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.

Friday Morning

Yesterday turned out to be quite an eventful day. Noah is talking up a storm. He's having a tough time remembering things -- and he is having some trouble speaking. That said, when his mother walked into the room, he said "Mom! Where have you been!" and when his father walked into the room, he said "Dad, I love you." Of course when I walked into the room he said "Louie, unlock these!" (he's in restraints). And I had to say... "Noah, I'm your brother Adam." He didn't really understand that (he spent 6.5 hours calling me Louie), except for one moment when he got mad at me and said "Adam! Stop it!" (I proceeded to dance around the room with joy, but 3 minutes later he called me Louie again... and proceeded to for the next 5 hours). To give some context, Louie is Noah's close friend with whom Noah was playing video games the night before his rupture.

Noah continues to be extremely restless, having not slept a wink last night. He still cannot tell us what year this is nor hold up 2 fingers, but what amazing progress from where we were!

Everything is moving in the right direction -- we now need everyone's thoughts to push him to the next level. Let's hope that confusion gives way to clarity; clarity gives way to articulation. C'mon NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
