  • 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.

  • @YambidiBlamBlam - his head is very small, but he was blessed with a beautiful full head of hair. His head size is smaller than a typical 1 year old.

  • 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.

  • @AdoreYouInAshXI - no life expectancy. He's very healthy aside from uncontrolled epilepsy.

  • 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.
