8 hours, 27 minutes

Ethan didn't keep the wires attached for the full 48 hours. He was 39 hours, 33 minutes short. I'm not sure how long it will take before we know if the torture we put him and ourselves through was worth it & if significant information was obtained during those long 8 hours.




The rest of the evening he was pretty darn happy.


We finished celebrating Sarabeth's birthday.


Since Ethan couldn't eat the cake, I made him a batch of brownies during his nap. He thought he needed candles too. Twenty-four candles in the box, 19 for Sarabeth and 5 for Ethan. Perfect.
Not sure why, but after getting all 3 pairs of glasses fixed on Wednesday, he refuses to wear any of them. (Can you believe he'd broken all of them before we had a chance to get a replacement?)
P.S. Tammy, I will get back to the Early Years story.

It should be enough. Not nice to have to wear those. I think he did very well to keep it on that long ;)

Even with all the wires and testing, brownies and his tractor make him happy as can be! Precious little buddy. And happy belated birthday to Sarabeth!

Almost 8.5 hours is pretty good! I hope they get the data they need and he doesn't have to try and repeat the test.

He looks like such a happy little camper and I love his beautiful smile!

Happy birthday (belatedly) to Sarabeth, too!

Aww...sorry. Hope all works out.

Not wanting to wear his glasses? Maybe having the goo and things attached to his head has put his sensors on overload? Hope they got enough info!

Wow, lots going on with you these days! It would be terrible trying to keep that on a kid for that long. I also hope they get useful data after all that!

Wow! I hope you get enough info. One time when my son wore a holter monitor, it came unplugged. We plugged it in, upside down. We only missed like 8 hours. We had to do the whole thing over! GRRR!!
Anyway, I just found you, and have read through some and am enjoying your blog!
Have a blessed day!

Whew, I just read through the past posts on this page a you have had quite a bit going on in your life.

The napkin story is funny, the trip sounded wonderful - glad your folks are feeling better and everyone got home safely. Ethan sounds like quite the little guy! He did good on his time I think. Not sure how well I would do with things stuck to my head!

Thanks for your prayers. We are in need of a steady stream for a while. Right now I can not legally say anything. Perhaps one day I can. The outcome could be a good learning lesson or a very BAD scenario for someone I love dearly.

Have a great week.

I hope they got some good information anyway. And happy birthday to your girl -- she looks just like you!

Hello,
You had commented on my blog about another Angel, but she didn't have her own blog at that time. I wanted to let you know that she has a blog now and I know she would be very excited to talk to you.
