Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to tell you that Ethan opened his eyes today!!!! Everyone was so excited. This shows that Ethan's brain wasn't really affected by what happened to him in the last couple weeks.
Ethan had a good night. His stats stayed within the normal ranges last night and into today.
They are giving him a feeding tube today which will (very slowly) give him some more nutrition. They have to take it very slow because his bowels are not used to seeing anything in them for over 2 weeks.
The doctor seemed concerned that Ethan could have some gallstones, so the they are going to do an ultrasound soon to see if that could be the case. The doctor told me that sometimes gallstones can appear when someone has not really moved in such a long time.
Overall, things are going wonderful, thank you so much for praying for Ethan, I know with out a doubt that God has done a miracle where Ethan is concerned.
