Noel Prouty

Hello friends, we appreciate your support, prayers, and words of hope and encouragement. I will start with a little background information on Noel's situation. Noel had a brain tumor removed back in December of 2018. He was diagnosed with glioblastoma and has had frequent follow up visits and MRI's since then. Everything has been going really well until just recently. On Thanksgiving morning Noel started to experience severe migraines. Unfortunately, they were in Nebraska and they went to the ER twice with very little answers. After they got back to Rochester, MN they were able to meet with his neurology team and after an MRI they diagnosed him with SMART syndrome which stands for stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy. There is little known information about this so they aren't totally sure what all this entails but he has been having frequent bouts of focal seizures lasting up to a couple hours. He was admitted to the neurology unit at Mayo Clinic on Sunday and has had a seizure twice since being there.  They predict that he will be there for a little bit longer until his seizures are under control. I’m hoping that this gofundme will help relieve some of the stress that this family has. Due to Noel’s condition he is no longer able to continue nursing school and my sister needs to decrease her hours at her job to care for him 24/7 while trying to finish nursing school herself. They are considering moving in with family to help relieve the burden of a mortgage and other bills. To help them make it through this transition financial help is always helpful. If you feel moved to help, thank you. Sharing this page and praying will move mountains. Thank you for all the support!
