11 o'clock News

Wow, NBC 40 Atlantic City did a great job putting together the story on the 11:00 news! Phaedra Laird (the reporter) contacted us this afternoon, and soon enough they were in Noah's room interviewing him. We are so grateful for all of the media coverage, but this was just amazing because Noah was on it personally. Finally all of the people who have been expressing their concern and helping Noah since the accident were able to see him doing so much better (considering all he has gone through). I am so proud of my wife Megan, and she, Noah, and Vicki (mom) are so awesome in the news segment! Please visit the NBC 40 website, we have even provided a link at the bottom of the blog for you! Enjoy the video again here, or if you missed it please press play. YAY NOAH!!!!!
(thanks again NBC 40)

Mixed Emotions

We were contacted by a Detective from the Vineland Police Department today and the driver who hit us was arrested. He was found on a farm in Greenwich and is now in the County jail. We immediately had mixed emotions because we are glad he will not be able to harm anyone else but feel bad for his family. The decision he made will effect a number of people forever. Thank you to the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and all the other authorities for all the time and effort you put into this case.

Home Sweet Home

Who gets to ride home from the hospital in an ambulance?
Noah does!

Unloading...

Noah even squeezed out a grin!
Who would guess that 12 days ago
he was in a serious accident.


The very nice guys who safely transported
Noah home...


Door #1 did not work...

Door #2 pulled through...


All settled in his new hospital bed!

The day has finally come, and what an eventful one it was for Noah! After seeing only hospital walls for 11 days he got out in the fresh air and sunshine. He loaded up on some extra pain medication for the ride home and when asked about the ride, Noah said, "Dare I say it was fun". He actually enjoyed the ride since he was leaving the hospital instead of going there. When he returned home his oxygen was waiting for him and his hospital bed was being assembled, it was quite a full house to say the least. Everyone is happy to have him home where he can recover in his own environment. Noah would like to say thank you for all the prayers, cards and get well wishes :)

The Big Day!

Tomorrow is the big day, Noah gets to come home!!! Noah will have spent a total of 11 full days at Cooper Hospital. Not many people get to say they rode home from the hospital in an ambulance, but Noah will...Go figure! That is the only way to transfer him home safely, which is the most important thing. Noah has a long and hard recovery ahead of him but his bones can heal just as well at home as they can at the hospital. He has slowly been weaned off of his constant dosage of medicine from his IV, and is now taking his medicine by mouth(not quite as strong but doing the trick). Each time we visit Noah he looks better and he is so determined to get through this. What a wonderful example he is to all of us.
