Ethan had his second heart surgery. The surgeon cut right along his left shoulder bone and put in another patch to make his aortic artery wider. Ethan's heart has been stable ever since. According to his cardiologist, the next major "test" of how well Ethan's heart will do will be around age five, when kids typically hit another big growth spurt. We pray that his heart will continue to keep up with his growth. He continues to act like a healthy 2 1/2 year old. I am ashamed to say that there are many times when I wish I could get a break from him because his whining is driving me crazy, or I am tired of picking up after him, etc. I almost didn't have the chance to do these things for him. God is good at reminding me of this and I am thankful for His grace which allows me to try again the next day to be grateful for the incredible blessing that Ethan is in my life. I can't imagine my life without him.
Looking back to one year ago today...
