Today has been another good day. Ethan is doing fantastic on the ventalator and is slowly coming off meds. He is still a bit out of it but we can definately see his cute self shining through. It is completely heart breaking to not be able to hold him yet and to see the sad or confused looks on his face. It won't be long though before he is off the ventalator and can move a lot more freely. Optimistically it will be Wednesday when he is off the ventalator and hopefully Friday when we are moved out of the PICU and onto the floor.
Bone marrow tests are not yet back but some preliminary tests confirm that Ethan does not have cancer. This was pretty low on the list of things so we were not too concerned but it is nice to have it confirmed. We may never have all the whys, whats, hows answered and we may not know how to treat whatever has and is happening. There are still a lot of unknowns. The fact Ethan has got through this episode we are optimistic we will be able to prevent it from getting to this critical level in the future. We are also confident and optimistic that we will get some answer. Like I said there are just a lot of unknowns.
Keep thinking of Ethan! He is so stinkin amazing!
