Keep Praying for Ethan

Latest update on Ethan 2:00 p.m. CST.

The valve has been replaced and they are working on the pacemaker. The surgeon said there was infection on the chest wall but that Ethan's heart was beating strong going into the surgery. After the valve replacement, they had to give some medicines to help his heart function because it had weakened. The surgeon also said that it was the worst case of endocarditis that he'd ever seen. It's been a long day for little Ethan. It's going to be a long road to recovery for him as they are still trying to fight infection and get him stabilized. The next few days are critical.

Please continue to keep him in your prayers as well as his family. We pray that God will allow him to recover and rejoin his family and friends and all those that love him. He's touched many lives and continues to do so. Thank you all so much for your prayers.

Dear Lord, I pray for this boy and his family. I pray that you will guide the doctors to the right therapy. That they treatments will be successful and that he will recover fully. I pray that you will be glorified through this.
