Update  # 28

Ethan is loving being at home again.  He is allowing himself to try more physical activity that up until now have been beyond his abilities.  He has tried skipping and running again.  He could do both two months ago but not lately.  He is not totally stable or very fluid in these actions, but pretty close.  He had a speech assessment Thursday that went well.  He was taken off liquid thickeners and can now drink what and when he wants.  This is a real big step for him and he is REAL HAPPY .  The location of his tumor causes pressure on nerves that allow or do not allow things to happen.  The first signs we noticed were his vision, swallowing, and a slight turn in of the left foot.  The foot is almost back to normal, the vision continues to improve, and now his swallowing is improving.  All these are huge steps for Ethan as he strives to improve.  Time now becomes our biggest hurdle and he continues to push that boundary as well.  He is a true fighter and an inspiration to Grandpa daily .  Thank you again for your prayers and support - you are all amazing.
