Yellow Slipper Socks!

Today was another good day. Noe was alert and smiling. Noe had an appointment with occupational therapy in the morning and physical therapy in the afternoon. They worked on sitting on the edge of her bed and sitting in a chair. She got to finally touch the ground with her no-skid yellow slipper socks! Soon, speech therapy will start working with her on swallowing and communicating. Noe’s therapy sessions will take up a big part of her day. She gets very tired and needs lots of rest.

"I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you." Jeremiah 31:3b

Please pray for Noe’s complete restoration. We thank you for your continued faithfulness and prayer. Noe is not able to receive visitors at this time. We pray that you have a blessed Christmas eve.

“Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand.” Psalm 73:23

Good Morning Alex and Noe, I was reading the Blog this morning and Aidan came in and he wanted to tell you something...."God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son." John 3:16 Have a great day. We love you.

Dearest Alex,
When I went into the hospital last year for my lung cancer surgery, my sister placed a plaque beside my bed with this inscription: "I am with you. I will protect you wherever you go and will bring you back safely to this place. I will not leave you until I have fulfilled this promise I make to you". This passage from Parshat Vayeitzei (Genesis 20:15). I have just learned of your ordeal and want you to know at all times that God is with you and Noe and your children and will see you all through. There is now a synagogue in Marlton NJ saying prayers of healing for Noe and prayers of strength for you!
Across the miles with love,
Linda

Noe, I bet that never in a million years could you have imagined that simply by putting your feet on the floor (wearing those funny hospital socks),,,, or sitting on the edge of your bed,,,,, or rolling your eyes in frustration at Alex,,,,, would absolutely "make" Christmas complete for so many folks. But, it has - it absolutely has! The fact that you are finally on the road to recovery is what we have all been waiting and praying for! Go Noe! Keep it up, ok? Stay strong and you'll be home before you know it. We wish you, Alex and the boys a very merry Christmas, and we sincerely thank you for helping to remind us all what's most important! Your impact on us all has been profound. With Love,
Heather, Corey & the boys.

Go Noe! What great news you have for us today.
I was just thinking about you and Alex today as I was making (or attempting to bake) a chocolate cream pie. Remember those pie slices we shared on Oahu at Ted's Bakery. I don't think my pie is going to taste the same but I have the picture of you standing in front of the sign with your hands in the air and it sure made me smile. Don also can't wait for you to see him in his new speedo jammer at the pool. Karen, Taylor and I all got a good giggle seeing him run from the pool deck into the pool. We know you will have a good laugh too.
We love you,
Emily & Don

A blessed Christmas to you, Noe, and Alex, Noah, and Luke! The miracle of Christmas is in our hearts and even though you may not be at 'home' where you really want to be tomorrow, know that the miracle of Christmas, your Savior, is with you, and would have come to this earth just for YOU. Your continued healing is a 'gift' to us this Christmas, Noe, and we will celebrate your homecoming before you know it. Keep up the strong fight, Noe!! You are amazing!
Merry Christmas!!
Love,
Nancy Arreola

Dear Noe and Alex,
I was thinking about your family today and was overwhelmed by what you two have created. You have two boys who are able to love and give to so many. Somehow you imparted to them the ability and desire to care for others. At a very young age they both have a sense of kindness and justice that is beyond their years. We are so lucky to have your family unit on the planet because you lift others up and make us all better. You have made a difference on this planet with the two little people you brought into it and with your own kindness and sense of community.

Merry Christmas! Keep getting stronger, Noe!
