Baby Noor set for surgery
Filed under: Health & Safety: Babies, Development/Milestones: Babies, Media
From CNN.com: Baby Noor, the
three-month-old Iraqi child suffering from a severe case of spina bifida that Charlene
Prince Birkeland told us about, is set to undergo surgery today in Atlanta, Georgia, in an effort to enclose her
spinal column.Dr. Roger Hudgins, chief of neurosurgery at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and his team are expected to complete the morning operation in about three hours. Dr. Hudgins describes baby Noor as "such an enchanting baby." The doctors and the hospital are donating their services.
Because of the severity of this case of spina bifida, Hudgins said Noor hasn't moved her legs, nor is it likely she will ever walk. However, enclosing the spine will "eliminate her risk of getting life-threatening meningitis and other infections," he said.
We wish the doctors the best of luck, and hope little baby Noor has a speedy recovery.

Chris said...Dr. Hudgins is an absolutely amazing surgeon. 14 years ago, my wife and I were in a situation where our son was in dire need with an uncontrollable bleed in his spinal cord, and was in danger of becoming completely paralized. We were lucky enough to have Dr. Hudgins operate on our son, who at the time was only 7 months old, and we are delighted that our son has full function in his arms/legs/back. Dr. Hudgins and Children's Healthcare literally saved his life, and we are very pleased to see that he is still doing exceptional work for children here in Atlanta. What a joy it is to see that they are working gratis on baby Noor, as this is further testimony for us not only to his dedication as a surgeon, but to him personally as a man who cares about people, and to Childrens Healthcare as a world-class facility.
