Praise God for an answered prayer - Ethan walked today! He managed about 75 steps out of his room & down the hall! He was crying the whole time, saying he was scared, but he did it! Then we turned around & he walked back another 75 steps, with hardly any crying! His cardiologist, Dr. R, just happened to be there to witness the whole event. He then sat in a chair for about 20 minutes before asking to get back in bed.
His reward was a Holley Shiftwell car from Cars 2! Now he's taking a nap, which he definitely earned & needs!
Dan's Dad (Pap-Pap) came to visit as soon as Ethan finished his walk so his belated birthday present (birthday was Friday, 9/2) was getting to see Ethan sitting there in the chair instead of the bed!
Now Ethan's taking a much deserved & needed nap! Getting up & moving should help with chest tube drainage. Before the walk, a doctor came by to say he thinks the tubes can come out today. Just waiting to see if there's much more drainage after that walk. If he can get the chest tubes out, we're requesting that happens before Ethan has to walk again to help ease his fears a bit.
That's all for now, we'll update again if anything else major changes. Otherwise, we'll just update before bedtime.
