Here is a sedation vacation update from Alex: Noe is getting one step closer to recovery. The MDs are gradually weaning her off the heavy sedatives and she seems to be tolerating it well. The type of sedative she is currently on (Versed) lingers longer in the system than the other sedative Propofol (milk of amnesia). The nurses will keep a close eye on her progress today! Please pray that Noe tolerates the sedation vacation.
Noe's fever remains down and her infection seems to be under control. Let's hope for another 'boring' day in the ICU. At this point, no news is good news! Thank you for your continued support. Please continue to leave comments for Noe and family; Alex will read them to her every day!
"Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard." Isaiah 58:8

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
On any other day...
Noe would be swimming at the club, riding her bike for hours, putting miles on her running shoes, working in the boy's classroom, visiting family in Hawaii, running errands, mentoring women, taking care of the family...and so on. But right now, Noe is fighting another battle, Bacterial Meningitis. Please read her story and join with us in prayer. We don't know of the trials ahead, but we know God has it all in His plan . "...and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith.." Hebrews 12:1,2

Okay, Noe and Alex, if you can figure out who I am, give me a call. A family member who lives 20minutes away from your old house and who has the time to help out. :-)
May you continue to experience His grace and love.
Noe, Alex, Noah and Luke,
We have been keeping you all very close in our hearts and praying for the strength you need to get through this. You are a wonderful family and your strong faith will lead you past this trying time. May you all rest easy knowing the Lord has you all in his care. He always has a plan, though we may not understand it at the moment.
I questioned it myself when Nate had to have open heart surgery at 7 weeks old. I was desperate for answers to my "whys". With the help of my family , friends and church I put all my trust to God. Even through such a terrible time I always felt surrounded by love and support. A very devastating experience brought new meaning to my life. As you know, Nate now does not miss a beat (literally). I look at him everyday and I am so grateful for him in my life and even for the very experience that had once brought me to my knees. It made me stronger as a person and us stronger as a family.
Noe, I know you will over come this and go back to being the wonderful wife, mother and friend we all adore you for. You are a fighter...keep fighting off the infection!
Alex, Noah and Luke.... we are here if you need anything!

Hurry up and get better, Noe. The gym is not the same without you.Not enough giggling! We(Reynette and I) actually got Marie to lift weights and she is stronger than all of us (surprise)except for you .All I want for Christmas is for you to get better Fast!
Alex keep up the positive thoughts and the humor.
Any vacation is a good vacation right now! So glad to hear it is just another boring day in the ICU! Sounds like good news to me. Alex... I am here for you! If you need a break, call me and I would love to sit with Noe and I'd even read to her. : ) I'll keep praying for boring (or good) news. Love you guys so much! GO NOE!!! Tiff
Alex and Noe,
Feel the arms of love and support that your family of friends and well wishers surround you with. We continue to keep Noe in our hearts and prayers. You and the boys are loved. And you are so strong that we know you will beat this!

Noe and Alex,
We go about our normal lives...field trips, scouts, Bunko, but our thoughts and prayers are with you. You are the talk of the town. Everyone is praying and sending you positive thoughts and energy to give you strength when you need it most. I'm so glad it was a boring day in ICU. Hang in there. xx Kelli Fraga
Noe, keep healing! We are all waiting for you...sending your entire family tons of love and support. Thinking of you all the time. Luke did a great job today as Treasure! I hope you are getting all the "squeezes" I am sending with Luke. Rest, recover....
Love,

Alex, I came across this today, please share it with Noe.
"The people in one's life are like the pillars on one's porch you see life through. And sometimes they hold you up, and sometimes they lean on you, and sometimes it is just enough to know they're standing by."
Noe, we are all "standing by" and being amazed by your strength and courage.
Sending lots of love,
Audrey, Mark, Kelsey and Riley
Noe,
We just heard about the challenges you and your family are facing. Please know that you are in our hearts. I will continue to follow this blog...

We've been keeping up on all the updates and Noe, we are diligently praying for a speedy recovery and complete healing. We are also anxious to help out in any way your family has a need. Alex, you have shown such strength and this site is a blessing to us all so we can be aware of what is going on. We will keep in touch as best we can and eagerly look forward to seeing you all again.
Randy, Kellie and kids
Noe, Alex, Noah and Luke-
Everyday we are thinking about you all. Your family is such an inspiration to us. I continue to say this prayer for you constantly through out the day
The light of God surrounds you
The love of God enfolds you
The power of God protects you
The presence of God watches over you
Wherever you are God is and all is well!
We love you guys!
Emily, Don, Taylor and Matt
Dear Noe,
I am so happy to hear that you are stabilizing, and pray that the news continues to be good! You are so strong and an inspiration to us all. In my recent meditations I came across a statement that stayed with me, "God doesn't tell us 'why' because He wants us to know 'who'. It is so comforting to all of us who love you to know that YOU know 'who' is with you during these difficult times, and that He is your shepherd, is with you, loves you beyond measure, and is with you every step of the way. And I think your loving husband is right there with the two of you always as well! : ) Noe, there are SO many of us praying for you, Alex, and the boys, and cannot wait until you are well enough for us to come visit and help in more 'concrete' ways!!
Love,
Nancy Arreola
Dear Noe & Alex,
I keep you in my daily prayers! I know GOD has plans for you both and your faith and strength will not go unanswered. God Bless.
Keith
