Prayer request

A friend of ours is in need of lots of prayers....

Ethan Craig, age 4, was recently diagnosed with cancer. He has a tumor on his cheek. Ethan is in J.T.'s preschool class and his mom, Stacy, is a friend and a fellow Ferndale Children's Center board member. They are at Stanford Medical Center right now finishing up some tests and finding out what the course of treatment will be. I believe the doctors plan to start treatment ASAP as this form of cancer (can't remember the name) is pretty aggressive.

A medical fund has been set up in his name at U.S. Bank in Ferndale, if anyone is interested in donating to help the Craigs cover transportation costs, etc.

Please keep Ethan and his family in your prayers.... they need as many as they can get right now. Thanks!!

Thanks for the update on Ethan. I kept wanting to ask you about him last night but never found a moment when the kids weren't within hearing distance. I will continue to pray for Ethan, Stacy, and the rest of the family.

How tragic! Cancer isn't selective and it just isn't fair.

I'll keep Ethan and his family and friend in my thoughts.
