Make A Wish

 Last night Make A Wish along with Chik Fil- A La Habra threw an incredible wish reveal party.  Noah was completely overwhelmed and had no idea what was going on and why his close friends and family were yelling Surprise!!  Six months ago Make A Wish came to our home to interview Noah and find out what his wish was.  Noah had a hard time coming up with something but knew he loved going on vacations with his family.  After some narrowing down and some time to think it over they helped him come up with a few options.  Noah was excited thinking of the possibility of his wish coming true  sometime after his Transplant.  Little did we all know that this would become a reality before

Transplant.  I received a call just two weeks ago from Make A Wish saying that they have received approval from our doctors and were ready to book Noah's trip.  WOW!! I was excited but reluctant because I needed to talk to the doctors myself to find out if this was really a good idea.  Our doctors were so excited for Noah.  They recommended we go now while Noah could eat whatever he wanted, not have to lug a ton of medication around, and we wouldn't have to worry about signs of rejection.  What about getting the Call?  His doctors said we will take him off the list while you are away and he wont lose any time he will go back on when we return to the same position.  They encouraged us to take lots of pictures and make lots of memories.  WOW!!!  So we are listening to our doctors and leaving this Saturday. Yes you read that right this Saturday!!  Last night Make A Wish revealed to Noah that they are sending our family on a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas.  I loved seeing my sweet boys face when he found out we could go away before his transplant.  To say we are grateful is such an under statement.  We do not feel deserving of these blessings and it has been overwhelming to see how many people made this party and trip possible.  We just can't thank you all enough.  What a gift that we will remember forever.






Please pray that we would be able to relax, pray for good health for Noah, and that we would use this blessing for God's glory.
