My name is Nash Norwood, and I am two-years-old. Boy what an adventure life has been so far. I was born with an extra 21st
chromosone. They say that means I have Down syndrome. I just think it gives me that something extra that makes me
irresistable. Mom and Dad sure seem to agree.
I also have this thing called leukemia. When mom and I were in New Orleans, at Tulane University Hospital, I was pretty sick, and Hurricane Katrina blasted through New Orleans. My blood counts were just too low for them to evacuate mom and I. Katrina devestated the city and we were right in the middle of it. Texas Children's Hospital was waiting on us to get rescued, and they sent a crew to come get us. The day we were to leave, some bad men with guns were shooting at those trying to rescue us. Everyone was scared, and angry, why did these people not want to let us leave? The next day, early in the morning, we children were resuced, but not our moms. That was scary. I am only 2 remember. But the helicopter ride was neat. Mom got to Texas Children's Hosptial as soon as she could, 20 hours she says. I was so happy to see her. She says “It ripped my heart out when they took him but I thought, ‘At least he’s out of here and can get the blood transfusions he needs and water and food." I hear that FOX News played a part in getting my mom back to where I was, so thank you FOX News!! I am here at Texas Children's Hospital, it is a great place to be, and mom and I will be here, or very close, for the next several months. I have yet to undergo a needed bone marrow transpant. Dad has to go back home to work during the week, but comes on the weekends to visit with us. I miss my dad, and my brothers. Okay off to find something to do. Nash September 19,2005 Nash, his mom Robin, and his dad Jon could use some help. First of all, it is prayers they need. For themselves, the medical staff handling his case, and the family and friends who miss them all so very much. Secondly, as you can imagine, with parking being $10.00 a day, and just the added expense of fuel, and food, they can certainly use financial contributions. Nash will have to remain in the area of Texas Childrens Hopspital for many months. September 22, 2005 Now Hurricane Rita is heading right for the Texas coast. Nash and his mom are staying in a hotel next to the hospital, and will remain there to weather out the storm, as the hospital does not want Nash far at all. Jon, Nash's father, is going to leave home on Friday to head to Houston to be with them. Please pray for his saftey, and ability to get to his family before Rita hits. I will be updating this page, as new updates come in, so please check back often. | |||
