Prayers for Carter

Hi. Its me again. I know, so soon! But this is somewhat of an urgent request. I have the privilege of knowing the Kettner family from Huntley, Il and need to ask you to please pray for all of them - Joe, Cinnamon, Carter (6), and Bowen (2). I met the mother, Cinnamon, through St. Mary's nursery program and also attend the Mom's Bible Study with her. Cinnamon's son, Carter, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer last February. One of my favorites memories of this past holiday season was when the kids and I and a few hundred of the Kettner's closest friends, along with Santa of course, surprised them by showing up at their house on December 23rd (in the freezing rain) to sing Christmas carols for Carter. It was truly an amazing experience and one that I know Matthew, Megan and Hannah will never forget.

Carter, however, is back in the hospital and not doing well at all. Please please please pray for him and his family that they will have the strength necessary to get through this and to find the answers they need from the doctors. If you would like to learn more about the amazing Carter, you can check out his website at http://www.carterkettner.org/.

P.S. On another note, today is Miss Hannah's 3rd birthday! I will be sure to get another update of her special day soon. Until then, take care!
