Lacey Graves: I have a prayer request update.  My niece's husband, Joshua Jarrell will not have the bone marrow transplant until later in May.  Instead, he is entering a clinical trial where they inject this experimental drug, and it puts a marker on the Leukemia cells in his bloodstream. Then his own immune system knows to attack and kill those cancer cells. They have had success with 28 other patients, and we are praying that it is God's will for him to be #29. (updated 4/12)
