What started as a hospital stay for something entirely different led to a diagnosis we never expected\u2014especially not as a teenager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In March, we were referred to MUSC Charleston to meet with their Pediatric Kidney Transplant Team. Since then, we\u2019ve seen many doctors, undergone many tests, and received what seems to be the best plan moving forward: a kidney transplant is on the horizon for Ethan, likely within the next 12 months.<br>But God\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where we need you. Your prayers. Your love. Your encouragement.<br>We\u2019ve partnered with the Children\u2019s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) to help raise funds for the many transplant-related costs that lie ahead\u2014especially those not covered by insurance, like travel and extended stays two hours from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Here\u2019s how you can help:<br>\ud83d\udccc Pray\u2014fervently and often\u2014for Ethan, his medical team, and our family.<br>\ud83d\udccc Share\u2014please share this post and the COTA link below to help spread the word.<br>\ud83d\udccc If you feel led, every gift to COTA for Team Ethan&#8217;s Kidney is appreciated and helps lift some of the financial burden.<br>\ud83d\udc9a https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforteamethanskidney\/ \ud83d\udc9a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>My greatest prayer is that through this journey, we witness God move in powerful ways\u2014in Ethan\u2019s life and in the lives of others who hear his story.
