Jan DeGruy requests prayers for a family that she and her family met last July while they were at the Ronald McDonald house in New York,  Their 12 year old son had just arrived for his bone marrow transplant.  They were still there in Oct (#2 transplant) and then again in Feb (shortly after they had to do #3 transplant).  By March it looked like he would go home, in fact they had a date set.  Shortly after things began going down hill and no improvement.  Craig  Washington is the young man's name.  He has a 2 year old sister and a 4 year old brother and a mommy and daddy that love him very much.  This family is physically and emotionally spent, but they keep hope.  The doctors have given Craig less than 1% survival rate, but the family is asking for a miracle.  The DeGruy's met with mommy and daddy when they went back to New York in April.  They are wiped, but hopeful.  Since then things have gotten worse.  Please pray for strength and peace for everyone.  That God will be merciful and wrap His arms around them.  This has been a very long ten months away from home for this whole family.  If you want to read his story you can go to caringbridge.com/deltonourhero. 

Praise God, even though Vivian and Craig Waters' grandson (Brendan) did slightly cut his tendon the doctor feels there wasn't any damage.  He has to go back to Children's Hospital in two weeks for a follow-up and Craig and Vivian pray that the doctor is correct.  Please continue to pray for Brendan.
