Hello Jessica and John
I am Jacin Humphrey's mother and just wanted to let you know that I have followed Noah's journey from beginning. I have prayed for him and lifted him up to our sweet Jesus and precious Lord and Savior and know that his will -- will be done. We always do not understand and are not suppose to but Jesus will always be walking beside us and will lNEVER leave us. I am anxiously awaiting your good news that Noah is and will be just fine.

Love
Brenda

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.

Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

I came across your blog through a mutual friend, Becca Davis. One of your final paragraphs, about not approving of the path God is leading you down, but trusting Him anyway really struck me. I think your outlook is so refreshing and it was something I really needed to hear. I recently had a miscarriage (and I do not at all pretend to know or understand your pain, only that I too, find myself angry at my circumstance at times) and through my anger often find myself turning that anger toward God. You really helped me to put things into perspective, remembering my commitment to Christ, as I have committed to my husband. Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your story with us. Prayers are being lifted up on your behalf all the way in Hawaii! Peace and blessings, Cristy

I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine. Thank you for sharing your sweet Noah with us and for being willing to share your journey. You said you felt led to name your son Noah and that he would be a great man of God. I believe that came to pass, your "little man" has touched many lives, mine included and has been such a blessing. Thank you for your witness and showing incredible faith through your darkest hours. God has used you as well as your precious son. I will continue to pray for your strength, comfort and peace that surpasses all understanding and that you feel your Saviors arms holding you. May the Lord bless you both.

I am praying God will surround you with His perfect peace right now in the name of Jesus. Lord, give them strength for each day ahead and help Noah's parents to feel held in your arms. Thank you for the sweet time Noah is having in your presence. Help his mommy to know you love him even more than she does, and you have fulfilled a beautiful purpose in his life. Keep her close to you as she walks out this journey. Help the whole family to be aware of your presence and your love. amen.

Hello Jessica & John,
I don't know you but I have friends who have posted your updates on Facebook, and I wanted to tell you I am praying for your sweet family today - for you to be surrounded by love, and filled with God's peace. Everyone's grief is so different, but I can empathize a little bit - my son Graham passed away two years ago (and today is actually his birthday). I know nothing that any of us say will take away even a little bit of your pain, but please know that you and Noah are loved. God bless you. It doesn't seem like it now, but one day there will be a good day, and eventually the good days will start to outnumber the bad. God's love and peace and comfort be with you all.

To the Crowe family,

I just wanted to express my sympathy at the homecoming of Noah. I went to church with yall in 2009, but moved just before his diagnoses. I have reade your blogs and have been so touched at your love and strength for Noah.

He is an amazing little man. And your writings.. telling about his journey have touched people that you dont even know. I had asked people in my friend circles, in Ohio, New York, California, Tennessee to pray for him and you both as parents.

I just wanted you to know that you are loved and prayed for. I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling.. I wish I could take it away.

You both a wonderful people. God bless you and hold you close.

Sorry Noah got a burn in a MRI. I am a MRI tech and felt I could shed some light on this matter. The fact that this blanket company voluntarily removed its labeling of MRI safe and MRI compatible is suspicious. Also it stated they really had no way to properly test the blanket because no guidelines existed. I would bet Noah was scanned in a 3T magnet. If I am right the blanket heated up over the course of Noah's scan and my guess Noah was sedated so no motion would be detected on the scan to tip off the tech of something is wrong. This burn can occur on adults as well when scanning if the bare arms are resting against magnet bore. Sponges are used between bore and patient and this burn is avoided. Some obese people can't fit when pads are used this is a dangerous situation that every tech faces daily. Not all facility's have the wide bore scanners. Our obese population is ever growing.

12/20/2016 08:06:32 pm

This happened to me in a 3T...I had my arms on my chest and the tech told me they'd get tired so that I should lower them to my sides but that put in with direct contact of my skin on my arms to the bore...I was surprised he didn't cover my arms with blanket or sheet...he just ran out (obviously concerned with the time factor or his schedule than checking on anything else). Afterward they told me since the sides were plastic it shouldn't happen but my arms were touch bore and the sides of the table as well which was not the same. When I yelled out for assistance explaining what was going on, feeling the escalating warmth, heat, burn, pain...the tech never answered me. They had told me they would display concerned for my comfort because they knew I was claustaphobic, I asked the tech if he could here me initially and he said yes, I asked him to speak to me frequently throughout the test to let me know how much time I'd have left for each sequence and entire test. He was the least vocal of any tech before that I had experienced. After another tech told me they can't hear me unless they open the speaker on their end each time...I never experienced that before. Also I was told not to squeeze the ball as it would disrupt and lengthen the test...so I thought calling out and telling him what was happening was enough. Finally he answered me ( I definitely had the feeling he must've left the booth, and abandoned my there) (after one of the longest I think 11 min sequence ended) telling me there is only 2 min left to test and he said it was "normal". I said I never felt this before, etc,. he only said there is 2 min left do I want to proceed, over and over.

Praying for your peace in the waiting, we all know everything is in God's time but as imperfect humans we still get anxious in the waiting. Praying for Noah to be pain free and to continue in his path of healing. You have a beautiful family! even with the "Weird" cuts, LOL

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 ..

Hey John David, Jessica, and precious Noah. I am so glad that God has provided Noah with a speedy recovery. I have followed this blog everyday since you began this website. I also shared it with my co workers here at the pain center and our founder Dr. Willis said he was honored to pray for Noah's well being and recovery. My church (First Baptist of Tanner) also sent up many prayers for Noah and your family. I am praying that God will show his magnificent power with Noah's pathology report. You both have instilled a strength in me for believing and having more faith in God than i have ever had. Thank you both for sharing Noah's story. God Bless :)

12/8/2009 05:46:32 am

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

I started following Noah's story as a result of a prayer request from a fellow church member. I have been drawn to it daily even though it has been difficult at times to read. You see our family had very similar experience in the 90's with my nephew. He was 18 months old when he had his first surgery to remove an ependamoma brain tumor at Children's Hospital.

Anyway, I have lifted all of you up in prayer daily. God bless you all. The path is long and hard. Take strength from God's promises and lean on each other.

I thank ya'll for the witness you are being and how you are allowing God to use you. I know this is not how you would choose for Him to do it, but sill you are being so faithful. Noah I'm praying for your complete healing. I love you and just can't wait to see what God has in store for your life. It is going to be awesome!! Love ya'll

We are ALL praying for your trio!! The kids pray for Noah at night and bring tears to my eyes as I listen! You three pop into my mind at odd times and I know that is the Holy Spirit, and the prayers begin again~ you all are being covered in prayer.......We once stood in a childrens hospital and were given mind numbing news.... we learned 1. the peace that passes all understanding is REAL 2. and to Banish all "what if?" thoughts!!!!!!

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.

Jessica - where to begin ... when Joyce first told me about Noah I started following your blog . To be totally honest it was really hard for me to understand why all this was happening at first. Everyday since that day I have seen in SO many ways just how God is using your beautiful family & that sweet sweet boy to touch the lives of soooo many. You guys will not know in this life all the ways God is using this to show off. Please know that we are praying for all of you , Meryt prays for Noah every night . God is faithful & he will see you through this unimaginably difficult time. Thank you for being so transparent and teaching us all so much about Praising God through the Storms.

One more thought before I go ... I don't know if you even remember this , but when we were in Brazil after one of the house visits , you and I were talking. During this particular visit you were not the one giving your testimony , so you were just sitting there , but you told me how you prayed and prayed that God would use you in some way. And that you kept praying "God use my eyes God ... show him through my eyes" . Afterwards the man prayed to ask Jesus into his heart and he told them that he could see the truth and the love of Christ through your eyes. I remember how blown away we all were ... but it's so true ... and a great reminder now in this difficult time ... that God can use anything , any circumstance , any situation to Glorify himself . And if we pray for something and believe it to be true and trust in his will that God will answer our prayers , just like he did that day .
You guys are doing that now everyday ... and with every interview , every picture , when people are looking , they can see the love of Christ in your eyes ... Thank you !

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.

It's so hard to know what to say at times like this. I can't even begin to imagine how you all are feeling with all of this going on. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. To quote a friend of mine who has been keeping up with Noah "he is truly God's own blessed child" and I know God will take care of him and you, too.

Much love from TN!

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 guys. You don't know me but I've stumbled across your story through shared friends. I think of you and pray for you often. For what it's worth, I taught my one-year old how to pray the other day. Her first prayer ever was for Noah, a little boy we'll never meet, and for his family, whose strength and wisdom we'll never forget.

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!

Hey Jessica, John and Noah,

We are praying for you guys every day. What a shining light of true faith in action you two are...what an awesome testimony Noah's is going to have. I am praying for you today Ephesians 1:15 -23

"....17-I keep asking the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom ad revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the HOPE to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incompaably great power for us who believe."

May you continue to walk in his wisdom and hope.

Dear John, Jessica & family,
I learned of your story through C.O.L.E.S. prayer team. I have been pouring over your website. Words cannot describe how awesome it is that God is a central point in your life. Too many times, God is blamed. But I believe God has a perfect will for each & everyone of us. I don't know you, I live in Illinois. But reading of your strength & dependence on God is awe inspiring. Through your own pain, you don't miss an opportunity to witness to people of the power of God. I am so sorry that you're going through this in your life & will keep your family in my thoughts & prayers. It's not for us to know what He has in store but that precious baby boy is part of God's plan, whatever the outcome.
God Bless

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.

John, Jessica, and Noah, Like everyone I'm still praying. Our whole family is. Britney has especially been doing so. Hardly a nightly prayer goes by that she doesn't pray for Noah. Thanks for your thoughts tonight. You are so right. Jesus can understand and empathize with all of us. I don't know why, but He does. I think of the blind man in John 9. The disciples said, "Who sinned, this man or his parents that he was born blind?" Jesus' answer was, "Not this man nor his parents, but he was born blind so that the Father could be glorified. That has already happened through you and Jessica.

I also want to thank Noah for his faith. Through all of this, he is most concerned with laughing and eating ice cream. I wished I had that kind of faith that through the bad times, I'd just be able to laugh and want more ice cream. Two passages come to mind, "Except you become like little children...." and "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, you have ordained strength. Thanks Noah, we are praying for you little buddy!!

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,

This afternoon I read your comments about " He Lives" and I wept along with you as I read the words...you and John David have so many crystal clear pools of shared tears from all of us that cry for and that care so much for you both and sweet Noah. I pray that a stregnth comes over you both that is indescribable except for saying, ' HE is with me" as you face the trials of tomorrow. Please kiss Noah in that speical spot for me.....

You and Jessica have inspired and blessed me. The night I read that the doctor had to go through good brain to get to the tumor I just bawled. It upset my 8 yr old grandson Asher so when he came over to hug me we decided to all pray for Noah. Your story has touched us all and helped us come together in faith as a family. I am inspired by your strength and faith. Remember that Jesus said that faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. It can also remove the mountain of a cancerous tumor. I have seen enough miracles in my own life to believe in the moving of mountains. May God bless Noah, John David, Jessica and Sonya and give you all courage and strength for the trials ahead.

So in these next months that take you in to places you never imagined, know that God has you wrapped in mercy and grace!! Your words of faith and expression of His grace on you all is such an awesome testimony! Know that there are angels amongst you and prayers are being sent daily...my 11 year old daughter asks me each morning, "How is Noah?" Her tender prayers are with you as well!

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.

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!

I just wanted to say all praise & glory to God for Noah & how well he is doing since his surgery. Also praise God because I know that Noah is completely healed by His blood. We don't know each other but Noah's story has really touched my heart & I have praying for Noah & the two of you for healing & strength. One of my favorite songs that always helps me when I am going through a hard time is "Praise You In The Storm" by Casting Crowns. I am sure you have heard it but it has really helped keep me focused on God no matter what I am going through & reminds me that He is always with me. Glory to God in all things!!!!!!! I will continue to keep you guys in my thoughts & prayers & continuing praising Him who is our healer, counselor, strength, comforter,.......God.
He is able!!!!!!!
Love, your sister in Christ,
Beth

Dear John David and Jessica,
Every time I read your blog, I struggle for words of comfort and encouragement and never seem to find them. I'm sure there are hundreds of others you haven't heard from that feel the same way. I, we, continue to pray for Noah's healing, and your comfort, joy, and peace.

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!!

I just wanted to let you know that I have been following y'alls journey everyday. My family and I are praying for you everyday. We worship a mighty, amazing God. I am in awe of your faith and your grace. I also wanted to share a song that was written for a little girl named Kate McRae who is going through something similar. It's called "Little Light," and it's amazing. Here is a link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92JevgM8RBw

And here are the lyrics. I hope they minister to you guys.

Look at all the angels watching you
They’re singing songs that we have never heard
Their voices ring like bells over the mountains
Oh, if only we could hear their words
God is near, little girl.

Your eyes are brilliant,deep sky blue.
Your quiet wisdom is an evening song.
The angels must be breathless at your beauty
Like the world catches its breath before the dawn.
God is near, little one.

And Jesus bends to hear you breathe;
His tender hands are holding you tonight.
His heart is ravished when you look at Him,
and oh, the endless mercy in His eyes;
God is here, little light.

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.

Hey you guys!
I am so glad to hear that Noah didn't have to have a skin graft! Praise God for the small miracles too! :)
I am so sorry about your cat! I am glad that the vet found out though, especially since Noah did not need to be around the cat.
Still praying every day for you all!

I know you don't know me but I have followed Noah's Story and I pray just about everyday for all of you. I am a mom and couldn't imagine having the strength you both have had through this all. My youngest just had gall bladder surgery and your strength has made his surgery seem so little.. May God keep shining his strength through you all and keep inspiring millions of people everyday... Lots of Love.

My name is Heather Tucker and I live in Decatur. I heard about Noah's student through a fellow teacher at Austin and I have been following your story. Please know without a doubt that God is using this whole situation to speak to others. It really makes us all consider our priorities more carefully. I know you wish you weren't the ones that He wanted to use to teach so many of us. I wish you weren't going through this as well. Although I don't understand why, I know that God must think you're pretty amazing to choose you to be his vessels in this way. He says that all things work together for good for those that love Him and are called according to His purpose. He never said that everthing that happened would BE good, but that it work together FOR good. He has big plans, and I believe He has awesome plans for Noah. I can't wait to hear your awesome testimonies one day about how God healed Noah and is using Him in mighty ways. I am praying for you daily and I hope that your journey will be one filled with lots of miracles and amazing God stories. In His Love, Heather Tucker

Hey Sweetie,
Just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers every day. I was at work, making Christmas goodies and began singing that stupid "Christmas, Christmas, Christmas" song that I made up while we were working on the square. I immediately thought of all the fun times we''ve had in various kitchens. I told April I needed to call you and sing to you. I didn't because I know how crazy things are, but just smile and sing "Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas..." and know that I love you and am keeping you and your family in my heart.

They enemy is trying hard, but we are victorious, more than conquerers!! I pray that the Lord shows you his goodness every day!

You got plenty of backup! We love ya!

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

An amazing testimony on a spell caster who brought my wife back to me.. My name is Micheal oilver i live in USA,and I`m happily married to a lovely and caring wife,with two kids A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my wife so terrible that she took the case to court for a divorce she said that she never wanted to stay with me again,and that she did not love me anymore So she packed out of my house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back,after much begging,but all to no avail and she confirmed it that she has made her decision,and she never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my wife So i explained every thing to her,so she told me that the only way i can get my wife back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for her too So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow her advice. Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she email(drjattosplltemple.com). So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address she gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my wife back the next day what an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who did not call me for the past seven {5}months,gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back. contact Doctor Jatto for help if you need help Via email drjattosplltemple@gmail.com

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.

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

Already God has worked miracles in Noah's life and I have no doubt those miracles will continue. That is not to say that this journey will not be filled with many challenges for your family but I know that along Jesus will be with you and with Noah through this difficult path.

You have no idea who I am, but I guess I couldnt help but be nosy when I saw you at therapy on Tuesday. I overheard you tell Robin the name of your website, so here I am. I just want to tell you that children are amazing individuals. They can overcome things that no adult could ever get through. My dtr was diagnosed with brain damage at 3 months old and I was told she would be blind, deaf, and never be able to do anything. Her MRI's to this day continue to tell that same story. But, by the power of prayer,faith, and knowing that God would heal my baby, she is now walking, trying to run, and is nothing that they said she would be. I pray for Noah, knowing that all will go well and that God will take care of him. Once again, children are amazing people and can rewire their little brains to be able to do anything they want to do. I will be praying without ceasing for your baby.

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!

I just watch the video "Gospel according to Noah" IT WAS AN AWESOME BLESSING. That short video said so much. First about being a parent and leading our kids done the path but more importantly about the Father to all of us, Our Father God and how even as parents ourselves we are still children of God and must allow him to lead and trust that he will direct our path. I praise God that I was blessed to find out about Noah. It is my great pleasure to be able to be a pray warrior for Noah and your family.

I do not know either of you but was forwarded your blog by a coworker. I have been following Noah's story and praying for you all ever since. You said in your Wednesday post that you pray Noah will point many to the “one true source of hope” and bring encouragement and hope to those searching for it. I wanted to let you know he pointed me. Thank you for sharing your little Noah with all of us. He is beautiful. I hope you all have a wonderful, magic filled Christmas.

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 tell you that I pray for your family daily. I know that the Lord will continue to strengthen you both as you take care of your little boy. I am really sorry about your cat,too. The name I have for my e-mail address is because I had a cat we named beer because he staggered so much when he was a kitten that my sons said he acted like he had drank beer. He died several years ago from feline leukemia and I just can't bring myself to change the name. Hope your family has a blessed day today,

I love you, and miss you and am encouraged by how hard you are fighting to keep the faith. God bless you and keep you and know that you are an encouragement as you keep you hearts and minds focused on him.

Merry Christmas,

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.

Just want to start out by saying how sorry I am that Noah has been through all of this pain. I am praying for a full recovery or at least God's intention of a full recovery

My brother was only eight years old when he was diagnosed with a tumor in the stem of his brain. Surgery was not an option but with chemo and radiation, the tumor went away. He is now thirty-three years old and even though he has permanent damage to his whole left side, he is still here. The tumoe has never came back. What a wonderful God we have.

Your family will forever be in my prayers.

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!

Hey Crowe Family!
So sorry to hear about the possibility of the CT scan mistake. I pray that God will watch over Noah and keep him safe during every hospital visit! Glad to see that you got to go enjoy Santa's Village. We took our daughter when she was younger, and we will take our son when he's a little older. I hope that you all have a very Merry CHRISTmas!

Lots of Love!

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!

Been following your beautiful son through a link on a CaringBridge site. I check on little Noah everyday. For the days to come, may Noah and you (the parents) have a fun and joyful celebration of Jesus' birth. Can't imagine the uncertainties in your world right now but two things are certain...your son is beautiful and we all celebrate Jesus' birth. Merry 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.

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.......

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.

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!

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

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!

1/14/2010 01:13:13 am

A lot of people are praying for Noah and for mom and dad!!! No matter what happens God will work through all of you, though I'm confident he's going to be just fine!

I wasn't expecting to see someone offer advice on diet and supplements but please - do be open to that.

Any doctor worth their salt will tell you sugar does feed cancer. There are safer substitutes like Stevia (we use it to make sweet tea and it's quite good, especially knowing there's far fewer calories going to my gut!) and other treats to keep Noah happy - all worth the looking for and price. God created our bodies with incredible abilities to heal - we just need to make the most of those opportunities.

Grace to you all in Christ!

Still praying for Noah and you and his extended family. I can imagine it must be very hard for all those who love your little boy and cannot spend time with him, even though they understand why.

Last week I was talking with my 3 1/2 year old niece. She asked me what I was doing and I told her I was reading about Noah. I told her that he was sick and we were asking God to heal him. She told me that her mommy read her about Noah and the big boat and the animals, etc. She asks me about baby Noah each time I talk with her now. Baby Noah is touching so many lives and is loved by more people than you will ever know.

Thank you for taking the time to update us on Noah and for letting us into your lives. You bless us!

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!!

John, I grew up with your Mom in Nashville. I have been praying for Noah and will continue to do so. After talking to Judy today, I went to your blog and watched your video. What a great video - I enjoyed watching Noah and listening to your wonderful lesson. May God be with you, Jessica, and Noah. Judy (Hall) Warren, Franklin, Kentucky

Hello there, I just wanted to say that I would be praying for your beautiful little boy and following your blog to see how he is doing. I have a son who has some chronic medical issues and can understand the heartache that goes along with seeing your child struggle. I pray that God lifts you up and encourages you through this time. That He gives Noah's doctors wisdom to care for him, and strenght and health for Noahl. God Bless

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!

John David

1/26/2010 05:47:57 am

Hey, Thanks Amy! I priase God for ice cream. We are glad for every piece of advice because we know it represents concern for Noah. I like you am glad when he eats anthing !

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

John and Jessica, Just wanted you guys to know that you are in my prayers multiple times a day. I pray that God just gives you Peace as Noah is healing from this evil thing that has come into his little body. I give thanks everyday for the healing that is GOING to take place in Noah. We are only human an so we do ask why? But I believe that the people that have been touched by your experience is the why. I love you guys and will continue to give God the glory for what is about to do in Noah. John I honestly believe you are my brother because for several weeks before I found out about what was going on with Noah, you were in my thoughts alot and I would stop and pray to God that whatever you where going through or about to go through that he just give you strength and be by your side whatever may take place. Maybe that is why in the hospital you didn't lose it completely, which by the way I admire you for the way you handled that because I would have probably went to jail. Love you Man. Keep the blogs coming. Jessica hang in there girl God will lift you up.

1/26/2010 12:19:23 pm

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 am so glad to see the update that things are going well this time! I am still praying for all of you every day!

Hang in there, I am praying for you!!

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.

You are in our prayers every night and especially when my six year old Jeremiah prays. Then when putting him to bed he often reminds me to check on Noah so I can update him the next day. We lift you up for peace, strength, comfort and healing as only Christ Jesus can give. Noah is a CHAMP in every sense of the word and so very, very precious in the eyes of our Lord. In Christ's Love and Sincerity, Jim and Kim

2/26/2010 11:34:17 pm

hi my name is Paulo, about 3 weeks ago when we first encountered about Noah’s story we were very compassionated to pray for him. Every Wednesday we have a “Victory Service” and we asked the church to pray for Noah, so as we all praying, I had a vision! An Angel from God was removing a fruit or it look like a fruit from Noah’s head while he was in an emergency room surrounded by doctors operating on him, so I went told my Pastor a bought it after the service was done. At the same time another person came and told the Pastor that she had a vision of an orange being removed from his head as well. I have committed to pray for him everyday, sorry I did not write before but we just found your blog. God Bless

You're right, 'to whom much is given, much is required' is biblical. My mother and I were just talking about this the other day.

The Parable of the Faithful Servant or Parable of the Door Keeper is a parable told by Jesus in Mark 13:34-37 and Luke 12:35-48.

We love you more each day and will not stop praying.

Hi there!
I just wanted to let your family know that we really are praying for you on a daily basis. We have been going to Friendship for a month now. We are very new. But, we researched the church and immediately found your story. I have 3 kids. We have a 7 year old, a 2 year old and a 9 month old. I cannot imagine what you are feeling. Each time I look at your website for updates, my heart breaks for each of you and I'm immediately brought to tears. Noah is a brave little boy. You all will continue to be in my thoughts and my prayers.

Answering your question about things to do in Birmingham:

You should take Noah to the McWane Science center in downtown. It's 4 floors of fun activities and they have an IMAX that shows educational movies. Philip McWane is on the board at Children's so I'm sure his center and the hospital have a pretty good relationship....so maybe your nurses could get you guys free parking or even free tickets?? No harm in asking. (= I've been several times and it is great fun for all ages and you learn lots!

Praying for Noah!

Hi!

I came accross this blog while searching for scriptures on finances. God has great plans for your son. I would like to bring about this, bcause all you want to see in your son is him walking in divine health, so pls visualise that in you spirit (i.e. Noah walking in divine health, with a strong immune system and with the turmor having disappeared). And every minute start confessing what you want to see in your son, eg. Declare Noah is healed, his body functions according to the perfection God has made it to function, oppression is far from him, he walks, he runs, every part of his body functions well, the devil is a liar, the Lord has already in place great plans for him, to prosper him, and not to harm him, fear is far from me and my family as we stand strong for Noah, God is not a man that He should lie, Noah is healed in Jesus mighty name, Amen. Pls confess this every chance that you get. It worked for me, I am healed because of that confession. God loves you.

Nayang Mabe RSA

3/30/2010 11:34:33 pm

Hi! My name is Nayang, I came across this website when I was searching for scriptures on finances. God has great plans for your son. He is the heir of Abraham. I understand what you are going through, and I want you to start exercising your faith in this manner. In your heart you want your son walking in divine health. Therefore, through your SPIRITUAL eyes visualise your son walking in divine health. Confess the following every minute that you get: "Noah is healed, he is walking in divine health, his body functions according to the perfection God has made it to function, God has got great plans for him, to prosper him and not to harm him, oppression is far from him, from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet the life of God flows in his body, every part of his body, his bloodflow, his vessel, every vein, every cell of his body runs the spirit of God. Fear is far from us as we stay strong for Noah, the Lord is our strength, the devil is a liar, Noah is healed, the cancer is no more, his immune system is restore, white blood cells you are restored in Jesus mighty name. Cancer, you have no place in Noah's life, you are dead, I cast you out in Jesus name, amen". This confessions helped me a lot. I'm healed by confessing such.

Hey guys, we are not at church tonight because Michael has some crude. Anyway, we are sitting here on the sofa reading Noah's blog and praying for each person in your family. When you are in the middle of the storm you think it might never pass...and at times you may not be able to remember what it was like before the storm...but you will come out of the storm into bright skies and cloudless days!

I hope you all had a Happy Easter! The weather was beautiful down here. And our church worship service rocked! It is still not like being at home at Friendship. We miss you and are praying that Noah is strong, happy and enjoying the Easter Bunny and finding those eggs. I remember when Michael was his age. He loved to hunt for eggs. It still makes me smile thinking of it. I know you are cherishing every moment with your child too. What a blessing! God constantly amazes me with his love and creativity - all the things that he gives us so richly to enjoy.
Sorry to be rambling. Just wanted to let you know you are loved. Grace and peace. Christ is risen - indeed!

I've been following Noah's story since he was diagnosed. I am a friend/coworker of Scarlet Brooks, and she posted about Noah on Facebook. Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers ever since then, and I check your blog everyday.

Yesterday (Easter Sunday) at church, these words from the hymn "Because He Lives" jumped out at me and made me think of Noah.

"How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
and feel pride and joy He gives;
but greater still the calm assurance,
this child can face uncertain days because He lives."

As a mother, I want you to know that your faith overwhelms me and moves me deeply.

Hi there Crowe family!

We were honored to attend the pancake breakfast at FUMC in March, and it was wonderful to sense the love and support from the people there!

My mom met up with us there, and she was able to donate blood for the first time ever in her life. She has also needed blood three times in her life, and was unable to get it-she has a rare one, A-. Needless to say, she was honored to give in Noah's name. We know it was a "God-thing", and she was happy to share of how God allowed her body to donate.

Do you by chance know how much the Life South was able to collect in Noah's name? It was a terrific turnout! Yeah!

You are in our family's prayers, and we appreciate being able to see updates via the blog.

The Jacksons-in Louisiana,
Troy, Barb, Kirsten, Geoffrey, Ellis...and "Grandma"-Marty Burke too!

Just wanted to let you know that we are still praying. My Sunday School class puts you guys at the top of our prayer request list every week. Those girls have been so faithful about praying for you they even did it while I was out right after our baby girl made her grand entrance.

God bless you.

Good Evening, Crowes,

I have missed a few days on the blog and am overjoyed that you made it home earlier this week. Also good to hear that Noah is gaining little blood cells. I am praying that this treatment is effective beyond all expectations. And that Noah will be in remission (is that the correct term for permanent cancer-free state?) until Jesus meets us in the air!!!

I can only imagine the fatigue you must be feeling, so I am praying also for you to be strengthened beyond human experience. And that the Holy Spirit fills you anew every morning with Joy and Peace and Patience.

The blessings of God to you.

Love you, all 3!

I woke up thinking about you guys this morning so after checking the blog I had yet another chat with God about what amazing people you are and how thankful everyone is that Noah has done so well even with all the bumps in the road. I continue to pray for you each and every day. I shared Noah's story in my class at church a few weeks ago and about how I believe God has used Noah to do so many good things...including opening my eyes and bringing me back to Him!! Needless to say there was not a dry eye in the room, expecially not mine! We Love you guys and are here for ANYTHING you may need!!

Just to say I'm still praying every day for Noah and J. D. and Jess . . . I pray for peace, successful treatment, and a minimum of suffering for all. I pray that God will empower all of the medical team to find the right treatments for Noah that will result in a cure for his cancer. Cancer does get cured very often, and I pray daily for this outcome. My 22-year old great nephew has now been diagnosed with brain cancer, had surgery, and is undergoing treatment in a clinical trial for a new therapy. His prognosis is terminal, just a matter of time. The treatment may extend the time, but all is unknown at this point.
With love and prayers for all the Crowe family,

I hope you are standing strong little man! You amaze me with your strength! My little Kate bewilders me with her courage too...

Just read John David's post about hating it that Noah even knows about blood work, shots, chemo, etc. I hate that your little guy has to know about all of this but I love it that he has got to be the toughest little boy in the state, maybe in the world! Dear God, I pray that soon Noah will be forever healed of this horrible cancer. I pray that this world of shots, blood tests, chemo, etc. will soon come to an end and little Noah will get to have a new 'normal' where the worst thing he needs to be tough for is Mommy washing a skinned knee. I am praying every day for the day when Noah gets to experience this new 'normal'. Until that day comes, I pray that God continues to be with Noah so that he can be 'tough' and endure what he must for the chemo to rid his body of this cancer forever. Noah is an amazing child and I have no doubt that God has great things planned for his life.
with love in Christ,

I even told the guy that last time we were there 3 weeks ago. I'm so happy that the manager was so good to you!
I am still praying for Noah and your entire family every day. My prayer is that God will cure his body of every single cancer cell FOREVER! Please let me know if I can ever do anything for you guys!

PLEASE TRY TO HAVE THESE EMAILED TO ME WITHIN A WEEK OF YOU SIGNING UP. ( If I don't get these letters I have nothing to foward to go by and I don't want your child to miss out.)

3. Parents will be REQUIRED to email me a picture of your child with their present from their adoptive family to kimortega@msn.com within a week of them recieving their gift. This will also let the volunteer know that their "adoptive" child has recieved their gift. This is so everyone can see the joy on your child's face when they get their present!

I hope this is not asking alot of the parents but this is something I would like to do every year and pictures speak a thousand words and to earn the trust of my volunteers and people that help donate this is why I am asking for pictures. Without my fans I would not be able to do all of this. Thank you everyone for your support.

If you want to sign your child up please do so by leaving a comment here on this discussion. Please when signing your child up leave YOUR CHILDS NAME, THE LINK TO YOUR CHILDS WEBSITE, AGE AND WHAT STATE YOU LIVE IN please. This is the only way I will be keeping track of who is signing up.

Hey Noah,

My sons hardly miss a night praying earnestly for you and they ask me, often, if I know how you are doing. We love you Noah, and are praying for your mom, dad, and grandparents, too. I bet you'll be riding that tractor and mower soon enough by yourself, huh?! Jesus LOVES you little buddy and so do we. Count on it !!

Hello Noah and family, You don't know me and that doesn't matter. A friend made me aware of your journey months ago. I have been praying for you ever since and just wanted to say, never give up! Keep the faith. You will beat this!! You are so brave and you have so many people praying for you. May God keep you in the palm of his hand.

This is atleast the second brain tumor in a child that I have heard of in the past two years. Kackenzie Matthews, belongs to our church congregation. In cry when I think of the world today, how we have our treated it and how it is affecting our precious little angels. I am writing to give you hope. Mackenzie has finished her treatment, altough her life will never be the same, she is back in school and doing wonderfully. She has been in remission several months. Not onlly does she go to our church my daughter is a classmate of this little girl, at school.

Have only just been able to go to the blog and see the story. I knew the events from being at Friendship, but am only now able to handle seeing all the "cancer stuff". Have been praying for Noah all along. I am so saddened by the news in this latest MRI. Its like a punch in the gut. (been there, done that with the cancer news). Stay strong and know that God loves you and is working this out for the best. Only He knows what is truly Best.

We pray for Noah and you guys every day, you are always in our thoughts and prayers. I believe that God is watching over Noah, and that he has an amazing plan for him that we just can't see or understand yet. Never lose faith. We love you and if we can help you in any way, please tell us. We are only a short drive away.

My heart is heavy with your burden. If I may, I feel the need to offer this prayer on your behalf.

Lord, You are always in control of everything in our lives. You are in control of the events that bring us joy, sorrow, comfort, and peace. On behalf of this precious family, I pray that You hear this prayer from a child of Your Kingdom.

Lord, in the Name of Your Son, Jesus, I speak the blessing of healing on Noah. You have told us that whatever we ask in Your Name, it will be granted to us. I believe this because You said it. Just like I believe that You will heal this little boy and bring sunshine and joy back into the hearts of his parents.

Use this child, Lord, as a proof of miracles so that whomever is not a believer in You, will see the Power in Your Hands. They know what the MRIs show, but, Lord, you can beat the surgeons to it and totally remove this tumor from this child's brain. Make him whole and complete.

His parents are believers in You. They will be an even stronger witness for You and they will have living proof of Your Power and Love. Heal this child in the Name of Your Most Precious Son, Jesus. Amen and amen.

My best friend keeps your son posted on her FaceBook page, I've checked in a few times to Noah's blog. Noah is being prayed for very much. I don't know you, but I am crying with you. That sweet face touches my heart as does his bravery.

I just wanted to let you know that a random person in Middle Georgia will be praying for yall tomorrow.

Be brave even when you want to crumble!

Just wanted to tell you that we love you all so much, and our heart aches for you right now. The things we've experienced with our girls have been minor, but I know the hurt of a parent's heart. I wish I could take this from you, but in lieu of that, we're praying continually for Noah, his medical team, and for you two.

Dear Noah,

I have known your grandparents Sonya & Brad most of my life, Brad from the first grade, Sonya from Junior High. It was love at first site for Brad. Their love is what everyone searchs for their whole life and only a few ever find what they had. And from that love you were born and I truly believe God has a plan for you and your family. I have you in my heart every minute. May God work fast for your recovery.

“Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all!” 2 Thessalonians 3:16

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Phillipians 4:7

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.” John 14:27

I pray that the Lord will give you His prevailing peace today. I pray that the Lord will give the doctors wisdom from on high and skill beyond their natural abilities. Lord, protect Noah and keep him safe. You are awesome God and worthy of our praise. Be glorified today in this situation.

Dear Jess & J. D.: My thoughts and prayers are with you every day. I don't send comments as you have so many of those. But I have never stopped praying for all of you, and am still wearing my Noah prayer bracelet to keep me focused on my prayer intentions. Very glad he came through the surgery apparently very well -- he's a tough little guy and a real trooper, as are you both. Your faith and trust in the Lord is inspiring to all of us keeping up with your, and Noah's, story.
May God's healing hand bring an end to all of your suffering, and restore Noah to good health forever.

~~May He give you the vision to see simple beauty in each day.. those little glimpses of his abiding LOVE and His Holy presence! ( today i was outside doing chores and fretting about one of my teenagers when I looked up and saw the brightest patch of blue sky with an orange leaf dancing, falling, and swirling down from the trees..)
Tiny moments of His grace that whispers of His love to your soul is what I pray that He will bless you with today...

I am sure you have much more to say. This is a lot of information for you to process a deal with all at once. God is always with you and will give you the strength needed to get through anything life gives you - as long as you allow him to and I know your faith is strong. He never gives us more than we can handle. It is great that Noah is doing so well since his surgery and understand the doctors point completely. That is a huge decision to make and I know that both of you will go to God and ask his assistance as you make this decision. I pray that he guides you and protects Noah through the process. God will give him the courage to make it through this and he gave Noah both of you to help him find that courage and to do what is needed here upon the earth for his/your son.

Many blessing upon your family.

I pray often for Noah and my heart breaks for your family. As I read your last post, all I could think about was the song "I Surrender All." As you know, life is all in God's hands regardless of the choices we make or do not make. I will continue to pray for your family and the decisions that you must make in the weeks to come. I hope it brings you encouragement to know that so many are praying for you. Just "Surrender All" to him and he will make the choice for you. May God continue to bless and be with your family in this time of need. Please let Noah know that I am praying for him!! The Lord will never leave us!!!

We have been remembering you all in our prayers, and we are trusting God for His perfect healing in His perfect timing for Noah. What a blessing he is, has been, and will be!

If there is anything we can do at any time, please don't hesitate to ask. We are happy to do anything we can!

Hi John David. You probably do not remember me. I worked with the Daycare at Friendship and we would run into one another a lot in the gym. We talked one day in the little coffee area about marriage, because i was getting married soon. You showed me the list that you carry around in your wallet that you and your wife made out together. Well that story has stayed with me during my marriage of 3 years now! We have a 2 year old son named Eli. Eli has never meet Noah but he likes to look at his pictures on the computer! We pray every night and Eli tells me to pray for Noah and his (what eli calls)his "booboo". You and your family are always in our prayers!

I'm glad to see that Noah is so far responding well to the new treatments. I've read a LOT of research on the latest clinical trials for brain cancer (since my dad is also fighting it), and the particular treatment Noah is on is one of the most promising ones I've read about. I'm praying that it will be effective and that Noah continues to respond well to it. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear this but am grateful that the radiation is available. I am praying for Noah and both of you as well.

Dear John,
I wished I could read all 400+ comments. I read a few. If I can offer just a little bit of encouragement to you as a Christian, I wished I could take my own life if to save your sons. Jesus did that very thing for us all. We all have hope of our resurrection of eternity with Christ. I might not understand why God allows cancer to hurt so many people like your son, but I trust that the Lord has a reason for everything, a time and a place for it. Job said in the bible, "God gives life and he takes it away". Isaiah 57:1 says, "Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time...No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come." God doesn't despise anyone; he loves us all the time! I also believe all Children belong to the Lord; your son is in His care so you have no worries. Don't lose heart, stay positive, and always say, "We must trust in the Lord". Stay faithful to God and his word. Thank Him always for everything no matter what. God bless you and yours.

I feel like there are no words for me to express how sorry I am that you are having to go through this yet again. Also, no words I can say will ever come close to being enough. So, I'll just say I am sorry! I will continue to lift Nah and your family up in prayers. Begging Gog for healing!

My family has prayed for Noah since the beginning of this journey and will continue to do so. My little boys pray for him when they go to bed and when they wake up.

I in awe over how strong your family is. I admire your courage and your faith. You have an amazing little boy and he has amazing parents.

I love what you wrote, "What we do know is that we have today. That means - ice cream for lunch, cake for dinner, and whatever we can do to make us laugh."
I wish you an eternity of ice-cream, cake and laughter!

You guys are amazing. The fact that hat you are able to stand firm in your faith and still be hopeful is an amazing testimony to your faith. I would like to think that I could do the same but I am not so sure. I am humbled and touched by the way that you two continue to walk with our Lord through the darkest of times which you have had to endure lately. I will continue to pray for sweet Noah and for his wonderful parents.

A friend posted your site on her facebook and I came to learn about & pray for Noah. Last year I walked a terrifying walk in the PICU with my child. The prayers of friends, family and total strangers brought us such comfort. I hope you feel how so many are holding your family in their hearts and prayers. Isaiah 43:1-4 became my daily meditation as we faced uncertainty. I will pray that Noah is healed and for strength for the two of you during these difficult days.

A friend of mine posted on facebook yesterday about your sweet son needing prayers for healing. I asked her to send me the link to this blog. I have been reading Noah's story this morning and even shared parts of it with my four children. We, as a family, are starting today lifting Noah up in prayer everyday. I have never met you personally but much love is being sent your way from our family. We are brothers and sisters in Christ. So with that, know we love you and are praying for your healing Noah. Strength to you parents and wisdom to the doctors and nurses attending to your sweet angel.

To: Noah Hey Little Guy, I know you must be confused right now. I was to. You are an amazing child, and a beacon of light, everytime i see you, I can not help but to smile. I know you are young right now, and most likly dont understand what i am writing, but that is ok, one day you will be able to read these things written, and know that your Family Loves and cherishes you. To: Jess, I can not fathom what this is like for a mother. I only know mine still asks about my annual scans. I know she was Terrified. I am greatly sorry for what you are going through, and I also pray for you everytime i talk to God. I wish i could over more than i have been able to. To: John I again cannot fathom what you are going through, and asking is a selfish act. I know the times are trying. But it has releived me to know you can still find reasons to smile every day. I pray for you and your family every time i talk to god. As individuals, and as a family. You three played a huge part in me coming back to god. It may seem weird, due to the fact i was very "shy" in my first few months. But the way christ worked through you all, touched me deeply. I am blessed for knowing your family. I pray that Noah gets better, and beats this. I pray that you, Jess, and you, John, have the endurance to not give up, even in the darkest hours. If there is anything you need, even if it is an ear to listen, please, contact me. I will do my best to help in anyway i can.

No matter what ugliness we see in people on the TV...here is an uplifting blessing for all of us as we get to see that man is not forsaken or all evil. God is good and He is still here. Thanks for sharing the blog with us and allowing us to see that. I also get to see the best in my sweet husband as every single night he takes my hand and prays with me...and ends the prayer with prayers for Jessica, John David and Noah.

Hey Jess....When You said "Barber's" I knew immediately. I, too, was quite pleasantly surprised when we got there. I thought "ugh, blech" but it was interesting and neat to look at all the vehicles. When we were there, Porche was having a track day. How fun that would be! (we did look into it for my xmas present last year - over $1,000! no wonder we don't own a Porche! Just to play with one for a day is $1,000?!?)

Hang in there! love ya'll

Wow what beautiful beach pictures. I am so glad you have had a normal three months, and so relate to how rough that transition to normal can be at first even though it seems like it should feel amazing, and at times it does but it's still hard in its own way. Joel also has an MRI on July 20th. I have to wonder if God is at work in all the times Joel and Noah have MRIs on the same days since neither of them have MRIs that often but so many times they have been the same day. So, on Wednesday, when we are wishing that just one time we weren't so nervous, we'll be praying for your family and for peace that passes all understanding for you and for Noah. God has uniquely positioned you to be Noah's parents and I can tell that your faith and your grace bless his life.

Lots of Love,

God, I pray that you would eternally bless this family. I pray you would bless the doctors, bless the nurses, and bless, cure, and heal little Noah completely. It seems sometimes we have no idea why we are laid burdens and pains upon our shoulders. But God, he overcomes. He is the great healer. He is the one that will last throughout the storm, will raise up the hopeless, and who will endure forever and always. God bless this godly family, bless their little angel, Noah, and lay your hands on them all for your healing. My God, beat this. And may God, always be with your beautiful family. Jesus Bless.

Hi. I know we dont personally know each other, but over the past few years I have read so many status updates from friends of mine on facebook asking for prayers for your very precious little boy. I started following this site right after you started it, and I still check on a regular basis to see how your little boy is doing. I saw in your last update where you said that you didnt know who was still reading it. Well, I know I am only one person, but I am still reading it, and I will continue to read it. My husband is military and we live in Wichita, KS. We attend Amazing Grace Baptist Church, and even though they dont know your little boy, they still ask me how he is doing because I shared his story so they could pray for him. I just wanted you to know that I as well as several people here in my area pray for your son frequently. I believe our God is a mighty God, and He can do anything. I also want you to know that because of you, my faith has gotten stronger. Watching you take your journey and still be able to give glory and thanks to God has been such an uplifting and amazing thing for me to see. My heart is broken for you because of your most recent news, and I will make sure to let my church know. I think the Lord has awesome plans for your little Noah, and I just wanted you to know that I will pray and pray and pray for you, Noah's doctors, and most importantly Noah. God Bless :)

I have just come across the story of this precious child. I was blessed with 2 healthy children who are all grown up now. I have a 3 year old precious grand daughter, who thankfully is a very happy healthy little girl. My heart breaks as I read Noah's story. It seems so unfair for a little one to have to go through so much. I sobbed as I watched the video. I pray for strength for Mommy and Daddy as you go through this with him. I have seen absolute miracles on my loved ones in my lifetime. And I pray that God would give this little one a miracle, that he could be healed, and grow to adulthood, where he could share his story and use it to lead many to Christ.

I am keeping up with Little Noah and his fight and pray every day for him and you, his loving parents. He is a miracle already, and so many prayers are being lifted up for the miracle of healing for him. He is part of everyone's heart. I hope he and all of you feel the love and compasion while you are on this journey.
