Please Pray for Ketren

I am a believer in the power of prayer. I'm also a believer in the power of spreading the need for prayer, especially throughout blogland. I've seen it work. I know that there is power in number, so I'm asking you to pray for a very special little boy.

His name is Ketren. He is 22 months old. His mom is one of my class instructors at the gym.

So many times I've seen him running across the gym, sippy cup underarm, big smile on his face.

Just last week he was diagnosed with leukemia. He's at one of the local children's hospitals in Atlanta receiving treatment. In one day alone, this precious baby went through THREE surgical procedures.

To say that his mom, and indeed his entire family, are brokenhearted would be a ginormous understatement. I don't think there are words to express how much their hearts are breaking. They need prayer in a big, big way. Prayer for healing, complete and full, for their sweet little boy. Prayer for strength to get through the long days and even longer nights that lie ahead for them.

I have linked Ketren's Caringbridge page with his button on my sidebar. Please take a moment and read his story. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make HTML code for you to grab a button, but I know you all know how to add his button and link. Will you please do that for me? But more than that, please, please pray for Ketren and his family. God hears our prayers.

Till next time... If any of you know how to make buttons to make it easy for my readers to grab, would you fill me in? I'd love to get this spread throughout the blog world. Thanks!

Count Frank and I in. My cousin's husband just went through stem-cell transplant with A.L.L. (Childhood Leukemia). I will definitely keep this precious little one in my prayers.
