Update # 127

Ethan has reached Day 482 -  amazing,  totally amazing !

Ethan continues to progress - taking one event,  day,  night,
at a time.  Over the past week he has stayed pretty much
on an even keel.  He has had a few eating moments that
have been very difficult.  This is because the mussels that
allow him to swallow have not been functioning very well.
This has been an issue from the very beginning but has
become more severe as time passes and his tumor
progresses.  But in spite of it all,  he still smiles and lets
you know all is good.

In the past few days Ethan has received several cards. A
couple of cards are extra special to him.  He received a card
from Riverside  (his home town) ,  it was from Tom and Karen.
They continue to get Ethan to smile and he likes them very much.
He also received a card from Colorado that had a group of young
wolves on it.  This card came from Konna who has also sent mail
from South East Asia and a text  from Kazakhstan.  Ethan also wants
me to send  a " Hello "  to Aunt June.  He got your wishes and
sends a smile back to you !

Ethan's new movie (DVD) of choice the past couple of days
has been "Hotel Transylvania".  In the movie is the line
that says - "I never said Blah, Blah, Blah".  Even with little
or no speech,  Ethan tries to say that line then laugh.   Took
a while to figure out what he was trying to say,  but Uncle Keith
figured it out and now we all laugh.

We continue to be blessed with prayers and support.  Thank you all
for taking the time out of your day / evening to think of Ethan
and our family.
