Update, 1 Dec 2017: Noah had his last MRI this morning, and it was clean. He's doing great. He's a beautiful, smart, funny and talented little six-year-old. Thank you all for your help. Love, Mike

Update (March 22, 2014): Noah is doing really great these days. He's had clean MRI's for a year, and is catching up on his walking and talking. He's very loving, very happy, very cute, and very funny. We're grateful for all of the support and prayers we've received. We love every day with him and look forward to every tomorrow.

A special thanks to Jesse, and everyone else at loudr.fm for suggesting I record a charity song for Noah, as well as offering to waive any of their proceeds from the donations received. Thanks also to loudr.fm for handling the licensing with the Beatles' publisher, securing permission for us to make my rendition available on their site and iTunes. And thanks to Jeff Hall for letting me borrow his video camera (identical to mine), so I could shoot the performance from two angles at once.
My rendition of this song hit #1 on the iTunes singles chart in the Netherlands. Thank you SO MUCH, Holland!
And thanks, Dumpert!
And thanks, Reddit!
And thanks, wimp.com!
Thanks to all of you so much for your friendship, generosity, support and efforts to help spread Noah's story.
