Please remember Mandy. She had surgery to put screens around the blood clots and examine the problems in her colon and large intestine. They may have to do surgery on the colon but have not had to do so at this time. They are hoping medications will work to alleviate the problems. Please pray the medicine will work and Mandy will recover without any more surgeries.
Steve and Elizabeth Rose's children Tanner and Brooklyn Rose were killed in an car accident on Sunday. Elizabeth is in White County Medical Center (Searcy, AR) and Steve is in St Vincents (Little Rock). They are both graduates of Harding University.
Current info from Ethan's page:
URGENT UPDATE!!! Please help fire up the prayer chain again. ETHAN HIT A MAJOR ROAD BLOCK TODAY! The MRD results came back ad showed that Ethan now has 38% LEUKEMIA in the marrow. That is a significantly higer number than the 16% that the microscope showed. We are not sure why the large difference, but it really doesn't matter. That is the more detailed test, so that is what it is.
So, here is the next move. We go in tomorrow to sign papers to prepare Ethan for transplant. Given the high number, the odds are stacked against him even more so. But furthermore, if there are any blasts in the peripheral blood when we check in to the hospital Friday, Ethan would no longer be a candidate for a bone marrow transplant.
Basically what I am saying is this. The two likely scenarios are:
1. we will go in and there will be LEUKEMIA in the peripheral blood.
2. we will go in and the LEUKEMIA is even higher in the marrow and we just won't know it.
Either way is very bad. However!!!!!! Our God is much bigger than 38%. If you need visul evidence to BeLIeVe then you have it all wrong. We have to BeLIeVe before we will see anything. So I am going to turn it over to God to answer our cry, and I am pleading with you to help get this prayer chain going stronger than ever. I cannot stress this enough. From every conversation that we've had with the doctors, this is the last attempt. Please continue to pray with us and BeLIeVe... PRAYER WORKS!!!
