Ethan's parents want to thank everyone for praying and for passing their news along to others for them to pray. His other said repeatedly that she can sense the prayer which is helping Ethan as well as herself. So far they are very pleased with the treatment Ethan is receiving and the hospitality they are receiving.
As of Sat. Feb.24 at 6:00 pm Ethan was in critical, but stable condition. He is still on the heart/lung machine, (ECMO) and has many iv's and monitor's attached. They have him sedated so he stays very still due to all this equipment that is attached to him; he will remain on this machine for quite a while. They had to place a tube in his lungs to drain fluid from them as well.
His heart is very weak, and if he survives the next few days, his recovery will take months. His mother was happy to report this because even yesterday they weren't talking about Ethan even having a future. Some good news is that when they were taking some tape off of Ethan's eyes, he moved his arm to brush them away. That is so encouraging as it shows he still has brain function and coordination! They are taking every moment Ethan lives as a positive sign and are very hopeful. Keep praying as Ethan must fight the virus by himself, there is no medicine for a virus, and they don't even know which virus he has. God is in control and He knows!
