Good Morning!!! With help from my friends, I have lived to my 7th day, and not only that, it appears that I am on the road to living many more. My mama cried when she said 'good-bye,' but that just goes to show what a good mama I got. Dr. Kays, Dr. Snyder, and about eight of my other friends hung out in my room for a couple of hours. They put my liver, gall bladder and bowel back into my tummy. Saving babies like me is "all in a day's work" for them. But their "day's work" means a lifetime of smiles for me and my family. They deserve a boisterous round of applause.
I did ask Dr. Kays, if I could get up and go play after my surgery. Of course, we all know doctors--he said 'No.' I can only watch TV and drink my TPN. He told me that he and I have taken a big step, but that I am not out of the proverbial woods yet. I still need to be weaned from my ventilator to see if I can breathe by myself. That will take at least one week or more. And then I need to learn how to eat and see if my tummy knows how to keep food inside. "Slow and steady," Dr. Kays always says. "Slow and steady." If I keep going the course that I'm on, then perhaps I could meet all of my friends one day! Your pal, Noah.

Good morning Noah. No, what a great morning Noah. I'm sure we all cried along with your mama worried about you yesterday and we all applauded and thanked god for your amazing doctors, nurses and your strength once surgery was finished. I can't wait to meet you and watch all the adventures of your life. Prayers always. Janet

Yay! Yay! Yay! All your friends are jumpin for joy for our little pal!
Jesus loves you! Take it easy..listen to Dr. Kays, you'll be jumpin yourself before long!
Wow, that is one impressive looking scar, kid. When you get older and people ask you where you got it, be sure to tell them: "I brought a gun to a knife fight." :)
Seriously, this is such an amazing outcome. We'll keep praying earnestly, but it's such a relief to know that Noah's going to be okay.
We are all SO HAPPY!! Thank God!!We all knew you could do it Noah! Bless those doctors and nurses and especially you and your family!! Still praying for all of you from up here in B.C.
