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.

Mid-day Sunday

Today came with more positive news-- unlike yesterday, Noah is beginning to digest his food, and they have begun feeding him again. They have taken him off of all sedatives for the time being so they can look for some movement. That said, the nurses have been clear that it can take some time before the pentobarbitol leaves the system (we've heard anywhere from 24 to 72 hours, or more).Noah seems to have the pnemonia and other respiratory complications relatively under control--and we hope that will remain stable. There are a lot of things to be grateful for, and we now begin a very important new stage in this process as we wait for Noah to wake up. Let's go Nooooooooaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!
