I as well whom have VCFS and it's very difficuilt for me and sometimes I still get frustrated with certain things, but somehow you just gotta stay strong.
I'm so proud of him for taking everything so well he is definately a strong little boy! Hang in there little buddy because one day you will be able to walk because you are so strong! You have great parents for being there for you every step of the way! God bless!
I may have commented on this video before because whenever I feel down I watch it. His smile and laughter can brighten my heart in the dark winter in Alaska. He is so precious. Thanks for sharing with us. Sometimes it seems like I know him. I am a 43yo Nursery RN disabled with MS. God Bless You!
@bubbiz99 - thank you for your comment. He is my sweet little buddy and brings a lot of happiness to our family. It's hard work and some days are much harder than others as his epilepsy is uncontrolled, but we LOVE him soooo much.
Ethan sure does have some spirit don't he? Just by looking at the pictures of him, I don't think he looks abnormal in anyway. Aren't people with his disorder supposed to have smaller than normal sized heads? His head looks to be the normal size to me.
What a touching video. Did the doctors give any kind of life expextancy? I know that's a difficult thing to talk about, the only reason I ask is because I have a close friend with a sister who has Microcephaly and I was curious to compare. God bless both of you and Ethan, he is truly a gift from God and a small, beautiful thing is this large world full of ugliness.
the only reason y ppl are staring i bet is becalse they r jelous becalse there child doesnt look as helthy or as butiful as ur son i think he is just adorible
Must be a hard journey... It's cool that you've documented this all, because its inspiring to people. Glad Ethan is making progress, i hope to see him excel.
I loved every tiny second of this video. Thank you so much for this video response. Please know that I value it and I needed to see it. Tthe timing of when I received it could not be more perfect. What a sweet reminder for me to carry along my day, week, year, and life. I feel so connected to you guys and Ethan gives me so much hope. You guys are so great I loved the ending. Tears fill my eyes and my heart is full. Love him speaking at the end, that is him saying he is happy and he knows alot.
You have a gorgeous boy, he sure put a smile on my face. Look at him, he doesn't have a care in the world I bet he doesn't judge either. Special little kids like Ethan teach us how happy we can be when we ignore all the useless things our society teaches us. You'll forever be happy Ethan, I bet your strength and happiness is even more contagious in person than in this video!
Wow! Unsure if it was the life story, the song, or both - I could not hold the tears back. No tears of pity or sadness, tears of hope. Thank you for blessing my life with this video today. Your whole family is strong and one can see in the video that your whole life is based on unconditional love. Your hearts are strong&your mindset positive.
Always with you in Spirit -

im sure alot people stared at you when your son was 3 or 4 still in stroller. my daughter as autism she didnt walk tell about 5 and she didnt speak tell about that age and with some autism kids they look normal and i had few people come up and say dont u thing your daughter is to old to be in there or u would hear them make remarks use piss me off they judge before they know whats going on.
Precious! To me he is so normal! I say this because I have many special needs people in my life. Like you said in the video, he feels with his heart! If only more people could truly do this and live life as if everyone where equal, what a wonderful world that would be! Thank You for such a beautiful video and for taking such loving care of a beautiful boy!
What a gorgeous little boy! Our daughter Maisie was born with Microcephaly. She is 3 1/2 and has only just started to walk, she can only say 'oh dear, bear and mumum'. She has a fantastic sense of humour. She had an operation last year to correct her 'squint', and was such a brave girl. I feel that we have been chosen to have such a special little girl, she is loved so dearly. I'm typing this through tears as your video made me cry!! Many good wishes to you and Ethan.
What a beautiful, touching and heartfelt video. Ethan is going to start talking soon and you better be ready for a surprise when he does. I was born with Microcephaly and it has been a tough journey. Ethan will grow with your love and beyond anything you dreamed possible. Thank you for posting this you have taught me something priceless. Love, Naresh.

Thank you for the video. Our daughter is nearly 2 and has Micro (along with Lissencephaly). She can't crawl, sit up unassisted or even hold a bottle/sippy cup yet.
this video is really touching, im 16 and my daughter was born with microcephaly and tho the journey is hard we learn so much each day, God bless yu and yur family
Just wanted to say to the family of Ethan, God is with every step Ethan takes. He is strong, happy and most of all loved. Praying for you and your family. If You and your family get this please email me at cocofrog@gamil.com. Just recently found out our daughter of 7 months has Microcephaly do not know what to expect or how to deal, would love to talk to anyone who know about this
What a beautiful child! I have a son named Ethan as well. This video was touching. It gives hope for those who are facing having a child with special needs. Thanks for showing people that there is so much love to look forward to, and that is what makes life and it's challenges worthwhile.
I love this video! I do not even know your family only from facebook but everyday I say a prayer for Ethan. God bless your family and thank you for inspiring me to stay strong with my sweet little Carter who has angelman syndrome.

I always looked forward to seeing Ethan at school, even though he was in the other room.
The video reminded me a lot of what Ethan, and my own son, have gone through.
thank you.
