Chest Tube

Noel is going back to surgery at about 2am to get two chest tubes put in. During the broviak surgery (which did not go as planned, but I’ll update that later,) she received a Pneumothorax (which means her lung got nicked when they were trying to place the broviak and some air escaped into the layer outside of her lungs; with the placement of these chest tubes the air will drain out. I’ll update soon, please pray.

I am on my knees in prayer for Noel this morning. Tina, I am so sorry for all of this. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I may not be able to come see you till the weekend, but please know you and Noel are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,

Alicia

Good morning Tina. I am hoping chest tube goes "as planned" and Noel recuperates and is able to leave the hospital soon.

My name is Anne Rutkowski. I have a 10 year old daughter with CMD (congenital muscular dystrophy). I launched a nonprofit with 2 parents called Cure CMD. You can visit us at www.curecmd.org

Whatever we can do to help please let us know. If you get a moment to register Noel on the Cure CMD site that would be great.

A big hug- my thoughts are with you,

Anne

Dear Tina,
I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter Adelina - with CMD. I am sure they would great friends! I am so sorry to read of Noel's troubles. I hope it turns around soon and she can get back on track. Hope to see you both on CureCMD.com. We found it last Nov. There are many moms and kids like us there all around the world. It really helps, in good times and not so good times. I will tell Adelina about Noel tonight.
Best, Lucinda
