Fun Tidbits - Ethan and Jayden

I am enjoying our time at home now that Jayden is home. Jayden is still sick and will likely be for another week or two, but is also improving, which is great.

The doctor said when he was admitted to the NICU his lungs were holding the most fluid they could hold without shutting down, which is why he was admitted into the NICU and not just the hospital. She said he was one of their most severe RSV cases they've had this year. Praise God for all the prayers and that he is recovering so well!

Now we just have to get through the rest of the cold/flu season without him catching something else. The doctor said that is the biggest threat to him and could be very harmful if he caught something. When it's put that way, it's not too difficult to become a shut-in for awhile.

Onto something not health related(it is so nice to be able to do that).

Many people have asked us about why we picked the name Ethan and even more about why we picked Jayden.
The biggest reasons were

• because we liked them


• we loved the meanings


• they were not too common, but still known (at least when we picked them)

Ethan means firm, enduring, strong. The origin is Hebrew.
Ethan was a man distinguished for his wisdom in the Old Testament. He lived during the time of Solomon. He authored the 89th psalm.

Jayden was derived from Jadon. It means thankful or God has heard. The origin is also Hebrew.
Jadon assisted Nehemiah in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem (Neh 3:7).
