Good News So Far...Please Keep Praying

Thank you so much for all of your prayers!! Terre and I have felt so much support and encouragement over the past week from so many people. We have a new appreciation for friends, family and the body of Christ. We have felt all of you carrying Ethan, us and our concerns through your thoughts and prayers this week. Thank you so much!!

The quick update we have at this time is that the CAT Scan results came back totally normal!! The doctor said it revealed no brain abnormalities and as it relates to the CAT scan there are no additional reasons for concern. Praise GOD for answered prayer!!!

In addition, to this good news our prayers for the day were answered in a number of ways. Because of Ethan having to be sedated, he was not allowed to eat for 5 hours before his CAT Scan. Terre fed him at 4:45 am and he was amazingly content without eating the whole morning -- which given his appetite is an exceptional feat. Also, as you all know, we were pretty apprehensive about Ethan being put to sleep. When we went back for the CAT scan they were preparing to put him under when he fell asleep in Terre's arms. We asked if they could try the scan without putting him to sleep, so they quickly ushered us back to do the scan. When we put him on the table he woke up. He remained awake, but after a couple of minutes of wiggling he became calm. Even though he was awake, they went ahead and performed the scan since he was so still. He remained calm and still the entire time which amazed all of us! Thanks so much for your prayers specifically for that -- it was a huge relief to have that done without sedation!!

The doctor said that we probably won't know the final results of the EEG until Monday, so please continue to pray that this report comes back normal as well. As soon as we find out the results, we'll be sure to post them and send an e-mail to everyone.

Thanks again for your prayers and support -- we love you all!!!
