Happy New Year everyone!
We are into the new year and already making plans for Noah's next surgery. We go back to California Feb 8th for Stage 3, left side. This time Dr. Brent will lift Noah's ear off of his head and put a skin graft on the underside. We are excited and anxious all at the same time. We have made all the arraigments for this trip and are just waiting for the date. There has been just enough money raised to get us through travel arraingements and deposits for this surgery. We will be in California for a week and a half this surgery.
On another note, Noah had an appointment with a endocrinologist today. His pediatrician is concerned about his size and the rate that he is growing. The endocrinologist didn't see anything that looked abnormal in the physical, but they are doing more tests. They took a large amount of blood today and he got a little pale and light headed, but he never teared up...even when they took the blood. He is such a big boy!
Thank you everyone for your support and we hope you have a wonderful 2011!

Here Comes Santa Claus
He told Santa that he wanted Woody from Toy Story, Bionicles, and Hero Factory Legos. Noah got some Santa socks and he had to show them off!

Update!
I have so many things to update you on...so here goes! The Zumbathon was incredible. We raised about $3,000 and it has been a tremendous help with the last trip we went on. Cyndi, Bridgett, Longview Heights Baptist Church, and all you Zumba lovers are angels. The more I think about you as I am sitting here...i just overflow with tears. You can't imagine how greatful I am for your support.
We also set up a booth at the Bridgetown Crafts Fair last month and it was a great success. We had candy and original art work. Some of you may know that my stepdad is a wonderful artists and he sold 8 of his paintings to help with Noahs Little Ears. He was so excited and we were excited for him. 
Finally, Noah just had his 3rd surgery. This surgery was stage 2 on both ears. We flew into California on Wed. (Oct 27), surgery was on Thurs. (Oct 28), and then we flew home on Fri. (Oct 29). So it was the shortest trip of all the surgeries. Noah was in surgery for about 3 hours and when he woke up we were able to go back to the hotel and rest. Well...I wanted to rest, Noah had other plans. He was ready to play with all the other kids at the hotel. When we got home Noah was able to dress up for halloween and go trick-or-treating. On Thurs. (Nov 4) we went to see a plastic surgeon here in Memphis and he took the bandages off and some of the stitches out. Noah was excited. He stopped me as we were leaving the office to look at his reflection in the window of the doctors office. I told him he could see better if we went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, so he made a mad dash to the restroom.
Noah is doing fabulous! He has such a great spirit even after everything he has been through. Oh, if we all had such childlike faith, what amazing things we could accomplish.

The Yard Sale Was a Success
The Yard Sale was a great success. We worked hard and made lots of money to help pay for Noah's new ears. We were up at 4:00am and our first lull in customers was about 1:30pm. We started packing up about 2:00pm. We almost sold everything we had. There were just a few things that we had to take to goodwill.
Thank you so much for your donations. It wouldn't have been as successful without each of you. I would like to say a special thank you to my Mom, Stepdad, Aunt, Dad, and Stepmom. I don't know what I would do with out you!

Pictures
I finally took the time to get some of the pictures from our first visit to California on the blog. To see them click on the Photo page listed above and you should be able to see all the slideshows. I will now work on getting some of the pictures from the second surgery posted.
Noah is doing so well. He has been swimming like a little fish and spending lots of time with his brother, sister, and cousins. It is really going to be hard getting him back into the routine of going to school.
