Good morning. My family and I would appreciate anyone who would offer up a prayer for my son Ethan today.
At thirteen, he is the youngest of our four boys. I’ll spare the whole story, but late last fall he was diagnosed with rare immunodeficiency disease called CD40 Ligand Deficiency.
After a long journey, we were referred by Riley’s Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis to the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
We have been here for a month and today is the day he is receiving his Bone Marrow Transplant or “Day Zero”.
We feel it was God’s providence that we ultimately ended up here under the care of the very physician who discovered this disease in 1993.
He and my wife will be here for several more months as I must return home shortly for work.
I feel there are many good men here and I enjoy being a member of the Campfire and have tried to pray for the many different request that are posted.
That being said my family, specifically Ethan and my wife, will be in much need of prayer.
Thank you and God bless.
Prayers for the young man and his parents.
I'll pray for him and your family.
Prayer sent from south Jersey for God's healing Grace to bring your son through this crisis.

Prayers for Ethan and the family.
Praying for faith, wisdom, assurance.
Knowing that He works all things according to His will.
Knowing and understanding God's will is often (usually) difficult to impossible for us to fathom.
May He give you all the measure of faith needed to maintain hope in the ultimate plan of God for each of you.
Recall Yeshua's prayer in the garden, before His arrest, trial and crucifixion. He ended the prayer with "nevertheless, not my will, but your will be done"!
Praying for God's perfect will to be accomplished, and your family's peace, love and assurance of God's ultimate care.

My daily reading this morning included praying for the sick. Intercession. Made me smile when I read it a minute ago.
My heart is heavy for all of you, and you are surely in my prayers. Is there anything else the Fire family can do to support you?

Prayers for Ethan and your family!
My wife and I hope you and your wife will remain strong and He will take care of things. The two of you and your son will be in our prayers. Ethan has one thing going for him already. A mother AND a father to care for him.

I am not a religious man but will keep him in my thoughts. May he weather the storm. MTG

My heart is heavy for all of you, and you are surely in my prayers. Is there anything else the Fire family can do to support you?
I appreciate that Paul. That is very kind and I am sure others had the same question.
The prayers happen to be what we most desire and we are humbled and appreciative of each and every response to this thread.
There are many wonderful, small communities in southern Indiana and we are fortunate to call one our home.
As a matter of fact, excepting my service time, we’ve lived here all our lives.
Our community, it’s churches, Ethan’s teachers, fellow students, and our own family(which is quite large) has came together to support us in every way possible.
My wife and I were approached by our pastor and members of the community who informed us they were going to do every thing they possibly could for us with or without our blessing,lol.
We were taken completely by surprise.
We have been humbled and overwhelmed by the outpouring of support that has been offered to us.
It has melted our hearts and forever changed us.
There are many wonderful people all across this country and we stand ready to be a help and blessing to others.
Your family and especially your son will be in our prayers.
Long road ahead, prayers sent.
You are so very fortunate to have the support of so many.
We try to have empathy and support any and all that need Prayers ….you have ours! memtb
