Karen- even though we never met in person I feel like we were friends thru the years since we "met" so many years ago at our Preemie group online. I have followed your family's story and prayed many times for Ethan. He will be remembered forever by my family as a preemie hero. I will continue to lift your family in prayer at this time.
