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. 5/18/2012 04:55:08 am

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.

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!!

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dear Jessica, I went to school with Brad and Sonya, I have followed Noah's story from the beginning, I am praying everyday, you have shown me what faith in God really means. I have some wonderful memories of your father I will share in and e-mail, he was the most wonderful person I have ever known. My heart and prayers are with you and your family. Debby

Our prayers and thoughts are with you three! Noah is truely a little miracle! We will continue to keep you in our prayers! 12/9/2009 10:29:27 am
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. 12/9/2009 12:47:22 pm
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.

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! 12/9/2009 01:24:58 pm
Just read your latest blog. Thanks for your honesty and transparency. You, Jessica and little Noah are constantly on my mind and heart. We'll just have to keep praying and trusting won't we. I know there are hundreds wanting to do something for ya'll so just add me to the list.

Hello. You don't know me, but your family has been on our prayer chain at work for a while now, so I've been reading the blog and following Noah's story. I also forward the stories to friends. I just wanted to say that there are many, many people out here praying for you and your family. I hope Noah has a successful surgery - or should I say surgeries - and that he heals quickly. Have a wonderful Christmas. 12/9/2009 11:34:19 pm
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!

I follow your blog and pray continually for your baby boy. Today I also laughted when I was reading! sounds odd, yes. I thought I had the only toddler who LOVES Michael Jackson! We were really surprised when he asked for the CD and it is playing in a loop at our house! I pictured little Noah doing the whoo hoo like my little Colt. Sounds like they would be great friends ..HAHA. I don't know about you Jess, but I am loving reliving the 80's!

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!!! 12/10/2009 03:47:26 am
I wanted to let you know that you and your family are CONSTANTLY on my mind. I have been teaching Miller to pray, by praying for your sweet baby. I bought a Praying for Noah bracelet today at MOPS and I don't plan to take it off until Noah is in the clear. We love you and want you to know that you have been such an encouragement. You are Not alone. We (your brothers and sisters in Christ) are in this together.

Jess - I read your blog this morning and hummed as I read through the hymn that you wrote down...and was thinking to myself, that I was going to send you a message about the beauty and promise of " He Lives" . 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.....

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 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. 12/10/2009 10:19:50 am
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.

I love "Because He Lives!!"...another one that came out around that time was by 'Truth'..."Get thee back behind me Satan, you shall not prevail, because Jesus Never Fails!!" 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!

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.

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 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

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. 12/12/2009 02:51:19 pm
sorry, i made a typo on my comment above...I prayed that he would not have any more pain...no grafts only new skin growing..A Miracle!!!

You got plenty of backup! We love ya!

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.

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.

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. 12/17/2009 02:28:50 am
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.

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.

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,

Hey John and Jessica and Noah,
Breanna Hamilton
12/20/2009 10:45:08 am
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.

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!

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.

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 and Jessica- Just like many in our church family I look at Noah's website often and pray even more often. After reading your post today I really felt the need to tell you that we pray about the decisions you have to make....your child, the child you share with us and make us all feel like he belongs to us too, is constantly in our prayers. Love, Franklin and Lisa Williams

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.

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

I just picked up a copy of Athens Now and read your story. Not surprisingly it brought me to tears. I have a littlle girl who will be 2 in March and seeing the pictures and videos on the website of Noah's little face reminded me of my little one. I have not been obedient in my prayer life but I will be on my knees praying for Noah until he is well. Thank you for sharing your story and inspiring me as a parent and as a Christian.

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!

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!

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.

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!!

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

Amy
1/25/2010 08:35:29 am
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).
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 !

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

I also pray now Lord that you will carry John and Jessica as they try to deal with the heartbreak of seeing their baby in such pain and turmoil. Give this family strength and peace and direction in the care of Noah. Give the Doctors and medical workers wisdom and direction in the diagnosis and treatment option for his total healing.

God has put Noah on my heart and I think of you often. Your Faith is inspiring and healing to those of us with problems no where near the size of "a sick child". Noah is as Blessed to have you as you are him. God will bless you all through this, and us as well.

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

I saw one of Noah's bracelets on a co-worker at the arsenal and he clued me in on the sheer determination and strength of this little angel. We realize just how great GOD is and his unconditional love for us we are at our weakest moments in life. Your little Noah is an inspiration to our family and we will continue to pray for your family. God bless all.

Hi!
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.

Hey guys, I just had you deeply on my heart this morning. I know that you are all tired and I cannot begin to imagine how you feel. I do know this that your thoughts and comments as you journey through this tough time have been an encouragement and strength for so many. I do believe that the Father is there with you through it. I don't understand it, but this world stinks and I can't wait till the next one comes along. Come soon Lord Jesus!

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!!

5/6/2010 01:53:14 am
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.

I am pulling the midnight shift for ya Noah! The Lord laid you on my heart tonight so, I came to see what was going on with you and I see you are back to the Chemo treatments. : ( Don't you love how God works in mysterious ways to lay you on my heart at such a time as this. I hope you are standing strong little man! You amaze me with your strength! My little Kate bewilders me with her courage too... I have yet to see another kid dance down the hall to the Dr's office singing that she is getting a shot! I bet you'd do something like that too though, huh? Many prayers and blessings! Ann

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.

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.

We continue to send our love and prayers up for all three of you...and your extended family. My hope is that enough of us will pray and through that prayer will bring you strength so amazing that you KNOW it comes from somewhere outside yourself.

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.

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. A person I graduated high school with posts updates on Noah frequently so I'm quite certain that your sweet boy (and you, of course) will be in the minds and prayers of MANY people 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 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. 10/14/2010 12:03:41 am

Thank you for the update and Noah as well as both yours and Johns family are in my prayers. 11/4/2010 09:50:03 am
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.
Gwen
11/5/2010 02:11:54 am
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!!!

I have always thought of your family often because I knew that we were both going through similar things, but now I think of you even more because we are both going through what we could never imagine, even in the hardest days of chemotherapy. My prayer now is that God responds with miracles greater that we can ask or imagine.

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.

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.

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?!?)
Hi Noah 3/15/2011 09:55:16 am

Hi Crowe family! I keep up with your blog and just wanted you to know how inspirational YOU ALL are. I attended friendship when I lived in Alabama and my mom and sister still do. I visit when i am in town. Its awesome to see that even through this trying time you all find reasons to smile and praise God. To me thats amazing and it makes me want to walk a healthier, more faithful road with God. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I know it has touched many lives. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers everyday. May God bless you all!

Cory Babcock
7/16/2011 01:45:10 pm
We really enjoyed meeting your family this week at Lighthouse!! Noah's beautiful smile and sweet little face are precious. We will be thinking and praying for ALL of you as you continue on this journey.
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.

Hi to Noah from Kristin and Julia, whom you met at the Lighthouse retreat. We just wanted you to know we are thrilled to see the news about your MRI and that we have been praying for you and your family! (Mom, I am the one who brought Noah back to you that last morning as we were saying "see you later" and Julia is my daughter, age 11, with a short hair-cut who ate the spaghetti and pudding in the talent show with Allie!) We will continue to pray and we send 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.
Angela Smith

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 hope he and all of you feel the love and compasion while you are on this journey.

I didn't have the opportunity to get to know all 3 of you well before God led you to a new ministry, but you are my family and I pray for you daily. I don't have magic answers nor do I know what the future holds for the three of you, but I do know the One who does and I believe in miracles. The greatest miracle is the on of Perseverance, where we can be strong and God dependent on whatever we are going thru. All of you have and are experiencing that miracle. Never give up, we don't know the outcome of this trial but we'll always know the absolute surety of God's presence and of His Love, His strength and the Peace that only He can give. God Bless all of You. In Christ's Love, Terri

You three are constantly in our prayers and have been. We talk about you and think about you daily. There are thousands who are pulling for you guys and sending up prayers often. During this we have bonded, unknowingly, with many and even people in the grocery are aware of what is going on and will start up a conversation about precious Noah. We may not talk to you that often, but we are there for you guys, we love you three, and I stand in for all the Grand Parents also, I can only imagine how they feel sometimes. We thank our Heavenly Father for being there for you and for hearing our prayers for you. What would life be if we had to do without that blessing even one week! Nothing but Love to ya. xxoo

Praying for your family during this difficult time. In Isaiah 26:3 the Lord promises perfect peace to those who put their trust in Him, which is very evident from your blog.

Jess, John, and Noah - my heart breaks as I read over your recent blog entries. And as I know that my personal delimias are tiny as compared to your convictions and circunstances, but I would like to share something small with you. As I took my issues to God yesterday morning during alter-call, God gave our pastor scripture that lifted my internal burden and allowed me to give it to Him to bare. 'For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life:weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.' Psalm 30:5

We continue to pray for you little buddy. Your smile and the faith of your Mother inspire me every day. Her words during this most difficult time bring comfort to me and so many more. She is a light shining God's love. My life is better for knowing you, if only through your website.

Chase and I have been praying for you guys...especially following the events of Wednesday evening/afternoon. We praying for peace and rest for the two of you and for Noah's upcoming Disney adventure. Although we haven't known you both for very long, words cannot express how moved we are by the strength of your faith and commitment. I will pray for your parental decisions and that you can experience some laughter and joy at Disney.

I am catching up on the full blogs- I follow the information on Facebook as well and Noah is ALWAYS in my prayers! I was reading Tueday 11/15 and wow did you encourage my heart and help me as a mother with your discussion about God as a parent sometimes has to say no just as we as parents must make the tough decisions for our kids that they do not understand. As I am just getting into the "teen" years with my oldest, this has been ever present in my struggles with them. And you explained better than I could have put together in my head. Noah's battle has touched this mom in a profound way! Thank you for that! I will continue to pray for him and for his healing on earth, that God will give Noah a yes! But oh what a blessing that your family has the gift of knowing the Lord and knowing that this is a temporary home for us all and in God's kingdom is eternal life without suffering.

One more thing I want to share. This is a prayer that was posted by a mother who was in a similar situation with her child battling cancer. I think it is a prayer that we can all use, especially when we may not be able to come up with the words..of course even without words God knows our prayers and requests even as they are groins and moans. This though I think is a good prayer, especially as you face the hardest decision of your life at this moment. I will be in prayer for your decisions and for the Doctors to find wisdom in treating Noah.
Debra

Our prayer group has been following Noah's progress for some time now. We are fervently praying for a miracle. I can only imagine what you are going through but through it all you remain a shining light for Christ. What a witness! I know that God can heal him and that's my prayer.

I read in one of your blog posts that many people know you and the ones that claim Jesus Christ as their Savior-you guys are family as well. Well, I claim the Jesus is my Savior. God is so good and so kind that He has blessed another soul to begin praying for you guys and for Noah. I was told about your son's challenges some time ago, but God put it on my heart to read and pray more. I know that God is still in the saving business because He just saved me from cancer. I just want to encourage you both that God is always near. He will never leave you. I noticed that you all have posted one of my favorite verses (Romans 8:28) and I pray that you keep it close to your hearts. Another one that I wish to send to you guys is Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." NIV. God loves you John David, Jessica, and Noah. So do I. Keep looking to the hills from which cometh your help, because your help comes from the Lord. And I will pass it on...Praying for Noah. :)

Continuing to lift your family up to the Lord in prayer. Noah is such a brave little boy! I love seeing all the Disney pictures. Thanks for sharing. God Bless You all this Christmas! 12/20/2011 01:03:39 am
last year, I met a lady who was asking for donations from local businesses for a charity event to help raise money for Noah. I had seen and heard about Noah, but did not know the full extent of his battle. I donated a gift certificate and told the lady I would certainly add Noah to my prayers. Today, a dear friend of mine posted the website link and prayer request to her facebook page and I began reading. Normally, I would be in tears and fear for your son's life, but such peace and assurance surrounds me because of your faith in God, your love for your son, and your service to Christ, our Father. I will continue to pray for each of you and know that you are surrounded in love from strangers, friends and our Heavenly Father above. May the peace and joy of the holiday season continue to fill your hearts and home.

We get updates about Noah every week from the folks at Harvest Pointe UMC. I mention Noah in my Prayer each morning. And I think of you, the parents also. We had three little girls many years ago. One of them has passed on. We had a near death experience with the little one when she was three months old. But nothing of what you've enduring. God bless all of you.

This was not an easy decision to make, and I know how much you sought God for the answer. May God bless and keep you in His care. Merry Christmas.

My adult daughter (36 yrs) has had a malignant brain tumor. She had surgery to remove it in May 2010. She is doing much better now but there is always the apprehension of it coming back and the doctors say it will. Through her ordeal is how I have heard about Noah. Please know that you have a lot of prayer warriors here in north Alabama. Our GOD is bigger than anything and HE is in charge. Praying for all of you.

WOW- I just stumbled onto Christopher Higginbotham comment on this fb about this page and I was like WHAT? I had heard mumblings at church about people praying for Noah and y'all but I had NO IDEA. I know now and plan to become a power prayer for Noah and your family! cancer touched my life almost 10 yrds ago and honestly, it has been a blessing but it is a BEAST that God can destroy and I pray with all my heart He does so for Noah and his brain! Our Father God is in this fight and He is going to be in it for the long haul- KNOW I am faithful in prayer and plan to focus all my energy and my friends and families energies into prayer for healing for Noah! Strength for you and your wife, Jessica and a peace that surpasses all understanding! God Bless you and may 2012 bring a powerful miracle for Noah and a witness for God's healing powers for YEARS to come. If I can do anything . . .

I cannot possibly imagine the emotions of the situation and therefore can offer no comfort or advice...but know that we are sharing your pain and frustrations and praying for your little man. I hope that at least is of some comfort. Your outlook and attitude are amazing and inspiring. Your faith is stronger in the midst of hell than most people's is in the midst of celebration. I admire your strength and pray that God rewards you HUGELY for your unwavering confidence in Him. We may be all but strangers, but we love you guys! Such a blessing to be impacted by your faith.

Praying for Noah and both of you! I live in Athens but work in Decatur at GE. My co-worker cut out Noah's picture from a magazine that was advertising a trail ride fundraiser and taped it to her work station and began praying for him. One month later, she found out that her husband had brain cancer...he lived 3 months. But he accepted Christ before he died!!! The two of you and Noah are having a great impact on people that only Heaven knows!!

I came across your story/website a couple of weeks ago when a Facebook friend posted it. As a fellow YM wife who's expecting a little boy, I wanted to let you know that I am praying hard for you. Not only that they would get all of the tumor while maintaining the "Noah you love," but that He would truely show-out and it would just be gone when they do the MRI!

I work for Jim Rutherford's wife, Sheila. Jim is the uncle to Amy Green. I saw Noah's blog on Facebook. I will definitely be praying for you guys today. I was diagnosed in February, 2010 with brain cancer, so I have an understanding of the disease. God does perform miracles. I should not be working full-time or functioning fully, but I am. I actually have a hole in my left cerebellum the size of an egg and should not be walking and talking, but here I am...able to do just about everything I always did. God is good, and I'm praying for miracles for Noah and your family.

Praying for Gods peace and comfort for every one involved. I look at Noah and see so much of my little one in his personality. Last night we also prayed for your family and we have talked a little about Noah so our sons prayer was when the doctors were done that he could run and jump and just play again soon.

I heard about Noah from my sister who met you all this past summer when she did mission work with Lighthouse Ministries. This past Christmas, she made prayer buckets for all of her nieces and nephews and included in those a picture and story about Noah. Me and my daughter Lilly Grace have followed Noah ever since Christmas Eve. I was thrilled today when I got home and read that he seemed to be himself again after surgery. I can't imagine what you as parents have gone through since Noah's diagnosis, but through your postings I know that you are wonderful, caring parents who have put all your trust in GOD. I will continue to pray as many are for all of you.

A friend here at the office shared this site with me, and your story has moved me. Proverbs 20:24 comes to mind. In The Message it reads, "The very steps we take come from God; otherwise how would we know where we're going?" Thank you for sharing your lives with us as this unfolds. You are showing us how to live through this with dignity and faith, inspiring us, causing us to redefine priorities. It has been good for my heart to follow along. Thanks to each of you.

I heard about Noah through a former HS classmate of mine and have been following his journey through her. I was up about 4 am with my 14-month old daughter who still doesn't like to sleep through the night and I prayed earnestly for Noah as I rocked her back to sleep. Just wanted you to know that God was whispering his name into the ears of strangers in the wee hours of the night so that we might lift him up! Love to you all!

You guys don't know me, but Noah is constantly on mind! I'm praying for him and the two of you! I have a little guy that is very close in age to Noah. Noah's video brought tears of joy to me!! Stay strong :) Hello from Central PA! I am so happy to hear that Noah's surgery went well! I tried to leave a message yesterday but couldn't. I suspect your site was overwhelmed with Noah's fan club! I wanted to say that Noah just flabbergasts me with his strength and courage. It is evident that he is a very special young man. I also wanted to tell you that you both have become my spiritual heroes. Words can not express how amazed I am by your faith as you travel through this journey with Noah. You have never wavered in your trust in the Lord. You both have handled yourselves with such grace and have been such wonderful parents and role models for Noah. I will continue to pray for Noah's complete recovery. I believe has great things in store for you all! Lee Ann

Hello Jon. This is Cathy, Angela Hill's sister. It's been a long time, but I have mutual friends who post comments about Noah on Facebook. I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you all, and you have my prayers. I didn't see your post about contacting the CEO about the PICU policy until just now but I'm so glad you asked people to do this. I remember reading about your PICU rules months ago, and I was so frustrated for you I almost wrote a letter, because our PICU has always allowed parents to stay over night and through all the shift changes, with a one hour period twice each day where you must either stay in your room with your child or leave the PICU entirely so you don't interrupt shift change. Anyway, I understand they want to do what is in the best interest of the children, but I think that almost always involves having parents on hand. Good for you for asking people to speak up about it, I think it should be fixed!
Emily McMurtrey
1/4/2012 09:38:49 pm
Im so relieved to hear the CEO came and spoke with Jessica! I sent a letter to him : ) and have been on the edge of my seat checking this blog and praying from Oklahoma. I love reading the updates and praying for Noah with my daughter Ryily (3yrs) She thanked God yesterday night before bed for Noah and we prayed for his pain and tolerence through this recovery.

I have been following Noah's story for a couple of months. I heard of this website from Rebecca Beach, who I go to church with. We are friends on FB and she had a Pray for Noah link on her page. I clicked on it, read your family's story and instantly fell in love with precious Noah. I have a 3 1/2 year old son and can't imagine what you are going through but I know that your strength, faith and courage through this journey is AMAZING!!! I know we don't know each other, but please know that I am praying for y'all constantly. Praise God for Noah's successful surgery!

I learned about Noah through a friend facebook post, and have now checked in everyday since to see how he's doing. Your love for God and your strength amazes me. Being a mother of two I can't imagine being in your shoes and I like to think that I could be just as strong I know God does amazing things because I was healed by him and I pray that God takes away his pain and keeps the cancer away. You have a precious family and will now always be close to my heart.

I have been so touched by your story and your faith. I check your site every day and send update emails to a whole list of friends and co-workers. . I love when I send the email out and I hear a series of "Praise God" and "Thank you God" up and down my hall at work when they read that God has protected Noah once again. All of us have fallen in love with that little precious boy of yours and we will continue to pray for all of you
Julie Barbin
1/5/2012 08:15:31 pm
What an amazing young man that God has blessed you with. I say blessed because nothing else can bring you to your knees in prayer as a child of your own that is in the midst of a storm such as this. Never stop praying to Jesus and reminding Him of that woman who went to the bad king and kept asking for his help and he kept putting her off. She however would not be denied and pestered him constantly, and finally wore him out. lol. He did grant her help. I forgot which book of the Bible this is in, but it has been a comfort to me in my life and I have seen miracles too. I have a beloved child with cerebral palsy and epilepsy so have not wanted to read about Noah even though I have known of him, but God put it on my heart and now I am handing it back to Him broken for your child. I will also be praying for Noah a complete recovery from this and Jesus is always faithful. Every tear you shed, He holds in His beautiful hand--they are all precious to Him. Noah is especially precious to Him. His ways are not our ways
Ann Williams

I have been reading your blog for a while now and constantly saying prayers for all of you. I have debated commenting for a long time, but didn't want to to bother you, after all, I am a complete stranger. I was just thinking this morning that sometimes God puts words in our hearts and you never know when your words will be a true blessing to someone - just what they needed to hear. So here I am writing you to let you know that I am so inspired by all of you. By your Faith, thankfulness, your love and devotion, your optimism and the grace with which you are handling everything being thrown at you, the love that pours out in your words about your precious Noah. I am in constant awe of how strong Noah is. He plows through things that would bring grown adults to their knees with such courage and bravery. You can see his little personiality shine through in all of his pictures. His smile could light up a room. I want to personally thank you for inspiring me to slow down and appreciate the everyday blessings. For that, I will be forever grateful. I will hug my children tighter and Praise The Lord for them constantly. I wish you all the strength and courage that you need. I pray for Peace and most of all healing. I BELIEVE.
Susan and Jim Owens

Just want to feel one more little cheek kiss from God's Noah. Thank you, blessed parents.. You inspire us all. Our love to you..

What a different a day makes! So good to see Noah taking his first steps.

We will keep Noah on our prayer list.

So glad to read that Noah is up and walking around today. I will hope and pray that soon you won't be able to keep up with him again! I'm so sorry that this tumor is so wicked-bad and won't stay away. BUT our God is a God of miracles. So, praying hard that this time, there will be no re-growth and Noah can go on to love life and live to give God the glory. You all are an awesome family and we'll be praying for you all. Hugs to all . . . Hope you are able to be home by Sunday.

We are praying daily for precious Noah, Mom & Dad. I am passing this address onto some of our wonderful prayer warriors so they know specifically how to pray for Noah. Please Father God, wrap your arms around this special family and provide your strength, comfort and your lap for them to crawl up onto. Father, we pray especially that there be no infection in Noah's body and that he will be able to go home to continue his recovery. 1/9/2012 03:19:52 am
I am soo glad the fever is staying away. I pray you will ALL be in your OWN beds tonight.

I just wanted to say that your little boy is a wonderful little man... I have been praying for him from the moment I heard his story... He sounds and looks like he is a strong and brave little boy... I am praying that he has the chance to experience all the good things that this life has to offer...

Thank you for the wonderful update. God's "YES" is such a powerful witness to all of us who are caring, loving and praying for you! I will pray now, by your request that: "Above all we are praying the surgery removed every cancer cell from his brain and we will not need to make any more treatment decisions because no tumor will ever grow again, and he will live to be a very old man with an amazing story of how God used Noah's physicians along with His healing hand to spare Noah's life. For this child we will pray, for His glory to be made known, and for His will to be done."

A couple of weeks ago, I read and wept my way through Noah's story and the journey you have all been on. You all have been on my mind and in my prayers daily. He is such a beautiful little guy. It is so wonderful to learn that he is steadily improving and at home. My family is joining you in praying that every bit of the cancer was removed and Noah is restored to full health.

Wahooo!!!! Thank you for taking the time to post an update on Noah. My 10 1/2 year old son, James, and I check every day. James even told me yesterday he had a dream that he was typing in the website to check on Noah and another little boy's name/picture kept coming up. We believe there is another child out there that needs our prayers too! What joyous news you have shared, our hearts are brimming with happiness for you. Truly is a miracle. Noah is just a doll. Please keep us posted on his progress. April is so far away, enjoy each minute with this little angel. Let this "win" give you hope and encouragement that all will be right with Noah! God Bless! 1/24/2012 10:49:33 pm
Praise God! I am so pleased that your prayers have been answered so far. I just knew your faith would be rewarded. I check the site every day hoping for word about Noah's recovery. My wife and I continue to pray for Noah every day and spread the word as best we can. My Sunday school class asks about Noah every week. He has become a big part of our everyday life, and we have been so blessed by your faith and Noah's courage.

Wow! and Praise God! I don't know you guys, but just came across this website several months ago. You were so brave to even allow this last surgery. It must have been so hard on you. But to see the miracle as evidenced by those MRI pics is totally amazing! This is truly a testimony of what God can do! I will keep praying for you in this journey.

Thank you for the update! Amazing pictures on the blog.... through Noah we are allowed to "see a miracle"!
Hello... I have been following Noah's journey since about mid-November 2011 (started reading the blog from the beginning) when it was shared as a prayer request between some friends on Facebook. I have to confess that when I read about the MRI result prior to this most recent (successful) surgery, that the tumor was back and larger than expected, and that the option to just allow him to live out his days at home was on the table, my heart sank. I thought, "this is it" and cried heavy tears. I admired the decision-making process you shared... that attempting surgery would be better than to quit the fight altogether. Let me tell you, I was AMAZED when I read that Noah was pretty much back to himself aside from some tiny speech issues, etc. I shook my head and felt ashamed that I had even doubted a miracle like this would take place for your family. Praise the Lord!!

Jessica, you don't know me but I got to know your mom & dad when they moved into the married dorms at USM. We went to the same high school but they were 2yrs younger than I was. We became friends and the two things I remember at that time was that your mom drew a picture of an Ole Miss football player for my then 5yo son. They also gave us a PHS glass mug. I still have those two things. Anyway both our families ended up in Jackson & we saw them & you and your sister a couple of times. Then we got busy and the next thing I knew, I saw your mom in the hall at Baptist hospital & she told me your dad was in the hospital & it wasn't good. I am a nurse there. I just read Noah's story last night & was so moved - so much love, faith & trials. Just know that I am praying for Noah and your family.

I finally got on a computer that allowed me to watch the videos you have posted since this last surgery. They were absolutely wonderful! Thanks for posting them and allowing us to see Noah's progress. It is one thing to read about it but quite another to actually see it. Thank you Jesus for this miracle!

I have been praying for Noah for over a year now and of course also your family. We at TC know "spiritual warfare" and 100+ men pray for Noah every Monday evening! God bless you richly and give you and yours many more "uneventful" years! The devil is a liar! You on the other hand possess the Truth.

I have been praying for Noah for a long time and continue to pray for all of u. Was not sure why I was drawn to him, but God has his ways. I think I was being prepared for what was to come in the near future. My 11 yr old grandson Brandon has been having medical problems since Dec (throwing up, headaches,blurred vison ect.) Tonight he was taken into the ER for the 6th time since mid Dec. and they discovered he has some sort of mass on his brain and is going through all kinds of tests. Please pray for him and us to get through this.

I've been worried about you 3 all week and finally found out you have a website. I will continue to pray for Noah and that the peace that passes all understanding be with you as you enter into this next day. After just having finished "Heaven is for real" I have a renewed excitement about what God has in store for each and every one of us and an even greater understanding that we have to let go of the things we cannot control and let God take over. I cannot help but to laugh a little at something an older lady I was caring for told me once. She said, "if you'd quit trying to figure everything out and fix everything, God wouldn't have to work so hard to answer your prayers." Pure genius!! It's the times we truly just give it all to Him that are prayers are most clearly answered.

I just found your website from a new friend on facebook. There's a lump in my throat where I hear the recent news. My only son is 19 mo old, and I struggle only with his newfound independence. I forget sometimes how blessed our family is.
Christine
4/23/2012 04:24:13 am
As a parent myself, my heart aches beyond words for both of you. There is no greater love on this planet than the one a parent has for their baby. Swaddle Noah in your love. Along with God's grace, he will find comfort and peace there. Be strong for one another, only you two know the depths of this pain. My family will continue to hold yours in prayer. God Bless you all.
Amy Byrket
4/23/2012 04:46:28 am
My heartbreaks as I read today's results. I will continue to pray with you all and for you all through this. I pray that God will wash over you all with his presence and peace, peace that is beyond our imagination. praying dear Heavenly Father that you will give Noah peace and comfort and healing. We know your healing in Heaven is the ultimate reward, though those left behind ache at the thought of these sweet parents having to give over their son so young. We ask to watch Noah grow and strive and do your work here on earth. Your Will be done father, we know this is your plans but your scripture says to ask and receive, please hear our pleas for Noah to grow up and be a great man of God under the care of Jessica and John David. In Jesus name we ask these things of you Amen

I read your post, I called Mr.Van, talked to Will, and called the girls to read your post. My prayers are with you all. I am asking God to pray for you since my heart can't begin to focus on what to say. Romans 8:26. I posted on our church page and FB asking people to pray for a miracle. It is well within God's power and we will continue to call on His healing powers.We send our love,our hugs, but most of all we send our prayers!. 4/23/2012 11:19:05 am
I am just devastated by your news!!!! Oh, how I hate cancer!!! I don't know what tomorrow holds for Noah, but I know WHO holds it!! He is faithful!! I pray he will comfort you, give you wisdom and discernment on how to proceed!!

my prayers continue. i have to say it is clear God gave Noah to you in particular, to guide him to this place he is now. there are no mistakes...He knew you would make this journey about love, trust, prayer. you all have inspired many to pray day in and out, and that is a gift in itself.
Anne

We will continue to pray for you. Amen.

I know I do not know you or your family, but am a part of the family of God. I watched the video and read the post from yesterday. Touches my heart greatly. The reason I say that, is right now I am in Florida at the University of Florida Proton Institute as my husband is being treated for Chordoma Cancer at the C-3 level in his neck. I see little kids every day coming in and out of there recieving treatment because they have already had surgery and more surgery is no longer an option or they have had surgery and have to finish it off with this treatment. I am wondering if this type of treatment would be an option for your little boy Noah. Here are a few links for you to check out and talk to Noah's doctors about.

Hi, my name is Julie from Fort Collins Colorado. My friends Ryan and Amy Green posted about your son on their blog asking for prayer. I've spent the last hour learning about Noah, crying and praying over him. Your hearts for the Lord are absolutely inspiring - thank you for sharing your with us so honestly. You have touched my heart. The Lord's bride, your brothers and sisters in Christ, are standing with you in intercession. I pray that we will be strong on your behalf when you can't be. May God's peace cover and fill you today.

Oh the power of God and the nudge from social media. I have not heard of your story until today and I read with tears in my eyes. Your never ending faith and love for the Lord and your son is honorable. I pray that your decision comes to you peacefully and I pray for Noah and your family.

4/26/2012 12:35:31 am
as i prayed about you guys last night God reminded me that 'we walk by FAITH, not by SIGHT'. i truly believe that God has great plans for Noah and if there is anyone on earth that can make the best decision about his care its you guys. I'm sorry that people are telling you what you should have done differently or what you should do now. I'm sure that weighs on you already. Just know that there are people out there that know you are after God's perfect will no matter how it looks to the outside world. Your faith and devotion to your God humbles me. You remind me that i should trust Him with so much more in my own life. I pray for peace in this storm, and rest and encouragement for you and your families.

4/26/2012 11:14:55 am
Jessica, I have never met you however i have been following Noah's story for a while now, now to mention i pray for you guys daily. I cannot begin to imagine the agony you feel right now. I have a daughter with severe epilepsy and she has been on life support 4 different times and that does not even come close to what you are going thru. I do know God has showed me many times he is the great Physician however that does not help a mother's aching heart. When it comes to our children we are selfish and there is nothing wrong with that, God understands. He's selfish with us. I know there are no words that can comfort your aching heart right now, I know when my daughter was on life support and we were not sure of the outcome to be honest at times it would aggravate me when people would say Gods will be done. I didnt want to hear that, that was my baby and child and i wanted her here with me. I know more than anyone sometimes there are no words. At this time God did heal my daughter however I live everyday knowing that there could come a time she might not survive her seizures because they are so severe. I do put it her in God's hands and I remind myself often that he actually loves her more than I do. I have no words that will truly comfort you except this, you know your sweet baby boy and the decisions you make will always be the right ones, dont ever doubt that and just know there are people out here praying for you, David and Noah and even though we have never met, we are sisters in Christ and I will continue to pray for you daily...Love in Christ...Mj

I agonize over what to feed my sons for dinner, over what they should learn, what they should play. I can't imagine how tough it is to make the kinds of decisions that you two have to make. I think you are amazing, amazing people. I pray that the decisions will come to you as easily as possible, and I pray that all of you will continue to have many many more wonderful days together. I think of Noah everyday, and I pray for him, and I am not one who prays often or for just anything, but I pray for Noah as often as he pops into my head.
Susan and Jim Owens

Jessica and John David - We lift you and Noah up in prayer for His healing, Peace, Love, and your continued Faith and Trust in Him for Noah's sweet life. We pour out our hearts with love to you. We are praying without ceasing for Noah's cancer to be gone! And above all for God's Peace to drown you both in His Love.. Will be looking for all of you in Church. So much comfort there.

We are still taking this journey with Noah and your family and continue to pray for a miracle for your precious boy. I took the time (thankfully) to watch David's sermon. I am a "traditional" Catholic and our homilies tend to be so different from a more "modern" Christian, community type church. This sermon hit home on SO many levels. The raw honesty of David made it come to life. Your son is so blessed to have you as his parents, your church, so blessed to have David as a pastor. God is living in each of you, so clear and so evident to me. If I lived down south, I'd be running to hear David preach God's word. I truly hope your faith is an unending source of comfort to you in the days ahead. I have an 11 year old boy who would like to send Noah a note ... what is the best way to do that? In prayer, Christine

I will continue to pray for Noah. He is such a strong little boy, and your faith encourages me so much. I am a childhood cancer survivor. So i truly have a heart for those with cancer. I know God has a plan and a purpose for Noah. And your family has touched so many hearts and i think brought us all closer to God that has kept up with all the obstacles you have overcome. Someone on my facebook page suggested we add Noah to the Caring Bridges prayer page, i didnt know if anyone had added him to it or not. I will add him if i can figure out how, if no one else has. Love to you and your family <3

I don't know you but my heart aches for your family. Having lost a child I know that sometimes people's comments can hurt deeply. I pray that you will not be hurt in that way. Everyone says, at one time or another, "If it were me, I'd do ...". The truth is, we don't know what we'd do until we are in that situation. As Noah's parents I know that you have done, and are continuing to do, everything you can for you child. Sometimes it is out of our hands. That is where our faith comes into play. My prayer is that Noah will have physical comfort, that he will have more time to enjoy his toys and relish the love of his family. I also pray for you, Jessica and John David, that you will have the physical strength you need each day and that God will give you peace in knowing that Noah will be healed either on this earth or in a better place where there is no pain. My church family in Montana, where Rick and Sandra Welty once ministered, are praying for your family, as well. Hold tight to each other as you hold tight to God's promise.

Just know i am still praying for Noah , and praying for him to get some relief from this pain he is now, so that he can enjoy being with his family and his toys. I dont know why this is happening, but i know the Bible tells us that All things work together for those that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. So what the enemy cancer means for bad God can bring good out of it, we may never understand on this earth , but one sweet day when there are no more tears and no more pain, we will understand . I pray that God's peace that passes all understanding will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Love you all in christ .

Praying that God would ease Noah's pain and comfort all of you, spiritually, physically and emotionally.

Dear Family, I have been receiving prayer requests for your son from a high school friend for some time now. Today is the first time I opened up the attachment to read about Noah. I could barely make it through. I have a 5 year old grandson who is in the best of health but just moved out of my home to be with his mom and dad (my son), who are finally back together, and ready to live on their own. I've been sitting here crying over my empty nest, then God moves me to you and Noah. He is with you and Noah. I am praying for all of you for peace, for healing, and for miracles.
Lorraine

Just read about your precious boy Noah for the first time and wanted you to know that you have another sister in the Lord praying for Noah. May the Lord bless you each one and strengthen you all in every way. May His peace that passes all understanding fill you and His Holy Spirit under gird you. Praying that the Lord brings physical comfort to Noah (and his big brother too) and that the Lord in His mercy and grace would touch Noah with His healing virtue delivering him from pain and disease. Sending Blessingsin Jesus Christ to you each one and pray that all your needs be met in every way and in every area of your lives. with Love in Christ, Lorraine

I cannot tell you on how deeply moved I am by your strength to walk through this journey. I have a 3 yr old daugther, and my heart and mind cannot wrap itself around what you have had to endure. I am surrounded by a handful of people who are going through one trial or another concerning their child/children. My heart is burdened by every story. You guys will be in my prayers daily until Noah is healed. As a mother, I cry with tears as if it were my child and ask God for healing for Noah. God bless you for sharing your story.

Keep loving on your precious boy. Not even knowing you personally, I've asked "why"? But I trust in our God and will continue to pray for you all in the midst of unanswered questions. As you both have stated, God loves Noah more than anyone. I will trust that He is enough, His love for Noah is enough and His love for Noah's parents is enough.

Our family is praying for Noah and for your family. We are praying for strength, courage, comfort, peace, love, mercy and grace. I just have put two and two together so sorry it has taken me this long. I have just came to know Erica and Misty and on their fb page had your website link-so I went to share it and realized Noah has surgery 1.3.12 the same day as Hunter and we were in ICU waiting room-then went to 6th floor-with your company and our company we didn't get to meet and we didn't get out of room much. For that I am sorry that I just realized how close we were.

I have spent days trying to figure out what to say. The truth is, there is simply nothing that I can say that will seem right. I am sorry that you and Noah are going through this. I cannot wrap my mind around how you must be feeling. I have hit my knees several times the last few days (and months), and I wont stop now. I am praying that they are able to get Noah's pain under control and that you are able to take him home where he will be the happiest. I am praying for strength and peace for you as parents. You have navigated therough this battle with such courage and grace and FAITH. You are all three truly an inspiration to me. 5/7/2012 12:14:33 am

You have both been such an inspiration to me with your faith. I cannot begin to understand how hard this has been for you as parents. Please know that I am praying each day for your family

I do not know how that I have not known Noah's story, before now. I know I have seen facebook friends comments about you, but never took the time to look at your website/blog until today. I have a Noah too, he is 12...Noah also has a 4 yr old little brother....and when I read your story, Noah's story....I could only read a little at a time, because my heart so aches for you. I can see the preciousness of this sweet life...and I truly cannot understand, but so appreciate your faith- and I say that as a christian mom. I know our children are gifts from God, but I pray his mercy on this little life and for you- his parents I pray peace & strength, and all that you need- words -I truly don't know what to say. but I pray for a miracle for your sweet Noah. You are touching lives, you have no idea the boundaries of your story. God bless you both & keep you close.

You have said before that you do not feel like the "rock" that people say that you are, but you truly are such an inspiration. I have cried through many of your posts only to be comforted by your own words. I will pray that you slide into your new routine, that Noah continues to feel better and for many more good days with him. I will also pray for strength and peace for you as parents.

A friend just posted on FB, that she thought she had had a bad 4 years, due to a divorce, until she read your story. So I clicked on her link and read your entire journey with Noah. You are such a precious family. I cannot imagine going through what you have been through. You, your husband and Noah are the strongest people and I know it has been through God's Grace. I don't know how else you could have taken this journey with as much grace, wisdom and strong faith. I am praying for strength for you all! I pray for peace and comfort...in Jesus name...Amen.

I just wanted to affirm your complete faith that God is using Noah for His glory. My family has been going through a difficult time, too, but following Noah's story and seeing how the two of you remain faithful and the indesribable peace you experience in the middle of this storm has strengthened my faith and given me hope for my own family. I am so glad I don't have to bear the burdens of this life alone. God loves Noah and his family and He loves my family too...and no matter what happens He has our loved ones in His hands. It gives me peace, too. Still praying for Noah...

Jessica, your blog of 5/11 was so special to us and soul searching. God truly has little Noah and both of you in His hands. It's right there in His word. You're so right! This is not right! NOT the order of things - as we know it on earth - But for God all is perfect. We weep for you but as we pray - I believe His promise of never leaving us and with His arms around His child - you shall be comforted. We are grateful for you all. Our prayers are continuing for Noah and you both for Peace beyond our understanding.

Thank you so much for keeping us posted. I think and pray for your family all the time and without your posts I would constantly wonder how you are doing. The strength that you exhibit in opening up your soul to perfect strangers during this painful time in your lives is amazing to me. I know without a doubt that you are strengthening my faith in the Almighty. I can only imagine the countless others you have touched.

I was so happy to hear of the great night that you had with Noah. I han't even imagine how badly you needed that. I am praying for many more days just like that. I hope that you had a good Mother's Day.

We have never met, but I learned about Noah through some friends that asked that I pray for him and his family. Please know that I earnestly pray for Noah to be healed. I also pray for physical and emotional strength for both of you and your entire family as you care for Noah and each other. He is a beautiful little boy that has the love and joy of fantastic parents and family that loves him. God bless all of you.

I don't know your family, but I wanted to say that your blogs and hopeful spirit is beautiful and broke my heart when I read them. I am a mommy of 5 children and can't imagine the pain you bear everyday. I'm praying for COMPLETE healing for Noah. Hes such a special boy I'm positive of this! Cling to His promises and Let God be glorified always. I'm also praying for continued courage and strength for you and your family. ~Love and prayers

I echo Mr. Clark's comments, that was exactly what I was going to say. Noah, through his journey, has brought so many to theirs knees and renunited those that had strayed. May God's blessings be with Noah, you and your family and allow to draw your strength from Him.

One of my friends told me about Noah on Wednesday. I put Noah on our prayer list at church lastnight. I am lifting Noah and the family up to the Heavenly Father as I pray each day. Just know that GOD is the GREAT PHYSICIAN and ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH HIM. Praying for a healing on Noah.

Hi,

I have followed Noah's story for a while now. There are no words to express the hurt that I feel for you and your family or to even begin to ease your pain. I am so sorry that this is happening to your precious son. I am praying that God will comfort you and guide you through all the difficult moments.
Beth Hinebauch
5/17/2012 04:58:29 am
Dear Family, There are no words we humans know that can help you as you are going through this heart break. Only God can heal our hearts and it is not over night. Jessica, I don't think God will fault you at all if you scream at Him and cry out to Him and ask "Why Noah?????" The only thing worse than your child hurting and not being able to stop the pain is your child dying. I've lost a child, but it was not a long painful death (it was quick, in an accident) so I won't even imply that I know what you are going through. I will repeat what I have said before and that is that I am praying for your family and you are on our church prayer list. I pray Noah will be painfree, however God chooses to do that. And I pray for your peace of mind and comfort that only God can give in times like these.

I can't imagine what you and John are feeling and going through with Noah. As a father of 3, one who is close in age as Noah, it breaks my heart. I have cried with you all and my heart is breaking. I don't know why it's happening and what to say, but I do know that God is in control and I admire your honesty and faith. May you and John be strengthened.

Just read your entire blog from start to finish. Sending you love and prayers. This song comes to mind when I think of your journey and of where you are now.

I’ve read your comments on several other days but today is the one that brought me to the comments section. I saw a little of myself as I remember watching the progressive loss of body function in my husband who had a brain tumor. I trust you can feel my tears as I hurt with you & pray for you and celebrate the small moments of alertness you are able to ponder and put in your heart (as Mary did with the gifts brought before her on that glorious night). I don't believe we have ever met but I know you because of those who love your family at Friendship UMC. I wish I had the words to tell what my heart wishes to express to you but I can only trust the Holy Spirit spoken about in Rom 8:25-26. May God bless you and your family and provide you all with everything you need.

I remember last summer watching Jessica and Monty running after Noah at Lighthouse. He wore them out!!! I don't know what to say, except my heart hurts for you. We don't understand this path, but I pray for the day that Noah has no more pain, no limits, full sight and can run like the wind. And I pray that God carries you both during this time.

You are right. This is not fair. It is horrible, horrible, horrible and my mother's heart aches and breaks for you all. I have followed your blog and prayed for you for a while, but today's post led me to the comments section for the first time. I am so sorry for your deep pain that no child or parent should ever have to endure. You don't have to sugar-coat anything for any of us. God is big enough to handle your pain and anger and anguish and raw emotion. Your words have humbled me and righted my spirit. May God pour out His love, mercy, and rest on all of you.

I thought of you, Jessica, when I remembered something my cousin said to me one time. " God never gives you more than you can handle......I just wish he didn't think so much of me." You are one strong person. I am still praying for God's Grace and mercy for you, Noah, and your family.

I am friends with Jessica Jetton and have been seeing her post on Facebook about Noah for quite some time. Not until tonight did I begin digging deeper into your story. For the past three hours, I have been reading the blog with tears streaming down my face. My heart is so broken for your family and I just wanted you to know how sorry I am for your pain and suffering. Noah is absolutely adorable and most definitely amazing. What an honor to be his parents and share God's love and Word with others through him!

I cannot imagine what you are going through. My daughter at the age of 4 had to have open heart surgery because of a murmur that her pediatrician had missed all those years. Just keep a hold to your faith, and as you said Jesus is with you all every step of the way. I am a friend of Mary Ultz, I have followed along with everyone else in hopes of Noahs full recovery. I read your post 5-17-12, it brought me to tears..its once in a life time that you see someone who has so much love for God and in there immense pain still turns to him although fighting the whole way...I look at you and your husband and realize in some way that you are doing exactly what Mary and Joseph did with Jesus..your giving the most ultimate sacrifice...the torment of knowing...my love and prayers go to you and to Noah the most amazing gift you have. May God shower all of you with comfort including your sweet baby Noah. God Bless

I have not lost a child but have lost a grandchild. I understand some of the pain you feel. The pain never goes away it just lessens. My advice is to remember the very happy times as I know they were few since Noah was sick most of his short life. I will pray for strength for you as parents. God gathers his best early!
Nancy Potts
5/18/2012 03:12:23 am
I am so terribly sorry. I work with Mary Wagner and she has been faithful to update us on Noah. I have 7 grandchildren and cannot imagine the pain you must be going through. I have read your strength in your blogs, can see your faith and know your love for our Lord. Young Noah is now at the feet of Jesus, happy, healthy forever. I thank God for his short life but praise Him for the many lives he has touched in his few short years. I will pray for your family as those left behind have such a challenge now. I have lost my mother and brother to cancer, it is an evil thing but such joy for our loved ones to be in Heaven. God Bless you and strengthen you these days.

You and your family were blessed with a son who i know gave yall so much happiness and love. Im so sorry for your loss and pray for you and johns recovery into a new life.

There are NO words I or anyone can say to make your pain less or make it go away. There are no actions. As you said, even knowing Noah is in a better place doesn't make you feel better, as you want him here with you. I know when I lost my mother to cancer in 2005, all of the "i'm sorry's" in the world did not help, I didn't even want to hear it. I will continue praying for you and your family to find the strength to make it through this. I know your and John's faith is strong, and in time you will be able to smile again. For now, all you can do is be a comfort to each other. You have a tremendous support team around you, and plenty willing to help in any way they can. Use that support team and do NOT feel bad asking for any help that you may need. God bless you all.
Angela (California)

I cannot begin to imagine the loss you must feel at this moment. I don't know you but from reading your blogs it is obvious that Noah was a light in this world, and brought you immeasurable joy with his smiles and laughter and his playfulness. I pray that God will wrap you both in His arms and comfort you during your time of loss. Sending hugs and love from a sister in Christ.

Words just aren't sufficient to express my heartbreak over your loss of this precious child. I am so very sorry. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers, and will remain for a long time to come. Grief is a road that we have to walk down alone...it takes as long as it takes. People die...but the love we have for them never does. So long as we remember, our loved ones live on through us. God hold you in His loving arms and give you comfort. Know that you are not alone--we are all weeping over your loss, and rejoicing that Noah is no longer in pain and is in Heaven. May HIS peace be with you.

I came across your blog through a mutual friend. I have spent the last little bit reading, crying and praying for Noah. It was with a heavy heart that I read of his passing. It is truly amazing that this one little boy touched so many lives in his short time. May God bless you and your family.

Jess - I stayed up all night last night re-reading the blog over and over again...staring at that sweet face and feeling some fraction of your pain and joy. My favorite photo of Noah is from last February with the black and white shih tzu from the Hand in Paw program. I'm so glad that you had the last two and half years to create memories together. Next time you come to Atlanta, please let me know.

I know there are no words. I have felt a heaviness in my heart all morning and when I read of his passing my heart broke for you. I could not imagine the loss of my child. I can only speak God's comfort and love over you. May He envelope you like a blanket and continue to give you what you need to face the coming days with grace, hope, love and strength.

My heart goes out to you, for I can truly feel your pain. My granddaughter has been slowly slipping away from us for over ten years, due to a fatal genetic disorder, spinal muscular atrophy. We try to be thankful that Julia has been allowed to live almost nine years beyond what the doctors predicted, but like you, the pain and questions about "Why?" don't go away. May you find comfort in knowing that someday you'll be together eternally, minus all the suffering.

May the Lord comfort you during this time.

I work with a friend of yours, Shannon Andrews. She just told me about your beautiful boy! I am so sorry for you both. Only Jesus can comfort and I know He will. I am praying for you. We will never understand why such innocence should suffer. Noah was so precious and I'm so sorry he had to go through such a short life of pain but he is now in the lap of Jesus and the pain is gone! Hold on to the assurance you will see him again soon. Love and many prayers for the difficult days ahead!

I saw your blog last night for the first time I spent about an hour reading from the beginning to the newest post. My heart broke for you all. Then I saw the update this afternoon, I am sending my deepest condolences to your entire family. I am so sorry for your loss. Poor Noah doesn't have to suffer any more. Poor baby. My deepest sympathies! <3

My heart is broken for your precious family. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey of real, raw and precious moments with such an amazing little man. Your family has touched me tremendously and am grateful to God for guiding you all in my life. I pray for you Jessica. I am a mother of a 2 year old little boy...I have cried along side you. I've questioned my faith and each time I've had questions, your posts would answer. You are a remarkable woman of God. Thank you both for allowing so many of us a beautiful glimpse into Noah's life. He is an angel now in the hearts of so many. I pray for peace, for comfort...for insurmountable strength to you both in the coming seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks ahead. I love you both and am grateful to God for knowing Noah through his wonderful parents eyes. He has touched my heart and my life. My son, Braylen and I, have talked about Noah and prayed for him. We will continue our prayers for you, Jessica & John David. <3 God Bless

Although I do not personally know you - my heart is broken. I just don't understand faith/religion. There are no words or prayers, no scripture that will turn your cries of grief and despair into enlightenment. It is a certainty that nothing will replace your dear Noah, no rationalizing of why he is no longer with you, and no answer as to why he had to endure so much pain and suffering. Your posts testify to your love and faith but so much more of your love of your son. His spirit is now free and I am sure he will be with you throughout the rest of your lives. I grieve for you on this darkest day yet I am also relieved Noah has no more pain. May you be surrounded by friends and loved ones and be allowed to grieve at the loss and hold tight to the time you had together.

Prayers for you and yours today and in the coming days, weeks, and months. I am a first time visitor to your blog today and took the time to read each and every post. Your love and faith through this experience are amazing and inspiring. I am sorry Noah was not healed on this earth, but take comfort in knowing that he rests in the arms of Jesus, because of the faith you instilled in him. May He provide you peace that surpasses all understanding each and every day.

I have been seeing Pray For Noah but didn't know this story until yesterday when I saw a link to the story of Noah... I prayed so much for you all yesterday, last night, and today as you were truly on my heart. His name of course reminds me of Noah in the Bible. He overcame floods and destruction. By Jesus, your Noah has as well and is safe in the arms of Jesus. Also reminds me of what David said when he lost his son, "He can't come to me, but I can go to Him." And that the suffereing here on earth is horrible, but that one day GOD WILL make ALL things new. I can't imagine how u feel. I'm sorry for your hurt. I hope something I said will give some encouragement and to know that you have hope in Jesus. The song You Will Be Safe In His Arms... by Phil Wickham... such peace in His arms. May that peace be on you and your family.

Noah's story has touched me so deeply. I've followed your blog from the beginning, as a coworker attended church with you in Athens. My heart aches for you as you've had to watch your precious baby suffer and have had to let him go. You're an inspiration to me as a mother and as a Christian.My prayers will continue to be with you, as they've always been.

When I learned of little Noah's battle through FB (thank you, Pucketts), I began praying for your family immediately. And when I saw today that Noah has gone home to be with God, I felt compelled to not only lift you up in prayer but let you know that prayers are coming you way far and wide. You both seem to have such strong faith. May your faith and prayers carry you forward. And "when you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight" (Kahlil Gibran). God bless you.

So sorry,I lost my granddaughter on 21st of April. I can't imagine your pain for I look at my son the father of our sweet baby girl and her mother and my heart aches for the both of them. If the pain of a mammaw can be this deep,my goodness how could the parents endure? Without our God's help,you all can't,nor I. All I know to say is I pray He gives all of you some comfort. We will see them again.

Words can't express the deepest sympathies my heart holds for you and your family during this darkest hour. Rejoice that Noah is no longer hurting and in pain, take time for your grief and mourn. Someday the sun will shine for you again and you will feel the warmth from its rays. Please know how many people are uplifting you in prayer and collectively we are all wrapping our arms around you. I am sorry your sweet Noah was taken from you. I hate you have had to experience this loss and watch your child suffer for as long as you had to watch, knowing his battle was far greater. God bless you and your family. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. 5/18/2012 08:25:48 am

Such sad news about Noah. I remember JohnDavid bringing him to our house one afternoon just for a break, and Noah and I blew bubbles. He laughed so much that day!! And then he found Dana's orange Harley!! John David put him up on the seat and Noah made motorcycle "sounds"!! He was such a happy little boy! Amazing how we can be so sad at his passing, but so glad about where he is going. You are all in our prayers. So sorry .

Part of my daily routine over the past few months has been to check in on Noah each morning and each night. I knew as soon as I saw his full name what that meant. My heart is breaking for you both. Tonight, my family will pray that Noah left this world surrounded by the two people he loved and cherished the most, his dedicated and ever faithful parents. We pray that you may find comfort in each other in the days ahead as only you know what this is like. We pray that the many friends and family can give you strength, love, and share the burden of your sorrow. Although I am only a "friend" via social media, please know my love and prayers for you are deep. God Bless, Christine

Just want you to know how sorry I am that little Noah isn't with you any longer. I have followed your paths since the beginning and have prayed for you often. I am in tears. I just lost my nephew and know that all the things that people say at this time do not help. I just want you to know that I am thinking of you and am praying for you and my heart breaks for you. I cannot begin to imagine what you have been through and are going through at this time. Please take comfort in knowing that your little angel touched so many lives and your family guided and directed so many people to do the right thing just because you shared your lives and your little miracle with us. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. Patty Arra

Praying for you, my sister.

I don't know you personally but I've been following your story. I'm so very sorry for your loss. No parent ever wants to lose a child - my parents lost a son and I lost a brother 10 years ago. Although he was grown, it was and still is very difficult. I pray that God will give you and your family the strength to go through this terrible time in your life. God bless you and your family. I know little Noah is in heaven!

After following your blog for weeks, I was sad but not surprised to read of Noah's death today. My husband and I will be praying for you both during these next days and weeks. Continue to be honest about your pain and struggle...it honors God far more than pretending and sugarcoating. He loves those who wrestle because he's not afraid of our honesty and He sees every tear you cry.

I do not have adequate words for you right now. All I know to say is I can't imagine the overwhelming grief and unspeakable sorrow you both are experiencing. I am SO SORRY and I ASSURE you that I will ask my entire church to lift you guys up in prayer this Sunday. I pray that the peace of God Himself will flood your heart and mind with sustaining comfort and grace.

I am so sorry - you have been on our church prayer chain this last week. I will continue to pray for your family. When you wrote that Noah said "Jesus says you are taking good care of me" it made me break down and cry but was assuring that Jesus was right there with him. Your courage to share your so real feelings was amazing. God Bless and keep you both.

I have a 5 year old son myself and I just learned about what lil Noah had to go through and how strong he still was until the end. I sit here with tears..feelign the urge to grab my son, hug him and tell him I love him...My heart and prayers go out to you and your family...you have been strong all this time and Noah was blessed to have parents that are there with him through all he had to face. There are no words that can possibly help you in your situation right now, the only thing I can say is that I will keep you in my prayers and I pray for GOD to give you the strength you need in these trying times. Noah was called home way too soon, but he will always be watching over you now...

Every day will bring more healing, a little more comfort. Through your tears you will see the joy and honor of parenting the Lord's Light Bearer. Through Noah we will be all one step closer to the glory of Ascension. I pray that your heart and soul reaches comfort in the days, weeks and into the years. Noah will be waiting for all of us whom he touched. Of this I have testimony of. Thank you for sharing your journey with your web family. Namaste'.

You all have been an inspiration to me as you have walked the path that no one wants to walk and staying strong in your belief. I know you have help so many by sharing your struggles. As Noah would say it just hurts my heart that you had to go through this. Keeping you in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of sweet little Noah's passing. He is the same age as my Jonah. My heart breaks and I weep for you. I pray for His comfort over you during this excruciating time.

John and Jessica, sometimes I would come home from work and would have thought about you and Noah all day. Another friend I work with her mom is dear friends with John's mom so her and I would talk about Noah. I would come home to read the blog which were amazing to be able to hear from you, your thoughts, your realness, your love. John you know the struggle I had with Joey for 11 yrs, after it was all over I had to find things to read to remind me of the goodness of God, I read Disappointment with God by Phillip Yancey (my favorite author) and When Your World Falls Apart (seeing past the pain of the present) by David Jeremiah. That just helped me to deal a little better with my real feelings of disappointment and hey the scripture says this but hey it didn't happen. I love how real your blogs are and please keep it real so you my begin to deal with the thoughts you are going to have about what you have just been through. All my love to the Crowe family at this time. Kathy

I have followed your blog for almost a year, reading from the beginning at first to catch up. Your testimony of God's love has convicted me each time I read an update. Have I even a tenth of the character you have while training him up in the way he should go? That's what has hit my heart from the very beginning, that your little Noah and my son were only 3 months apart in age. I hurt for your loss. When I read he was losing his sight and ability to speak, I prayed for mercy and pain-relief in these final days. Learning of his passing was a punch in the gut. God bless you as you find a way to journey on, just the two of you again.
Monica Hunt

What can I say? I cannot offer any words of comfort. I'm sure you have deaf ears. I cannot ease your pain. I'm sure your body is numb. I cannot lighten your load though I'm sure your heart is heavy. I cannot show you that the sun will still set tonight and rise again tomorrow. I'm sure your eyes no longer wish to see.

I have been following your story as our friend has posted your blogs over the past many months. My heart was with you and your family in an instant, and I spent many moments crying out for you and crying with you. On your May 17th post, I was unable to finish reading. Your pain comes through your words with powerful reality. I sobbed and had my husband lead us in prayer. Momma, my heart is with you. I have no words of comfort. You already possess every word within you that I could ever speak. May the comfortor bring you the peace that passes all understanding. Your baby boy, Noah, is forever in my memories and I look forward to witnessing your reunion. Rest in His strength, sweet family.

Without any ability to understand your family's pain, I can humbly offer my prayers and be angry with our God's plan right now. Makes no sense to me but I'll trust in the Lord for this plan. I'll trust without understanding.
Mary Dew
5/20/2012 11:28:36 am
My thoughts and prayers continue for you now and in the days ahead. I surely don't understand, but believe that God loves Noah more than you both and loves you both more than you could ever know. Our Relay for Life is June 1. I made a luminaria with Noah's name that will be lit in his memory. I wrote his name in red and put a red robot sticker and Toy Story stickers on the bag. I'm sorry I didn't have Star Wars stickers, but I hope he liked Toy Story. My Sunday School class is praying for you and your family. May you feel the strength and comfort you need in the love of your Lord and Savior.

Jessica and John David, There truely is no pain like the pain of losing a child. Some of us lose them quickly. For others like you it takes years of drs., surgeries, and suffering. I was one that lost mine quickly in an accident. I can not imagine months that turn into years of praying for healing for your child and be left empty armed. But, because of Jesus we know that Noah did beat his cancer. He beat death because of Jesus. Noah is no longer sick. He no longer has tremendous headaches. He no longer has to face yet another surgery. Noah is healed and happy. Now it is your turn to be healed of a broken heart. Your healing will come, but it won't be quick. It will be like Noah's illness and take weeks, months, even years. But, unlike Noah, you will get a little healing each day. At first it won't be noticeable. It will be weeks before you realize that you smiled or laughed without forcing it. Or that you were able to focus on something for more than a minute without your mind going back to Noah. Trust me--if you trust God with your heart and your hurt and your relationship with each other He will be faithful to heal your hearts. All who have prayed for Noah over the course of his illness will be praying for both of you and your extended families. I pray you can "feel" their arms around you and get strength from the love perfect strangers have for your family because of Noah. 5/21/2012 02:22:01 am
I am a friend to Grand Mother Betty Joe Douglas. she told me about Noah passing as s result of Brain cancer. I felt to deeply painful for him having passed through all that he did and Our Lord called him home. Please, accept my sympathy and prayers for your emotional healing and stability even in the face of this challenge.

I am so sorry to hear of Noah's passing. There are no words to mourn the loss of a child; there is only shared pain. You are not alone. My love to you all.

for ninteen yrs i have been waiting for god to take away the gift that he gave me. an now she's graduating high school an full of life. it's a very hard life to live the waiting game an i'm very sorry that ur waiting is over. i have followed this story since it first appeared in the paper. yall are very strong people to live this live of waiting with god. i always pray for strength an for courage because without those two thing's i can't get a grip on "why" or "how come" an i never do ask those questions. just know that our idea's of blessings an god's ideas of blessing may not always be the same this is his world an he makes the choices we just have to live with them. some we like an others we hate,but there god's choices to make. don't quit, keep fighting god is listening. i always tell my daughter god's just trying to make us stronger we can handle this. when she was born they told me she was never gonna make it an i said god hasn't gave up an niether am i. i told god as long as she has a breathe i will take whatever you give me,and i have to admit some days i wish i hadn't said that cause she has done alot of suffering in ninteen yrs. i know the suffering was the hardest to bare,he has no more suffering he's laughing an playing non-stop now. god gives us suffering where we will give up cause we don't wanna see them suffer anymore. so we can accept what's going to happen, but i don't think we realize it does help us let go till were to mad to see it's what needed to happen. i love your blogs. your a very strong woman an i pray that god gives u strength to continue thru life's journay's. an courage to do it without your strong lil'man. GOD BLESS YOU.

I work at Huntsville Hospital Foundation and learned about you and sweet Noah through a Board member who has been following your blog. I just read the entire blog, from the beginning, and my heart breaks for you. Your faith and grace throughout this unimaginable journey are truly amazing, and I know you and Noah have touched lives and changed lives with your testimony. I pray that God will give you strength during this time, and that wonderful memories of your precious little boy will give you comfort. God bless you. Candy Burnett, Huntsville

This is the first time that I have read about your son Noah. I have seen post sbout Pray for Noah and today i clicked on the site that was on facebook. I am praying for you and your husband, and as i sit here typing this message while tears are running down my face , I am glad to know that i now have an angel in heaven by the name of Noah that will be looking down on me. May God give you Peace and Strnght while you are going through this storm. Just like you siad: Peace Be Still. Let me first say that I know that there aren't any words that will comfort you during this time. I almost didn't want to write in the guestbook for that reason but I felt in my heart that you should know what I'm about to tell you. I've heard several stories similar to yours and often I will say a prayer and, as harsh as it sounds, continue on with life as normal. However, Noah's case was different. I first heard about Noah's story on May 17, 2012. I don't do well with hearing stories like this about children so at first I opted not to read it, but for some reason I couldn't shake it...so I read. Immediately I went into prayer and I was overwhelmed with emotion. At 3am mountain time on May 18, 2012, the SPIRIT woke me up to pray for Noah - to lift him before the FATHER. I was anxious the entire day until I got news of his passing. It is extremely rare that the LORD wakes me up in the early hours of the morning to pray, but HE did for Noah. Since the day that I've heard of Noah, I have not missed a day in praying for your family. Noah has stamped my heart like only few people have and I've never met your family. That's GOD. I say all of this to say that HE hears, HE sees, and HE knows. Nothing you all have experienced or are experiencing has escaped his knowledge. Know for certain that there will be joy again, there will be peace, and there will be comfort. Rest in CHRIST. Peace be with you.

I have not stopped praying for and thinking about you two. I have mourned with you, crying many tears just knowing the immense pain and darkness you are feeling. And I don't even know y'all. But we will spend eternity together, and I look forward to meeting Noah in Heaven when my time is through on this earth. 5/22/2012 10:38:03 am
this is rose, ann's mother. john, we met you when ann and heath were in college. i know of no words to give you comfort. know that we have had you in our thoughts and prayers during this time. i do not think i have EVER known of anyone with as much faith as the two of you. you are an inspiration. jessica your blogs were wonderful. how you have managed to put all your feelings into words for all to see, to me, is unimaginable. have no regrests. cherish your memories. with God's help, you will heal.

My prayers and love go out to you and your family!

John and Jessica, I think about you guys often throughout the day and pray for God to somehow reach down and take away your pain and loss and emptiness that you must be feeling. As a mother, I can't being to imagine and have no words, but I cry everytime I think of your pain and what you are going through. We won't be able to come to the memorial service but I wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you and will continue to pray for you both. Lots of Love!!!

My 4 year old daughter told me that she dreamed last night that I was was high in the sky wearing a beautiful dress. She said I wasn't dead, and that I got to meet Noah. She said, "Mommy, Noah wasn't dead in the dream, and his parents were with him in Heaven and they weren't dead either!"

Even though I have never met you, I have cried and prayed for you continually since Noah's passing. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to pray for his healing before he passed. To say I am heartbroken for you is an understatement. I hug my kids tighter and longer because I know you don't have that option anymore.

Hello I havent commented on here previously but i have been following sweet Noahs story and praying nonstop. My heart is so heavy as I read your last post and you speak of the unbearable pain you are feeling as I know that pain all to well, we just passed our 4 year mark of our 3 and a half year old daughter being in Heaven,(she had a brain aneurysm) and that pain is so real and it a part of you that is always there. I just want you to know that from one grieving mother to another I know your pain I am here if you want/need to talk I know you dont know me but I also know sometimes you need to talk to someone who can understand your pain. Just let your grief happen dont hold it in to take care of everyone else! My prayers are with you and you can contact me anytime if you would like to. (we live in Athens too) Hugs to you tonight.

Thank you for sharing Noah's life through this site. I have just finished watching his memorial service, or better, his life's celebration. What a tribute, what a life he lived. As I listened to the song Forever Reign, then to the chaplin's story of Noah bounding, running down the hall, I imagined little Noah at the moment he took that last breath, bounding, running down the streets of gold to the loving arms of Jesus. No more sorrow, no more pain, forever in His arms.

I learned of Noah's passing last week from a friend's Facebook post. I hadn't previously heard of Noah, so I spent the next few hours reading through your blog and looking at the pictures and videos of Noah. What a beautiful little boy. My heart breaks for you! I can't begin to imagine your grief. I have been checking your site, and was able to watch Noah's celebration service tonight, and was again blessed to hear your testimony of faith in Jesus despite this terrible loss. Thank you for taking the time to share with countless strangers your struggles and pain, but also your joy and faith in Jesus. You have ministered to me and touched my life in ways I could never explain. I am praying for your peace and comfort during this time. God bless you.

Just had the honor to sit, without distraction, and watch the celebration of life for your sweet boy Noah. One of the most worshipful, touching, raw, joyous, celebrations of an amazing boy. Your journey has challenged my own faith journey in a real way. I pray that you guys eventually find the energy to LIVE each day all out. Until then, I pray for you as you grieve and learn your unwanted but new normal.

I was so glad you had Noah's memorial service streamed live. I had planned on attending, but circumstances prevented that. So I was able to watch and worship and honor Noah in my own home. My heart was with you though. I lit a candle during the memorial too. I lift you and your family up daily to the Lord. "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms."

John David and Jessica, I am so very sorry for the agony that you are experiencing right now. I have thought of you both so many times since Noah's homegoing to heaven. I have not been asked to walk the road you are walking so I give my faltering words of comfort without empathy. I don't know you, but Noah's memorial service was one of the most real services I have ever seen. Full of joy and raw sorrow. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. It gave me a glimpse into that little boy that you miss so much. May you know that our great God is bottling every tear and recording each one (Psalm 56:8).

John David and Jessica, I recently learned of Noah's journey and passing through Hunter Alexanders Facebook page. I would like to express my sorrow for the passing of your darling little boy, Noah. He looked like a little angel walking on earth and I am sure that is what he is now in heaven with Our Lord. All of my prayers are with you at this time. Just know that you have your own guradian angel now looking out for you. God bless you both. 6/2/2012 02:15:41 pm

I am praying for your hearts this morning! That god would give you strength to go on to live for noah! Jesus is with you, he will never leave you or forsake you, he hears you and he loves you! Hugs!
I just found and read your blog today. I have been crying and praying for your family for a while now. Tears of sorrow for Noah who I know you guys miss so much, but also tears of joy for your faith in your Lord and savior. Your experience is a ministry to others and it gives me peace to know your little man is in Gods arms, pain free, basking in the joy that comes with being a believer in the presence of God. Please know that your family is in my families prayers every night. Stay strong and steadfast in your faith

Please cry all you want and need to -- just let the tears flow like a river. Every tear helps to release that very human need to feel. Never hold them back -- they are gifts as well as all the prayers being lifted asking for comfort for Sweet Angel Noah's Mom, Dad, and all his loving family and friends.

Jessica -- Thank you for sharing your heart with us. I think of and pray for your family often. Your words are so insightful and I take to heart your viewpoint on the healthy aspect of grief -- and pushing through it to lean on Him. It's heart-breaking and raw and difficult and unfair, but also beautiful. I will lift you and your grief up before our Lord, and pray that you will continue to be swaddled in His embrace during this time of mourning and meditation on how you'll continue to follow Him and look to Him in all things. Love, your sister in Him ~ Kristi

We continue to pray for you every day. I can't begin to imagine the pain from you loss. Your sharing Noah's story and God's work in your life has positively affected the lives of so many people. The bulk of your impact will forever remain unknown to you. I run into so many people in town who either know you guys or just know Noah's story. So many people know his courage and your faith. What an awesome legacy.

I still think of you so often. When I hear people complaining about their children, I just want to yell, "just love them! Life is so precious!".... And sometimes it just hits me, what it would be like if my children weren't here, and your pain hits me. It's like I just want to take some of that pain off of your shoulders, as ridiculous as that sounds. So, this is rambly, but it is just honest. Love to you, and prayers for you.
Jessica, The Lord laid it on my heart to check this site today to see if there was an update since Noah went to be with Jesus. I read with an aching heart how different life is for you and John David. I truly cannot imagine the depth of grief you are suffering. I grew up in the DR Congo and I believe the Congolese have mourning right. The village comes to grieve and WAIL with the bereaved. There is no polite conversation or platitude given. The grieving family is not responsible for being strong nor for holding back on their emotions. Believer or not, the Congolese cry until they are hoarse and hover close to the family. I believe it helps start the family well on the pathway of grief they will face.

Jessica and John David, I pray for you often and my heart aches for your pain. I read this today and thought of you both. You have transparently and honestly clung to the Lord through all of this and I have been so blessed as you have wrestled to remain true to who God says that He is. Thank you for not giving up and living life 100%. May his mighty hand be with you today to give you what you need and remind you of His love.

Thought I would let you know that I shared Noah's story today with a family in our parish who are sharing their final days with their son. He is a 3rd grader and has been battling cancer since April. They continue to send Andrew to school, at his request, with a full time aide and are providing him as many life experiences as his body is able and willing to let him endure. Although I don't know you personally, this couple reminds me so much of you guys. Andrew's parents share an incredible faith and you see that faith in the way Andrew is handling and accepting his fate. As an outsider, it makes me want to scream, this is not right! This is not fair! These are good people! This child has so much to offer! I can't imagine how they must feel or how you must have felt. But .... I know this, I shared your live life to 100% mantra with them and I think it provided comfort. So .... you and Noah still continue to teach and touch others. We pray for you often and hope you have had a touch of healing in the past few months.

Just wanted to stop in to say I continue to pray for your family often. Although I never had the privilege of meeting him, Noah and his bravery have touched me in the deepest parts of my being. May God continue to bless you all as He holds your sweet boy in His arms.

Just dropped by to let you know that I am still praying for you. Plus the fact that seeing Noah's sweet face on this site makes me smile. And sometimes I just need to smile.

Thinking of you on this holiday, I can't imagine how difficult it must be. Thankful that you shared your sweet warrior with us. I am a better person for having been able to witness his (and your) strength through this site.

Thinking of you and your sweet boy on this Christmas. I hope it brings some small measure of comfort knowing Noah is celebrating his King's birthday with him tonight. 1/4/2013 10:45:34 pm
We continue to pray for you guys. Noah is a fixture on our refrigerator and in our hearts. Not a day goes by that we don't think of him, and you. Thanks for continuing to blog about your struggles and life, it's an amazing ministry to so many of us.

Felt very strongly to pray for you tonight. There is another sister in Christ lifting you up in prayer, remembering your precious boy and praying for you to feel comfort from the savior tonight.

Thank you for stopping by from time to time and sharing your thoughts with us. I still visit this blog and smile at the pictures of Noah, a little boy I never met, but whose life touched me greatly. I pray for you and your family and for God's continued love and support.

Hi, i came across your blog while searching for Choroid plexus carcinoma blog. My son just passed away 2 months ago after battling the same cancer as Noah for 2 years. Thank you for writing this blog. I truly relate to what you felt and wrote. Now, i am glad that my son, Ben and Noah can play together in heaven till we meet them again when the time comes.

Tony & I are continuing to pray for you and David. I'm sorry you have to hurt this way and even sorrier that people are posting things on here without obviously having read the entire blog. May God guard your hearts. Comments are closed.
