Please pray for Kristen Hicks. Her father passed away at about 5am this morning.
Continue to remember Ethan as he fights leukemia. He is undergoing an experimental chemo right now and will have more testing done this week to determine how it is working.

Ethan Powell... chemo did not work this time.
Ben just posted this update about Ethan.... I don't think I need to tell you that they need your constant prayers right now!
I have some devastating news. The test came back and the LEUKEMIA is holding stable at 18%. The CHEMO was not a success. At this point, they have exhausted all options of standard CHEMOTHERAPY. You might ask... "What Next?" At this point, we are not sure that they will give us any other options but to go home. Over the next two to three weeks, they will give his body a chance to recover from this round of CHEMO and they will attempt to find any other option possible. The quality of life conversation has come to the forefront. The doctor doen't feel comfortable saying that he will survive until Christmas. OUCH! That hurts. But do not lose sight... we are praying to move a mountain not a hill! It is important to BeLIeVe! Fight the urge to call and console us, we would prefer you pray with your family. At this point, we are not really up for explaining the details everytime the phone rings. So we will vow to update as regularly as always to keep you current. Just be assured... I am not crying. I am still sitting here in my chair, right next to the little guy, imagining the miracle that I BeLIeVe will happen. As soon as we know more we will update. Thank you for continuing to BeLIeVe... PRAYER WORKS!!!

Ethan Powell...
The previous prayer requests are still current so please remember those people in addition to this updated request for Ethan.
Apparently there is the possibility that Ethan may need brain surgery to remove a growth that appears to be causing the seizures. These seizures could prevent additional chemo so please keep this situation in your prayer. In addition he will be having testing done today to see if their are leukemia cells in the bone marrow still. Please pray for this test to be clean!!
For more details please check Ethan's site. The link is in the sidebar!
LOVE YA!
