Ethan's surgery

The MRI that Ethan had last week shows that his spinal cord is tethered. This is what is causing his walking and balance issues. http://neurosurgery4kids.net/tetheredspinalcord.htm We have an appointment with the neurosurgeon on Monday May 14th and he will have surgery to detether on Wednesday May 16th and will be in the hospital approximately 5-7 days.

Please pray:
1. That the detethering surgery will be successful.
2. That the recovery will be quick and complete.
3. That Ethan will be comfortable and able to handle the stresses and challenges of his hospital stay, especially with the language barrier.
