Book Overview
When was the last time you believed? When all hope seemed lost and you faced insurmountable odds, did you persist and not give up? During a life and death circumstance, did you waver and crumble?
Meet Noah. A brave boy who fought against a bully of diabolical illness and was threatened by a menacing grip of medical turmoil. A son with grit and resolve to compete in a race where second place awarded certain death. A member of a desperate family who tirelessly championed his health and upheld whimsy within his life.
Noah always believed.
Patchwork Kid reveals the true account of a boy and his family as they endure nightmarish hardships in a struggle to keep him alive. Noah was born with a devastating intestinal defect called gastroschisis and encountered dire complications that altered the course of his health forever. He became the recipient of a three-organ transplant and a member of the short-gut syndrome community. Lengthy hospital stays, several air ambulance transports across the country and countless medical procedures were the norm. As his family desperately clung to faith, they hoped through each precious day towards an unknown future and against an unforgiving illness.
Written through the eyes of his father, the author will lead you into an extraordinary young boy's journey against the monster of transplant-related chaos. Noah braved these storms with resolve and he defied the odds with heart, contagious laughter and a bucketful of hope. His son's life is a true inspiration. This family's story reminds us to stand courageously as we face our own daunting calamities.
