Please Donate to Help Jenny and Ethan

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Sarina, and I am a close friend of Jenny's. She shared with me the night before last about a tragic accident involving her son Ethan. Below is what happened in her words. Please consider helping Jenny with mounting medical bills, help taking care of Ethan's twin, Aiden, and other unexpected bills. In addition, Jenny just started a new role at a new company, and I am sure she is also feeling added stress there.

From Jenny:

Ethan needs your help. Our family needs your help. Ethan drowned last night in our backyard pool. He is alive. I got him as he went under unconscious and immediately started cpr. 911 was there in minutes. But he was without a heartbeat for 19 minutes. I expected to have lost him when I got to the ED. But he lived. Our first miracle.

He was transported via critical care to a PICU and they started presenting me with a palliative care plan - he had no indications of positive brain function. At 1am, while telling him his favorite story, he started reacting to my voice. Our second miracle. The doctor gave me a choice - Ethan clearly has cognitive trauma. Do we continue with end of life care or do we take a chance and fight? But fighting may mean his quality of life is severely diminished.

If Ethan is fighting, then so are we. The care team went into action to save his brain. He was put under sedation and minimal stimulation - quiet that brain to give it a chance to heal. By this morning, his lungs and organs were looking significantly better. A third miracle as they can get worse for days after this kind of trauma. That being said, the nurses continue to recalibrate an ever-changing Ethan - being Ethan, he likes to keep them on their toes occasionally.
We won’t know for days any early indication of neurological recovery. And the best possible outcome is me walking out of here with him and months and months of intensive therapy. But I would have my Ethan. He would have a chance. He is a fighter. I am greedy, I want that fourth miracle for him and us.
My ask - please pray for us, whatever religion or universal energy you subscribe to. As I have been telling friends of our trauma, prayer circles and goddess circles have engaged - sending us so much positive healing - and the miracles are happening. Ethan is fighting, his care team is fighting, please help them by sending all the spiritual energy and goodwill their way. We have had miracles in the past 24 hours, but I won’t lie - we need more.

And please keep Aiden in your thought and prayers. He witnessed it all and is processing the trauma and loss of his brother by his side. This Is the first time they have ever been separated.

I will send updates as I can.

Thank you.
