The echo cardiogram today showed that Ethan's heart is under distress and that the meds did not help at all. So tomorrow morning, he is having his second open heart surgery in 12 days. They will try to remove the muscle mass that has positioned itself on top of his newly constructed pulmonary valve. There are a ton of risks here that I can't bear to go into right now.
Please pray for little Ethan who has been such a trooper with all he has been through. Pray that all goes well and that he stops becoming the exception and becomes the rule. In that, I mean everything that has happened to him in the last two weeks is just not normal. I can't tell you how many times I have heard, "We sure haven't seen this before" or "that doesn't usually happen" in the last two weeks. His little body has been through so much and he still has his cranial surgery looming as well. Please pray for healing and God's miracles on his wee body. And if you have a moment, pray for Abby and Lauren as they have seen very little of their parents (especially mommy) in the last couple weeks. They are handling it just fine thanks to my parents. Actually its mommy who has been having a hard time with it! : )
Your prayers mean so much to us. -h
