A family is asking for public support after their infant son, Noah, was found to have not gained weight since being discharged from neonatal intensive care. Doctors shared the update during a recent check-up, explaining that steady growth is critical in the weeks following discharge.

According to the medical team, if Noah does not begin gaining weight by next week, he may need to return to the hospital for further monitoring and care. Physicians also plan additional evaluations related to his heart, as a precaution to better understand his overall condition.

His mother described the appointment as overwhelming. “We waited so long to bring him home, believing the hardest part was behind us,” she said. “Hearing that he hasn’t gained weight was devastating. All I want is to keep my baby safe and with us.”

Noah’s father echoed her concern but emphasized their determination. “He has already shown how strong he is,” he said. “We trust the doctors, and we’re doing everything they ask, but we’re also holding onto hope that he will turn a corner.”

Health specialists note that growth challenges can occur in infants who spent time in intensive care, particularly in the early weeks after discharge. Close follow-up, nutritional adjustments, and cardiac evaluations are often part of ensuring long-term stability.

Despite the uncertainty, Noah’s parents remain focused on the days ahead. “Every feeding, every ounce matters right now,” his mother shared. “We’re taking it one day at a time and believing that he can grow stronger.”

The family has asked for positive thoughts and support as they wait for the next evaluation. They hope that sharing Noah’s situation will raise awareness of the challenges many families face after leaving intensive care and highlight the importance of continued monitoring and early intervention.

As the coming days unfold, Noah’s parents say they are holding onto faith, medical guidance, and the hope that their son will gain the strength he needs to stay home and continue his recovery.
