Who would of thought what tomorrow         brought for Ethen Holland and our family. Our 12 year old grandson Ethen Holland has been fighting for his life for the last week. Last Tuesday Ethen went to a doctors  appointment because he coughed up a  small amount of blood. He explained to the doctor that his eyes get bloodshot and his feet get purplish in  color at times. The doctor did a chest  X-ray and sent him home thinking it was nozzle dryness. The next day his parents received a call from the radiology department. They needed Ethen to get  an ekg immediately. Within 2 minutes  they told Stephanie and Matt to pack  their bags and take Ethen straight to  Helen Devos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids Mi. That’s when Ethen  started the battle for his life. He’s had several surgeries and procedures to save his life. While putting him on the life support machine (it works as his heart and lungs  to keep him alive) he coded out twice. Thank  god for his great doctors and  nurses that   brought him back to us. Today the scare       continued both of his lungs collapsed and.   the heart was failing. They inserted an           artery line to relieve  some of the                      pulmonary hypertension.  After surgery       the doctor’s were able to  achieve getting  his pressure cut in half. Which is great           news for Ethen! If he stabilizes he can          make it to the lung transplant center in          St. Louis Mo. The current life support           machine is so large  that they are trying to  get a smaller machine from Germany to       keep him alive during the helicopter ride.      It’s never  been used before in the United.  States. Fingers crossed it could be here by      Friday. Stephanie and Matt is going to           encounter several expenses for medical,       lodge, travel and food. I’m asking anyone     who’s able to donate any amount of  money to  please help our children and most              importantly ETHEN so his parents can be by his side. It’s definitely hard time’s right now so it’s completely understandable if your not able too. I would just ask that you send lots of love and prayers. Ethen needs a miracle moment! Thank you and we appreciate anything you can do! Please take a moment and give hugs and kisses to those you love because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
