Ethan needs prayers NOW

Below is an excerpt from Ethan Powell's website. This precious little soul has gone through so much in his tiny little life. I have found this web-site through a dear friend fo mine and I have praying for Little E ever since. Right now, they really need prayers. They have rushed the little guy down for chest x-rays and are now drawing blood cultures. Please pray that God sustain them and rid his tiny body of any infection. The chemo that he is about to endure is going to be pretty severe in the next couple of days and an infection right now could kill him. Please please pray. He's such a little fighter. Thanks guys.

3rd update/ 8:53pm [Ben] I just posted an update with pictures a few minutes ago, but since there has been a major prayer request. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW QUICKLY THINGS CHANGE AROUND HERE. While resting tonight his respiratory rate has dropped considerably low. In addition, he is sleeping very very hard. You can poke him, and I even sneezed pretty loud and he didn't budge. From what we were told, one of the first issues to look out for are breathing problems. Please pray for Ethan's lungs. ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I'VE SAID THIS... BUT THIS IS URGENT! PLEASE RALLY THE PRAYER TROUPS... ETHAN NEEDS PRAYERS NOW! BELIEVE. PRAYER WORKS!!!

4th update/ 10:02pm [Ben] We just rushed downstairs for a chest X-ray and now they are going to take blood cultures. This is how they check to see if he has an infection. If I get any news, I will post it. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR ETHAN'S LUNGS. The last thing that we need is breathing issues. However... BELIEVE WITH ME THAT THIS WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM. PRAY AND BELIEVE! PRAYER WORKS!!!
