Britteny Menges, Ethan Menges' sister, puts together an adaptation device made from pvc pipe they ordered online that helps Ethan put on his shorts by himself, in her Rockford home on Monday, Dec. 14, 2015. Menges had all four of his limbs amputated in September following a life threatening battle with a virus that spread to his bloodstream and put him in a coma after collapsing on Jan. 22. They were setting the house up to make it easier for Ethan to be able to manage while Britteny is away at work or nursing classes.
