Update Page

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.

Wednesday Morning

Day 9: Dad: "Morning brought the joy of Noah opening his eyes and the difficulties associated with his partial awakening. Noah had to be sedated and his arms restrained because he wants to take the tube out of his throat-- that boy can't stand to be annoyed! Noah is definitely on the road to recovery, and when he can take "commands," Noah will be allowed to breathe on his own and we will be well on our way.

We are not allowed to see him directly nor talk to him because he gets agitated. He has no idea how much we will agitate him later on!

Your love and support is working; keep it up! We continue to remain optimistic and so very thankful for the love expressed consistently throughout this difficult ordeal."
