Our Story

Noel was our little angel. She was born on February 8, 2007a perfect, healthy baby girl. Noel’s big blue eyes and personality lit up a room. We called Noel our little angel. We never imagined that we actually were blessed with an angel, until we experienced every parent’s worst nightmare…

Noel had been fighting a cold and a croupy cough for a few days. She was having trouble breathing at home. We took her to the hospital to be admitted on Saturday morning, March 1, 2008. At the hospital Noel was monitored and given several breathing treatments. Never did it enter our minds that Noel was seriously ill or that she could die.Unknown to or her doctors, Noel was dealing with pneumonia, Respiratory Syncytial Virus ( RSV), and Influenza A. The following morning the staff tried to help Noel’s breathing and planned to med flight her to the nearest children’s hospital in Madison. They decided toperform an intubation and a tracheotomy on Noel. It was unsuccessful, and Noel’s little heart stopped beating. Noel passed away Sunday morning, March 2, 2008 at 9:42 a.m. Though Noel’s life lasted only 12 months and 22 days she touched all who knew her, including family and friends.
