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.

Saturday update from Mom

Mom: "After installing the shunt, Noah developed some fluid on the left side of his head and it had to be aspirated, although the shunt is working.  There were several incisions made to guide the drain for the sh
unt from his brain down to his stomach. The good news is that Dr. Tabrizi checked his CT scans this morning and there was no extra fluid inside or outside of the bone flap.  3 brain surgeries in 3 and a half months is a lot for anyone;  Noah has handled it like a champ and we are so proud of him.  Today, his spirits are good, although we are all really anxious to get home.  It looks like the earliest we can go home is Monday, because Dr. Tabrizi wants to monitor him for a couple more days. All his sutures and staples will come out in a timely manner, and he will be as beautiful as ever!GO NOAH GO!"
