At the end of December it will be five months since Noah received his new heart. We are so grateful with how well his body has responded. He has had very minimal side effects this far. He has been able to wean off a few medications, and is slowly adjusting to his new diet.
We have altered our lives in different ways in order to keep Noah safe as he slowly builds up a new immune system. Unfortunately for Noah this has meant saying no constantly to lots of fun invites. You can only imagine how hard that is for a college kid. It's a small sacrifice however in order to keep him safe. We are very aware that this is a huge gift that has been given by the love of a donor. Our hearts felt heavy knowing that this holiday season there was immense grief felt by a family who lost their loved one. We spent time praying as a family on Christmas Eve that the Lord would meet them in their grief and that they would know how deeply grateful we are to them. We are grateful to all of you as well for your continued love and support. We hope and pray that you all had a wonderful Christmas.
