His story has touched the hearts of many across the nation.
Now, hundreds of churches are planning to join the family in prayer for Ethan Powell's recovery.
Ethan Powell was welcomed into the world by his parents Ben and Becky Powell on December 5, 2006. Two months later their baby's first check up turns into the first of a series of hospital visits.
February 2007, Ethan was diagnosed with leukemia. The next day, he was flown to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
This was the start of Ethan's battle to survive and his parents' struggle to cope with his disease. The search began for a bone marrow donor --one who's match may save Ethan's life. His father is a slight match, but the Powells are hoping for a donor whose marrow will yeild more promising results.
Swab tests for potential donors were held for weeks. A WEBSITE was started to track Ethan's progress. Internet sites like YOUTUBE show video of Ethan getting his story out to millions.
Media coverage catapults Ethan's story to the hearts of many across the nation. Now, doctors say the disease has spread to 56 percent of his bone marrow. And the infant's organs are at risk.
Family and friends of baby Ethan are asking you to join them in a unified day of prayer.
