Easter Vigil and an Update on Ethan
Ann and I were grateful to attend the Easter Vigil last night at St. Benedict’s Anglican Church. It was a beautiful and meaningful time celebrating our risen Savior and lifting up prayers for our son.
Unfortunately, shortly before the service, Ethan and Bridgett were headed back to the hospital. He wasn’t feeling well and had developed a fever—similar to what he experienced last week…
Congratulations to Ethan and Bridget!
Ethan and Bridgett got engaged to be married this last Saturday!!
Ethan’s Procedure Yesterday
Yesterday Ethan was back in the hospital for a procedure to clean out his Liver ducts. Due to his condition they were clogged and causing back pain, tiredness, and slow thinking due to build up of Ammonia in the blood getting to his brain.
Ethan’s Autoimmune Story
We found out around 7 years ago that Ethan has Autoimmune Hepatitis and that it was attacking his liver. His liver did not look too bad at the time, but we were informed this is an incurable disease and that he would likely need a liver transplant in the future.
