Noah S.
South Carolina
Biography
Eager to see the world, Noah arrived 6 weeks early weighing 4 lbs and
12 oz. After I was given the epidural, he lost oxygen which resulted in CP. We
did not know he had CP at the time.
Noah was a happy baby, but we did begin to notice that he was not on target with
some of his milestones. At about 8 months old, a CT scan was done and it was
then determined that Noah did have CP.
Noah had surgery at Shriner's Children's Hospital in November of 2002 to
lengthen his heel cords and to put steel plates in his hips. Theat helped some
and for awhile Noah was able to walk short distances in a walker but his main
mode of mobility is his wheelchair, which he is pretty good at it - so watch
out, he will run ya over!
In January of 2010, Noah was diagnosed with Scoliosis and had a 96.3 degree
curvature of his spine. In May of 2010, Noah had a steel rod surgically
implanted into his spine. After a long recovery, Noah is now sitting up
straighter than ever and his curvature is only 11.9 degrees.
Noah's speech is also delayed by CP - although he comprehends and understands so
much! He is now communicating with sign language and a communication device.
Noah goes to a very good local school for children with special needs. He is in
a class room setting, but receives occupational, physical, and speech therapy
and learns life skills at school as well. He is doing well in school and enjoys
school - especially riding on the school bus!
Noah continues to amaze us with his zest and love of life. Noah is a very happy
and loving boy who enjoys making others smile and laugh by doing silly little
things. He plays Miracle League baseball (baseball program for children with
special needs), loves the Clemson tigers, and enjoys reading and going places.
He is a curious learner and a bit of dare devil at times - especially when it
comes to roller coasters.
