Fight Against Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Hello to our friends and family!

We know, we know, it’s been FOREVER since you’ve gotten word on Ethan.
While we’re sorry for the time lapse between posts, we’re also thrilled to be able to be so full of life again! We’ve been fully immersed in living and experiencing life with Ethan again now that we can. It’s a nice change, one we prayed so long to reach again.

Ethan truly has been thriving! Last week, his ANC was 1280 and his platelets a 220. Such great numbers for this champ, and we can only keep praying to continure moving in this direction!
Ethan went down today for his IVIG infusion. Nothing scary, just his routine infusion to help boost his immunities. We will take any help we can get!

Knowing where we are now compared to a year ago seems like two different lifetimes. Seeing Ethan now compared to a year ago, it’s like a whole different kid. If one thing has always remained consistent, it’s been the continuous and overwhelming support from all of you! We can’t thank our village enough, our hospital/clinic staffs enough, or all of you enough for truly being the words and hope that got us through.
We are no where near done yet, but it feels good to see the brighter side of life again.
One day at a time.

Ethan Strong 🧡👍🏼

Remember how we said Ethan’s Mom and Dad are getting married?

Well, we had a little celebration for them before the big day with our closest family and friends.

As you can see, Ethan may have had a couple sips too much of the sparkling grape juice and was definitely the life of the party!

Dolly Parton came on, he grabbed his cousin Ally, and they let out all the moves!

Please enjoy these two sweet babes giggling and dancing their hearts out as much as we did. It’s these moments where we find our peace again. 🧡

Hello all our friends and family!

We’re sorry it’s been a bit for an update, but that just means we are getting back to living life a little!

Ethan has been doing relatively well lately. A few hiccups with minor things here and there, but so far, we’re still moving forward on the right track! We’ve noticed just how full of life he’s been lately. How much more excited he is when family is able to be around to visit, the way he will full belly laugh again playing with his cousins and brothers. The way his words are now flowing out in sentences as hes gaining some independence back. One of our personal favorites, his weight and hair are coming back for now too!

Ethan has an appointment coming up next week on Tuesday. He and Dad will make the day trip to get Ethan’s lumbar puncture and labs checked, and we are so praying things go smoothly. A smooth travel day, no hiccups for Ethan, and ultimately being told we’re still on track for his continued healing journey!

Being on track with Ethan is super important right now, and we need ALL the prayers we can get!
Ethan’s Mom and Dad are getting MARRIED this month, and having everything stay on our intended path is definitely key right now! Ethan’s health always, ALWAYS, comes first, and we know with everyone rooting for him, we will hopefully stay headed in the right direction.

Please enjoy these photos of the smiling face we love to see so much as you send him up in your prayers. We enjoy sharing our joys with you, our little glimpses of Ethan feeling good. We enjoy it because we know how deeply you all fight for him, and continue to do so. We will never be able to say thank you enough.

One day at a time,
Ethan Strong 🧡👍🏼

Ethan had the most heart warming day, Make-A-Wish Maine made this little boys garage dreams come true!

Ethan’s Garage Repair and Service is open for business! With some new tools and a pretty sweet place to fix all of his toys with gears, Ethan is going to be a busy guy. A little piece of joy in what has been a long journey of ups and downs is just what this fighter needed to keep his spirits high!

To see the absolute joy and wonder on his face, and the excitement and fun he was having with his family today, was a blessing to witness. To see the village he has in family surrounding him on such an important day really helped refill the strength we need in this journey. We can’t thank you all enough for being there with us today. This will truly be a day Ethan will never forget.

We’re preparing ourselves for his new business hours, that we’re sure will consist of Ethan being in the shop from sun up until he’s being taken inside for bedtime. Truly, we couldn’t be happier seeing just how overjoyed he is with his wish. Our Make-A-Wish Team was truly incredible and made this boys dreams come true! We will forever be so grateful.

Happy Happy Birthday, our sassy, sweet little warrior.
🧡👍🏼Ethan Strong

Thank you Jenn Pelkey for the incredible photos!

Hey everyone!

Today is a pretty special day; Our little fighter Ethan turns 3 today!
Happy Birthday to the toughest fighter we know! 🥳

This years birthday is much different than the last; being home with family and able to celebrate is a huge improvement from being stuck in a hospital.

Even better news, Ethan’s counts have been rising! His ANC was at 870 on Tuesday and we couldn’t be more thankful to see little man getting back to being himself again. Seeing him joke, laugh, and enjoy playing again are the simple joys that we take for granted sometimes, so it’s nice when it comes back around.

Ethan has a HUGE surprise coming tonight!
So huge, we’ll be double posting today, so you know it’ll be good!
We honestly cannot wait to see the joy this precious boy is about to be so full of!

Until then, let’s all wish our favorite fighter a big Happy Birthday 🎂🎊🎉

🧡👍🏼 Ethan Strong
