Journal entry by Jen Nelsen —
It is hard to believe that I used to frequent this page daily, sometimes hourly, to update you all and ask for your prayers; that’s how fragile our moments felt just months ago. Getting updates to post only occasionally now feels like a gift. A gift that silently thanking God for is the only act that matches the deep exhale that we can finally breathe. We are still in awe and amazed and what God has done in Ethan. He is truly a miracle.
So here is your update. It’s been awhile. Another gift from God. 🤍
Ethan went back to the CCU and ICU and Neurology Unit this past week to thank everyone. He met with the doctors and nurses. It was very emotional. All those endless walks down the hallways, not sure if he would live or not, brought back an intense amount of emotion and gratitude. Everyone was amazed that Ethan was standing and talking to them. Although he didn’t remember any of them, they remembered him. After many hugs, hand shakes, tears, and smiles, we are reminded of God’s faithfulness, His love, and grace. We are so grateful. For all of them, and for you. Forever we will remember what HE has done for us.
