After nearly of week of living on pins and needles and wondering what the next hour would bring, it appears as though our crisis may be nearing an end. The clot in Ethan's aorta has responded to the drug TPA and is completely gone. He is off of his breathing tube and will soon be transferred to recovery where, over a few days or as long as it takes, he will be weaned off of his medicine and sent home.
My life lesson in this has been the power of prayer and people. Hundreds of friends, relatives, and their friends and relatives brought our family into their hearts and prayers. This power of humankind is overwhelming.
Thank you.

Wow. You can say that again. Everyone I talk to has told so many people and they've told so many people. Little Ethan has had many prayers said for him. It is very humbling to feel that kind of love. It has not only helped Ethan, it has helped all of us during the times we've been standing around his bedside feeling helpless. He is very blessed to be part of this group of family and friends. Thank you.

We just thank our God that your little one is recovering. There is nothing more helpless in life than to watch a little one...so precious...so wanted...and such a miracle...have to go through a tough start.
There is no greater miracle than to watch and hold a little baby. Your family is truly blessed.
God Bless you guys and Ethan is absolutely beautiful!
