Meet
Tiny Light Ethan. This determined Tiny Light revels in all his
accomplishments. After recently learning to walk, the sky is now the
limit for Ethan.
Shortly
after Ethan was born, he was diagnosed with Down syndrome and an
atrioventricular septal defect – three small holes in his heart. For
the first six months of his life, he was on oxygen and is still
currently awaiting surgery to repair the holes. In addition to these
diagnoses, Ethan also suffers from acid reflux and sleep apnea. Ethan’s
parents say that the hardest part of their journey so far is
anticipating the heart surgery - knowing that their son will have to go
through that is the most difficult aspect to overcome.
Despite
the medical and emotional challenges, Ethan’s parents would not trade
their journey for the world, as they say “he is such a happy little guy
and it is a joy to be his parents.” They credit his diagnoses with
allowing them to slow down in life and “...enjoy every minute.”
As
a note to others with children facing similar diagnoses, Ethan’s
parents state that it is not always a bad thing and to not “...worry
about the medical problems, they will pass but your little one will
bring you more happiness than you can ever imagine.”
