Saturday Update

Ethan had a good Saturday. He did have some head pain the night before and again this Saturday afternoon. We have figured out that keeping up on the pain meds. and not letting them run out will be good to keep pain at bay- we hope.:) 

Dr. Greene has scheduled an MRI and eye doctor visit for Monday. We have some direction- this feels good.

We moved down to 4 west floor. This is oncology floor. Ethan is glad to have some silence; there is not as many beeps going off on the 4th floor.

 He ate mac and cheese, yogurt, and of course, hot chocolate. He was able to take a shower and sit in a chair for a little bit too. He has kept his eyes open for the longest time saturday, this is improvement. Still blurry, but he is finding the positive.... no homework till the eyes are better!:) Each day it is a few steps forward.

 Charlie and Alvena (Ethan's Grandparents) also Clint and Amie (Ethan's Uncle and Aunt) And cousins Sydney, Caden, and Olivia all came to be with Ethan for thanksgiving. We feel very blessed that we were able to be together through this emotional week.

A week ago, Thursday, we were walking on the beach enjoying together with our friends Chad and Ming. They blessed us with 24 hours of R&R before the big surgery day. We enjoyed the cold weather (Ethan loves being cold at the beach) and most of all the peace that God has given Ethan while E is in his hands. Today, a week later, we have the same peace, and much to be thankful for with the tumor gone, all the while Ethan's destiny being protected by his creator.

 Many tears, prayers, and truths spoken this week.  I am grateful that we are not orphans, but children of our heavenly father. God's love never fails!

We have been very encouraged by all the prayers, messages, and visits.

Thank you to the many who are praying for our boy Ethan!!!

God has been ever so faithful to be in our presence each day with his peace and love.

Blessings!!
