4 Week Update

Noah has been transferred out of the Trama ICU and is on a pediatric floor. All of his IVs and tubes have been removed. He is eating pureed foods and depending on his facial fractures and especially his jaw fractures the doctors will determine how soon he can start on other foods. The main concern is his neck now. His scans have been sent to DuPont Hospital to the doctor who did his spinal surgery. He is going to decide if Noah needs to have a neck surgery or not. His neck is causing him a lot of pain and he is basically in the waiting stage to see what is next. Noah has a depressed C1 fracture, a C3 compression fracture, C4 endplate fracture and a widening at the occipital joint.
About a week ago the doctors told us they wanted him to go to an inpatient rehab facility instead of coming home. My parents looked into it and talked to the representative and it was decided that he wasn't a good candidate. He wouldn't be able to do as much physical therapy as they require and cognitively Noah seems to be exactly where he was before the accident. Everything is falling into place and he is healing everyday. We are amazed! Thank you again for the prayers on Noah's behalf, we tell him of them daily and I know he is comforted.
