My heart is so overly joyed to report that my best friend/cousin Marianne's little boy Ethan is making what looks to be a FULL recovery (she and I just had a nice long chat on the phone).
Yesterday morning Ethan nearly drown in the grandparent's pool. He was without a pulse. His Uncle started CPR and then a neighbor who is a nurse (and was supposed to be at work that day) came over and continued CPR til the paramedics arrived and took over. They took him to a hospital in Beaumont. He was then flown to Houston to the Children's hospital there where today they removed the ventilator and he is speaking, eating and doing all those things he did before. He has always loved puzzles
(as seen here in an old photo of him and his Aunt Monica)
and is doing puzzles, coloring, naming his letters, and wanting to be held tons by his Mama.
I know that the Lord hears our prayers, knows what is best for us, and I am grateful for this miracle.

We're so thrilled that he still loves puzzles! Anything would have been fine as long as he survived but it's even better that he still has his same personality and abilities.
