Today Brenda's grandson, Ethan, had his second surgery to correct the cleft palette and cleft lip that he was born with. He had his initial surgery to correct the lip several months ago. Now, at 11 months, he is having the surgery to correct the palette. I spoke with Brenda a few minutes ago and he is out of surgery and doing well. She described the process and all the things they had to do...a breathing tube, an iv, stiches, a morphine drip, all on this beautiful little boy. He is doing great and his mom, Mandy, is holding him while he sleeps. This is just a quick request to everyone that you say a special prayer for baby Ethan, a reminder to be thankful that we live in this great country where medical miracles like fixing a little boy's mouth are everyday occurances, and finally please go home (or reach over if you are already there) and hug your own little boys and girls 'cause they are what its all about.
Oh, and here's a virtual kleenex cause if hearing about Ethan did not make you tear up, I don't know what will.
