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.

Tuesday Morning

Day 8: Noah's temperature elevated somewhat last night, but they have sucessfully brought it back down. He is now shivering again, which shows an automatic reflex (a good thing).Noah still has elevated levels of pentobarbital in his system, so his emergence from sleep will take longer than today. We're all so terribly appreciative of your thoughts, positivity, and prayers; we are all fighting together to hold him in the light. E Kawika, makaukau 'oe, e ala e!

  1. My church is praying - that whether it be in form of healing or other unfathomable but wonderful ways, God will touch and guide Noah's health and mindset as well as your family's. May His peace that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7) be with you all!

  2. Thank you for posting updates and allowing us to follow the progress Noah is making. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers and please tell Noah that I'm thinking about him and cheering him on in his fight to get better.

  3. I just figured this out.

    Just want you to know, sometimes when our world stops we think that it is just us going through it, but my world stopped last Tuesday, and Noah has been in my thoughts and prayers, beating the drum, praying and thinking of all of you since then and always. Life isn't back to normal until Noah is.

    Great to see all of you. The world of your community is there.

    Love,
