Ethan Jeanneret, WMS 7th grader, threw out the first pitch at tonight's softball game tonight. Ethan was born with a heart defect that wasn’t discovered until he was four months old. At 22 months, he underwent open-heart surgery where doctors found two holes—one was repaired, and the other was left to help reduce lung pressure. He was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and has been treated and monitored by Nationwide Children’s Hospital since. In 2022, doctors began discussing the need for a lung transplant. After being admitted to the hospital in October 2024 for another heart surgery, it was determined he needed a double lung transplant, which he received in December. Ethan is now recovering well, and it was a joy to see him at the game tonight, full of life.
