Ethan’s Story

Site created on September 26, 2011

We've created this website to keep you updated about Ethan. He's a loving and friendly kid. He loves "Tangled" and to "spin and scream at the top of his lungs". This is his story...

Ethan was admitted to The Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital on September 23, 2011. The doctors believe it was for an Arteriovenous Malformation or AVM which is like a rupture in the blood cells. This made him lose consciousness for several days. The medical staff placed him under sedation for days after. He is now awake after numerous surgeries and procedures. He is now currently home recovering and doing well.
