I am very pleased. Ethan is STILL very stable and sleeping better. He needs to sleep away the next few days so his body can focus its energy on healing. They are weaning down his ventilator settings today, his sedation, and his dopamine. And I am excited to say he is even getting a little bit of FOOD in his belly. Granted they are starting off very slow and it is the NASTY low fat formula still, but it is something! Poor guy. I was brave and posted a picture of our little Pillsbury dough boy. Believe it or not, his swelling has gone down. Now you can understand why Greg didn't want pics of him for awhile. The funniest part will be when he fully recovers he will be sooooo skinny. That is all swelling (not from the Glenn either, he already recovered from his Glenn head)! Wish it was true chub, but oh well.

Oh, that picture melts my heart. We're praying for you!!! Owen was puffy right after the Glenn but his "look" changed. He didn't go back to the skinny Mr. Owen we knew before the Glenn. You are in our thoughts.

Keep hanging in there Ethan. Our Charlie was really puffy after the Glenn too. We're keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. XXX
oh, poor guy! i hope he is sleeping like a baby.
Love to see him and hear that he is a little more comfortable today.
He's still handsome even thru all that puff.
Bless his little heart. He is just so sweet, and thank you for sharing that picture. I am glad that there are baby steps in the right direction. Keep them up!
He is just a sweet heart. It breaks my heart to see little babies intubated. I hope they can wean him soon and get that tube OUT!
Go Ethan Go!!
