Unhappy Urgent prayer request....

Long story short, my good friends cousin and family adopted an adorable baby boy from Guatemala last spring. When they went to pick him up, they noticed he had a rash all over his body, but thought it was probably just the typical rash and would be fine. Well, he isn't fine. He has cancer and is in Childrens Hospital in Detroit right now. he's a very sick (and adorable) little guy!!! His name is Alex. Could you all pray very strongly that he can overcome this?? It's honestly heartbreaking. Thanks guys!

I can't even imagine what this poor family is going through. I pray that the find the strength to make it through this and that little Alex makes a full recovery. It's heartbreaking to see such a little one go through something so terrible, but they can make it through this. My neice was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 4. She's now a beautiful, smart, perfectly healthy 11 year old. Your friends are in my prayers.

OMG!!! How heartbreaking!!

I am sooooooooo sorry your friends and baby Alex are having to go through this ordeal. They will be in my prayers.

I would like the link you mentioned in your post so we can see this little guy. It will help us all not to forget to pray for his recovery and for him and his family during this very difficult time if we have a face to go with the name.

Also, thank you for telling us about him, so we can all lift him up in prayer. You are a good friend.

God Bless, Nancy
