It's hard to believe but yesterday, on October 17th we've had Ethan with us for 6 months. It has been an exciting time.



So much has happened in the last 6 months. He has gone from living in an orphanage in China, to living in a family in the United States. We have made it through two surgeries, one to detether his spinal cord in May, and to place a shunt to relieve pressure from hydrocephalus in September. A new diagnosis this month of narcolepsy with medication that has been working great!!! Ethan is so much more alert and awake now and he has been just blossoming developmentally. Ethan has also started school part days in a kindergarten classroom that will help him catch up academically and developmentally to help him be ready for kindergarten next year.
