on our heads, and knows how many days we have, help you find the best ideas for Noah's particular cancer situation, may He empower you to find some new ways to help your son to get better, feel better, and to fulfill the plans that God made for him to walk in.

God bless you all even more!

God heals!!!! I will be praying for this precious baby boy and your family!

We are praying for ya'll in Savannah,GA. !

dear JD & Jessica,
I hope Noah is doing better. We are keeping up with all of you and pray for strength for all of you. Jessica, I know it's hard to be locked up but I agree it does have it's advantages. Special times with Noah and JD. Please know that everyone is praying for all of you. You are such an inspiration to so many. Your faith shines for all to see. God loves all of you and so do we!!
Sandy & family

I have no idea who you are but I heard about Noah through a teacher friend in El Dorado when Noah's tumor was first found. I think and pray for him often. My husband and I have a 2 year old son and I can't imagine what you're going through. My husband was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma last March and it was so hard watching him do chemo and radiation, but I could not imagine our child going through it. Tuesday my husband was officially put in remission and I have thanked God every hour since. I will continue to check on Noah and continue to pray for him and for the both of you. His remission date will be here before you know it!!

I first heard about Noah on Facebook and have been following your little guys progress ever since. I will keep him and you in my prayers.

Just wanted to say that we are praying for ya'll!! It is so awesome to see how much faith you have!! You are such a great example for everyone and I thank God for that!!
Although you don't know us...if ya'll need anything .. anything AT all...please let us know!!
Lots of love

Hi John and Jessica,

I just wanted to let you know that we're praying for you and Noah. God bless you all.

We're still praying for you guys. I was glancing back through the guestbook and saw a couple of people express concern over the amount of ice cream Noah eats. I know diet is important, but when I first read your blogs about ice cream I had to smile because I was just glad that he was eating at all. I remember how hard it can be to get even a healthy toddler to eat, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn Noah's medications cause nausea or loss of appetite. I certainly believe these entries had something of value to say, but don't put TOO much stock in advice from well-meaning family, friends, acquaintances or strangers (like me). You know your son better than any of us. Instead of listening to us, listen to your heart so you can hear what God has to say (after all, He knows him even better than you do).

Take care and God bless!

hi!
i have been thinking about your family today as i often do. My 31/2 yr. old son Landon and I prayed for Noah today at naptime. I read the most recent blog from you. Noah sounds like a very happy and typical 2 yr. old! And yes There is A lot of frustration at that age!! LOL! I think maybe it is because they want to say and express so much, but it is sometimes that they just can't get it out right. I bet it seems like your 4 walls are starting to close in. I think all Mom's feel like that, especially in the winter time! This will pass and i know the Lord will restore this time to your family! I am excited for all the treatments to be over and you all to be able to enjoy a normal life! I think you are some of the strongest parents i have ever seen!! exchange your strength for HIS! 2Cor. 1:5 Says, he will lighten our load. psalm 34:7...
Thank You for keeping ALL of us updated. My prayers are with you. I will close and pray the Lord surrounds you with his perfect peace. God Bless you ALL

Jessica,

I'm so glad to hear your humanity come out. It comforts me to hear you talk about your frustrations. Just know that we all love you and hear and feel your pain. I don't know your journey, but I do know mine--and we all certainly have a journey. Pain is the great equalizer. No one holds another accountable for expressing their frustration except for the person who has not had pain. When they feel the pain, the frustrations will come and usually they are hard to handle. We all just need to know that we are all temporary here and that one day all will be made right because of Jesus.

God bless you both,
Keith

I saw this posted on FB the other day and thought of y'all. "Stop telling God how big your storm is. Instead, tell the storm how big your God is." I think that's what you guys are doing, every minute... every day. Keep it up. You're in our prayers.

Bass Wallace & Amy Camp

Hey Noah and Family!
I am so glad to see the update that things are going well this time! I am still praying for all of you every day! Jessica- Having a 17 mth old, I can relate to your "frustrations" but, because of Noah's (and so many others) story, I have to remind myself daily that he is a GIFT from God, and I am so thankful for every moment I have with him!! Hang in there, I am praying for you!!

Lots of Love and Prayers!!

Hi Jessica,

You hang in there Honey, we're praying for all of you and thinking of you daily during this tough journey. You and John are wonderful parents.

Just wanted to let you know that you and your family continue to be such an inspiration to mine. We think of you often and have Noah's page bookmarked on our tool bar, it's one of the first things I check every morning.

John, Jessica & Noah,

I do not know you nor do you know me. Someone posted your pancake bfast on our online bulletin board at work with a link to your site and so I have found you. My family has started praying for your family in our nightly prayers and truth be told I think of you randomly through the day, everyday and pray then as well. Please know God is using you, your life, and your blog to touch people. I read your blog this morning and was deeply touched. You see my son will be two in May. He was very sick last week so Saturday I slept on the couch with him to keep his head elivated. He rolled off in the middle night and hit his head so hard it immediatly swelled up and turned blue. I was horrified, this is horrible to me. Perspective is on Saturday your baby was sick and hit his head and my anguish was nothing in comparisson with yours. Please don't beat yourself up over Noah hitting is head. You are an incrediable mother who is so strong. Your light and love in Jesus is beautiful. Keep your head up. Be proud of how you have handled what the Lord has given you. He is so proud of your love for Him even when you were so scared and hurt. Again, we do not know you but we love you and your family and we are lifting you up daily! May God carry you daily as you shine his light for him.

Jessica and John - I check on and pray for Noah every day. He is blessed to have you as parents. Hang in there and know that we are thinking all good healing thoughts as we raise our arms in supplication to God for you and sweet Noah. Love, Cassandra (Mrs. Moore, AHS)

Praying for all of you! I hope you get to come home soon!
Lots of love and prayers!
