We were finally able to come in the room and see Ethan. I don't think anything could have prepared us for all the tubes, IV's, and wires that were sticking out of his body. I believe they said he has six IV's on various spots of his body, there are at least eight drips going into the IV's, and then of course all the monitoring devices. And that's on top of the chest drainage tube, catheter, and temporary pace maker wires sticking out of the center of his chest.We are starting to grow accustomed to the constant beeps and buzzes that seem to be ongoing.
So far Ethan is resting peacefully. If he continues to progress as they expect, they will begin to lower the amount of anesthesia and this will hopefully help him to begin breathing on his own. He will probably wake up sometime this evening at which time they will begin to pull out his breathing tube. We are a little fearful of how he will respond to all of the wires and IV's. Hopefully he will stay calm and be able to relax. Please keep us in prayer because it is very difficult to see Ethan in this condition. Of course we are so grateful the surgery went well but now we are just concerned about his pain level and his continued recovery.

Thinking of you all this evening and the days to come. There are many prayers going up for Ethan and the rest of the family too. Love and hugs!

I’ve been praying all day, but this is the first chance I’ve had to get to your blog. I knew God was going to protect that little guy of yours and guide the surgeons and anesthesiologists. I’ll be praying for rest and healing for all the Wrotens. Take pictures, I know you probably think I’m crazy, but trust me you will be glad you did later. – We love you! Bobbi, Robert and Phyllis
