The Crenshaws: Alex

My sweet nephew, Alex, is home from the hospital! Thank you, Jesus.

Alex has spent about 7 months at Cook's Children's Hospital in Fort Worth receiving treatment for Leukemia. For the first few months, doctors tried to heal him with chemotherapy, but when all attempts were unsuccessful, his doctors encouraged a bone marrow transplant. Alex was given a 50/50 chance, which was significantly better than his odds of success with chemo alone.

This sweet little boy took up residency at the hospital for the majority of his third year of life. But in turn, Alex has taken up residency in the hearts of so many. He has been unbelievably loved and covered by his family and a large community. This kiddo has a prayer network rivaling anyone or cause with which I am familiar. He has been prayed for during church services, at the Ft. Worth rodeo, at blood drives-- you name it. It is humbling to see the way the Lord is using his story.

Alex still has a way to go before he's in the clear. In fact, although he's going home, he'll have weekly doctors' appointments, more if there are complications. Alex is beating cancer! This little guy is going to have an amazing testimony to tell.

Alex gets a visit from his pastor, Rick Atchley.
