from hospice stopped by for a visit. He gave Ethan a general
exam and asked him to do some physical activities. He knew
his left / right and was able to move each arm and leg when
requested correctly. His overall strength was good and his
ear for humor was great. Dr. Mall is very happy with how Ethan
is doing - surprised is the word I use. Great morning - even
if a bit tiring.
Later in the morning Dr. Epstein from CHLA called to check on her
friend. She is really happy / surprised with Ethan's attitude and
current physical abilities. She made us feel real good when she
talked about care (physical and emotional) that Ethan is getting.
We hope (if Ethan's condition allows) to make a visit to CHLA in
the near future. He sees pictures of staff there and calls / texts from
them that he asks about them on his own often.
Ethan also got mail ! One was a package from a 12 yr. old girl
living in Minn. named Emersyn. She has a program called
"Cards for Kids". She heard about Ethan and sent him a card
and a stuffed bear that is about the same size as Ethan ! A very
special young lady ! And today he received a "wolf" post
card from Tom and Karen. He posted it right next to his raccoon
postcard - THANKS.
Thanks to all for your continued support and prayers - they mean
a great deal to all of us. Today is 319 days - a miracle !
