Prayer Request
As some of you know that follow my blog our son, Ethan, has cancer and he relapsed last August. I am saddened to say that Ethan's cancer has progressed and we did not receive a very good report from his Doctor. He is still feeling great and you can't see any signs of this physically, but we don't know what the future holds. So I will be taking a "break" from my stamping blog. I'm sure all of you understand that I'm needed elsewhere right now! Thanks to all of you that check in and for all your kind words. This will definitely be the hardest thing I've ever had to go through in my life. So go hug your kiddos and live each day to the fullest! Please keep my Ethan and our family in your prayers! GOD BLESS!

you are in my prayers.
You don't know me and I only know you through your blog,but my prayers are with you and your family. You are a great person...hang in there!
Keep you blog open Alicia so some of us can let you know that we are thinking of you. I have highlighter your site on google reader so I can get back to you.
P.S. Can we send him thinking of you cards?
I know I'll sure be praying and knowing that God has a plan for Ethan. I hope you'll post little updates when you can, but most certainly we all understand. God bless you and your family.
I'll definitely be thinking of you. I have my own little Ethan; I can't even imagine what you're feeling. Positive thoughts and prayers your way.
My heart hurts for you and your family during this uncertain time. I add my prayers to so many others that are being offered up to God to help your little guy get better in the weeks and months to come. Be strong and have trust.
Alicia,
Ethan and your family have been in my prayers and will continue to be. Stay strong. God bless you all.

Like Judy asked, could we send Ethan cards? I lost my precious daughter, Jennifer, on April 21, 2006 to Cystic Fibrosis. She was 28 years old and enjoyed getting mail her whole life. I would love for little Ethan to go to his mailbox and find well wishes! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

I came to your blog through another blog...and wanted you to know that your family is in my prayers. I have a son with epilepsy that can't be controlled with medication. I know what you mean when you say that every day is precious and to hug your children. We don't have the promise of tomorrow, but we can treasure today and make the best of what we do have. Life is precious and your family will be in our prayers.
My Prayers are with Ethan and your family.
{{{Hugs}}}
I just happened to click on your blog and read your post from 3/8. I believe it was no accident, as God would like me to pray for you and your family. I can't even begin to know or understand. I just wanted to leave this to let you know that I am praying!
I pray that God will lay his healing hands on Ethan and give his doctors and surgeons the wisdom and knowledge to treat him in the very best way that they can. May God bless you all.
With love,
Jill S
i will pray and think of your family and pray for a miracle. my god hold you all in his hands while you go through this

Oh I'm so sorry you all are going through this. I'm sending prayers your way
Big hugs
I've been a follower of your blog for some time ... your entire family is in my prayers!
Praying for Ethan and your whole family in this difficult time...

Oh Alicia! I am so sad to hear that. I thought of you several times last week during a radio-thon for our local children's hospital and hoped that Ethan was doing better. We will all pray for you and your family. Take care. Leanne
I pray for you often and will continue to hold you all in my heart. God's peace and stength to you.
My prayers are with you. I do not know you or your family but wwe do have the Cancer in commom. My daughter was diagnosised with a brain tumor in '96 at the age of 19 and it returned in '99 just before her 13th birthday and she passed in 2001. It was devasting but for 2 years we did not give up hope and when the time came for her passing she went with dignity and love. We were on a holiday and the night before she died she went to see the Lion KIng. It has been almost 8 years since she passed and I think about her and I am always talking about her because if you do not talk about someone who died then they never lived. I spent every minute with her and I never gave up hope. You do not know what the future will bring, just enjoying the time we have with all our children wether sick or not it is a precious tome and too short. Having a child who is sick makes you really enjoy what we have. Enjoy Ethan just because he is your son not because he is sick. I did and I have no regrets. I now have an angel who is definitely looking aftter our family. Take Care
my prayers are with you and your family!!
Lauren had a post about Ethan and I just wanted to send my prayers. I'm so sorry for your news and we will be thinking positive thoughts for your family.
Oh, Alicia. I had no idea things had gotten so bad. Oh my goodness. My heart is breaking for you and your precious Ethan. I am sending you all my love and prayers and as many hugs as you need. ((((HUGS))))
Alicia, I don't know you and was directed here through Lauren's blog. I am praying for healing and peace for your family. my 28 year old son was diagnosed with cancer in 07. It gave me comfort to know that he had many people praying for him, most didn't even know him. So I hope knowing that people everywhere are praying for all of you helps you in some way. try to take care of yourself while you are caring for him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Alicia,
I feel like I have grown to know you and your family from reading your blog. I can't begin to imagine what you must be going through. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
My heart aches for you. I'm praying for your family that Our Father will hold you in His loving embrace and give you comfort in this very difficult season.
From a mother to another mother:
God bless you! I just wish you all the best for little Ethan and your family. Take all the time for your family. As a mother of two little children I really feel with you!
Hugs from Germany!

Alicia,
I was directed here from Lauren's blog yesterday. I spent most of last night reading your blog and am so touched by your family. As a mother I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. Your strength through all of this is so inspirational. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
You are in our thoughts and prayers... I have 4 children and I could not even start to imagine what you are going thru.

Lauren's blog directed me here. I am so very sorry for all that you and your family are going through. Your children are just beautiful...what a sweet photo you have on your blog. It just breaks my heart to hear when a child gets sick, and I can't even begin to imagine your worry and heartache. Know that many of us (who don't even know you) are willing to share some of your burden wand worry. Enjoy each and every moment with your kids, and celebrate each and every new day with them. God bless you all, and I will lift you in prayer!
Your children are SO beautiful. I'm beyond sorry that Ethan is sick. It has to be awful for you all. I can't even imagine. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I have requested prayers from friends, too. I wish I could do something more...please just know that I CARE about you and your family...I hope Ethan can fight this horrible disease. Take care. HUGS!!!
Someone here in Liverpool England is thinking of you, praying for you and sending you love.
