- As most of you already know, on July 28 my brother had an Arterio-Venous Malformation (AVM) which ruptured in his brain and had to undergo emergency brain surgery to remove it. We've created this website to give everyone brief updates on his status because it has been difficult to keep everyone up-to-date. There aren't words to describe the gratitude we feel for the outcry of support and love that has been shown for Noah. We also appreciate all of the positive energy and prayer that has been directed his way -- and truly believe it is helping him.

July 31
Today marks 72 hours since the completion of Noah's surgery. He remains in an drug induced-coma and state of paralysis to give his brain a chance to heal. We had been told and were prepared that this general period of time might be the peak of the swelling resulting from the trauma. Yesterday we learned from Noah's angiogram that the AVM was completely removed and there was no residual bleeding. We came in this morning (Friday) to find that his brain swelling had increased some but his ICP (intracranial pressure) seems stable. He continues to fight the pnemonia in his lungs but a second bronchoscopy we authorized today extracted less mucus today than yesterday. Overall he's medically stable at this point considering the extent of his illness and the bottom line is that we remain hopeful that we can get Noah's health to a point where we can wake him up and assess where we are at. Go Noah go!

Noah and family - this is the mom, dad and sister of your roomate Jonathan. We have been praying for Noah's healing, the comfort for your whole family and the wisdom of the medical team. We have asked many of our friends to put all of you on their prayer lists - so many people that you don't even know are asking about your status and continue to pray for you. We are glad to have the website for updates and will be anxiously awaiting for the news of each day. Anyone that is important to Jonathan is important to us - May God be with each of you - Love the Orr Family
ReplyDeleteNoah and Adam:
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the updates. The love and aloha for the Yee family extends far and wide. As you know the first week of August has always been a time to meet in Hanalei Kauai for the summer retreat. It is a time, a family time that friendship, acquaintances and new friends bond together and reacquaint themselves with each of the members of your Yee family. It is a time that we share surfing, fishing, music, hula, foods, flowers and basically continue the traditions that make Hawaii a special place. As you know, the gathering was postponed for 12 months. But my family, Melva, Kawehi, and Kanani and JB missed the camaraderie of the Yee tradition. We hope to see you next year and are happy that Noah is doing well. The pictures and updates have been most heartwarming. Aloha-Mark Goto & Family
