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!!!
