PARSIPPANY — On Thursday, March 3 at approximately 11:00 a.m., Noah Lorencovitz, 13, had collapsed and was unresponsive at Central Middle School. Noah is in the eighth grade.
Emergency Personnel immediately began treating Noah upon their arrival. Par-Troy Emergency Medical Services and Saint Clare’s Paramedics transported Noah, with police escort, to Morristown Medical Center.
He was transferred to Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center on Friday and still remains in critical condition.
“Noah’s condition continues to improve a little each day, but we have a long road ahead and still lots of unanswered questions”, said his mother, Jennifer Lorencovitz.
“We know we have a lot of friends and family near and far who want to do something to help. First of all, we ask that you continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. We truly believe that has helped him along so far” she continued.
“We also welcome you to create a voice memo on your phone or tablet and email it to skb9003@nyp.org. In the voice memory, state your name, and tell him a funny/favorite memory of him, any impressions, a joke anything that you think will make him smile. The staff at Columbia Presbyterian Memorial Hospital will create a playlist of all the recordings and play it for him over and over. We think the familiar voices will provide more healing and comfort for him to help bring him home sooner,” said Mrs. Lorencovitz.
