Ethan’s parents were alarmed after he suddenly stopped breastfeeding and began vomiting. They rushed to a children’s hospital with Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health where they ultimately met Dr. Kuenzler, a pediatric general surgeon. He and his team were able to diagnose Ethan with a medical condition, caused by a birth defect, and performed life-saving surgery.

Check out the rest of Ethan’s journey.
