Update # 74

Today is Thursday and Ethan woke up to rain today.  We went to the sliding glass
door and watched the rain fall several times today.  I would love to know what he
was thinking as he watched - wanted to ask but he instructed me to be quiet and
listen (smile).

Hospice nurse came by and visited with Ethan for about 30 - 45 minutes this morning.
She gets along well with Ethan and is always nice to have a professional opinion
now and then.

Had two outings today in spite of  the weather.  We timed it well, and went to lunch
at the "Old Spaghetti Factory".  Had a nice lunch with Grandma, Papa, and Dad.  As
usual, Ethan's manners and behavior are wonderful and he received kudos from
several of the staff.  Am amazed each time someone goes out of their way to say
something to him.  To bad it does not happen to all children all the time, might make a
big difference.  As we returned home, we stopped by Keyes Mane Design so Papa and
Ethan could get their hair cut. The owners (a family) are wonderful people and have for
many years been the only place many go.  Cindy and David have made Ethan feel
GREAT !  They talk and  joke with him and discuss things  -  how neat is that !   As we
were leaving my great cell service sent me a text.  It was Cindy from  Keyes asking
how Ethan was doing and sending prayers his way.  Cannot say enough about how
nice they are,  and they do a super job with your hair.

The events of the day have really made Ethan tired.  The evening finds us watching
an old VHS - "The Rescuers".  It was his request along with a fire in the fireplace.
A good family ending to the day.

Thanks to all of you for your  prayers and support.  There are several that I try
to thank for the extra they do, but in reality everyone has been great to Ethan.
