Noah is currently spending time on CH4 in a monitored bed. Preliminary tests have found a fungal infection (location yet to be determined) along with an enlarged liver and spleen. He is also retaining a lot of fluid which is not great either. Blood work does show some concerns as well.
Continue to pray for Nichole as she is spending her days advocating at the hospital. It is hard to believe that with all of the above problems, one ER doc was willing to send him home with a prescription for antibiotics (not a beneficial treatment, in fact a counter productive treatment for Noah's fungal infection). Thank goodness for Nichole willing to be there all the time and look out for him. Some may say it is over attentive, but obviously needed. Pray for energy and peace as it looks like the start of a longer stay again.

On September 21/05 we were blessed with a beautiful son. Born with a chromosome 12q deletion (q15q21.2), the challenges were many...cleft lip/palate, complex feeding issues, developmental delays, failure to thrive, multiple infections, blood clots, asthma, sleep apnea, GI and pulmonary bleeds, TPN dependency and kidney issues. Noah embraced life and taught us how to love. On July 29/09, Noah's journey ended, leaving us on a new journey...this journey on the pathway of grief...
About Me
- Nichole
- I am mom to 3 beautiful children. I also work casual as a nurse. Our life is a crazy one, and nothing like we ever expected it would be. Yet, this journey has changed me and the way I view others. And it has helped us slow down and enjoy the most precious things in life. I wouldn't trade those lessons for anything.
