I wonder about some American kid with the same affliction.

The average hard working American is rapidly becoming disposable.

One can assume this tiny toots shall be getting plenty of prayers going upward. So much for carrier ops.

Even our local liberal news stations carried this story in a big way.
Baby Noor is at a premier children's hospital here, she'll get the very best of care.
And for those of you who are snarking about American babies, it's a nonprofit hospital and they do TONS of work for local kids whose parents can't afford the care -- thanks to donations from folks all over Atlanta. Don't badmouth our soldiers' desire to help the particular kid in trouble who appears in their orbit. The best charity is personal and spur of the moment.

I think it is a great story!
Thanks for the info.

If I get any followup that doesn't appear in the national media, I'll post it.
My son was treated at this hospital, so I know a number of the doctors and surgeons there. If I know the surgeons, I'll pass the word.

Found a press release from the hospital. She's at Scottish Rite and the surgeon is Rodger Hudgins, the chief of neurosurgery there. I don't know him, but I know one of his cohorts, who treated my son.
From the press release: "As a not-for profit organization, Childrens provides the necessary resources to serve children and enhance each childs life through excellence in pediatric care. In 2004, Childrens provided $73 million of unreimbursed care."

I think American soldiers have always had a soft spot for children.
When WWII ended, my Father was with the first american troops sent into Berlin after the Russians captured it. The city was basically a mess. Daddy began to feed two children named Fritz and Ingrid. He could go through the chow line as often as he wanted so he would go through once and give the food to the kids then again for himself.
Daddy got to go home before too long and the civilian population, at least in the areas occupied by Americans were already recovering.

You have a tag line that praises American troops but when they do something noteworthy like this you bitch. Don't you believe what you say? Our babies get taken care of. We don't have a government health care system(and don't need one) but our system will find ways to help those in need. God bless these troops. I guess you think they should have just let her die, huh?

That was NOT the point and you know it. If you are just in the mood to pick a fight with someone, look elsewhere, idiot.

At least the troops got some positive press out of it. That counts for something.
