5.28.2006
- Noah and his mother
Melinda were transported to the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in
the Stanford University Medical Center to be listed as a candidate for
a heart transplant. His right ventricle is failing and there is nothing
more that can be done except a heart transplant. 6.9.2006 - Noah has been put on the UNOS organ recipient list and is classified as a 1B. The only thing higher is a 1A. Noah however is the only A positive blood type on the list, at this time in the Stanford area. 6.13.2006 - Noah was moved out of the ICU and back to the floor. The re-introduction to Milrinone seems to have been a beneficial decision. He was eating much more comfortably, and "KEEPING IT DOWN". Melinda is being trained tomorrow by the doctors on administering his p.i.c. line (long term IV) from home. |

Noah
is currently on the schedule to be discharged on THURSDAY to stay at the Ronald McDonald house at Stanford.
This does not mean that Noah is better, or will be. His status on the
Transplant list will not change. the fact that he is on Milrinone,
maintains his status. He is in severe heart failure. The first A+ blood
type harvest will signal a page/cellular call to have Melinda return
within an hour or so. Within a few more after that Noah will undergo
having a heart transplant. |
