Noah's Story

Noah  was born December 23, 2008, weighing 9lbs and 1oz by
emergency c-section at 8:51am. Noah did not breathe or have a heartbeat for
the first 13 minutes of his life. He was taken to Children's Hospital in
order to have a procedure done known as "brain cooling" in attempts to
minimize damage caused by perinatal asphyxia.

Noah's brain cooled for 72 hours after which time the hospital ran an MRI
and an EEG to determine the extent of the damage. Unfortunately, the results
came back with devastating news. Noah had suffered "global damage" to his
brain. As a result the prognosis was grim. They said Noah would mostly
likely never walk, talk, eat or even breathe on his own.

Today, Noah has the diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy resulting
in spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy with athetoid movements. Noah's
miracle has brought our story to all of you.

"Thank You"

Noah received a breathtaking quilt from Love Quilts. Noah's Love Quilt is filled with beautiful patches each designed and hand cross-stitched by people from all over the world.   We picked one of the big loves of Noah's life - Christmas, as the theme.  That is one true thing that brings him tremendous joy year-round.  You will often find Santa Claus movies playing in the middle of a July in 90 degrees, and Christmas bells on our living room floor on any given day.  If we aren't successful in making Noah happy with Mr. Tumble or his UK television shows, we know without fail that Santa will do the trick. The quilt is so soft and plush and you can literally feel the labor of love that was poured into making it. It's something that Noah will treasure for a lifetime.  And I think will provide memories that he will cherish forever - that one very special quilt. Thank you for making such a difference in Noah's life.
