Ethan had his second surgery about six months later. This was the surgery that could put him out for good if he was not careful. When Ethan found out that he was going to need a second surgery, he began to really worry about his future. He was very emotional for a couple months because this year being his senior year he wanted to be in the spot light. The same procedure was to happen again. the doctor was going to cut more off his disc to remove the part pressing on the spine. It was time for his surgery and it was more nerve wrecking than before. The surgery went well and Ethan was out of the hospital a couple hours after. This time Ethan did what he was supposed to do and he went to physical therapy three days a week for six weeks. He was still restricted from deer hunting and any physical activity till his back was strong enough. After a long month or so he was starting to run and do physical activity at football practice. Due to Ethan's hard work, the doctor released him to play football and all sports but told him to take it slow. I was so happy to finally hear good news and that Ethan was going to return doing what he loves. I was excited that I get to watch him every Friday night and be apart of his senior year.
