Update # 106

Ethan has had a really tough Thursday night to
Saturday morning.  He has had real trouble breathing
and collecting lots of thick mucus in his throat.  For
the first time we had a week-end hospice visit.  Nurse
Lisa,  has Ethan on oxygen in addition to breathing
treatments and a med to help him relax his breathing.
Was not long at all after she got everything set and done
that Ethan was clearly better.  He is relaxed, has his color
back, and is breathing much easier.  Thank you Nurse
Lisa !

In addition to the ton of mail Ethan has been receiving of
late, close to 5oo pieces,  today he got a special one.  It was
mailed from Florida and had dolphins on the front.  It came
from Logan and Lindsey,   friends of Uncle Keith.  Ethan
really likes the card and is now bugging Uncle Keith.  It was
really nice of them to think of Ethan as they go through the stress
of moving from the east to the west (glad you are coming back!).
There is something about kids and animals,  as Ethan got a text
message (with photo) from Karen about a cat and a bird bath.
That generated a laugh even with his sore throat, thanks.

Ethan will have a surprise on Sunday.  We have not told him,  but
we know he will be very excited and happy when it happens.
The rest of you will have to wait until the next post for more
information.

As always, we thank everyone for the many prayers and support
offered by so many.  We hope you all know how special you are
to all of us.
