For I know the plans I have for Josh, declares the Lord, plans to prosper him and not to harm him, plans to give him hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 GO JOSH GO!
This is warrior Josh Powell, age 15 diagnosed almost 7 years ago w/ Neuroblastoma (a cancer of the Sympathetic nervous system). He had 6 rounds of chemo, 2 surgeries, stem cell transplant, radiation, 6 rounds of oral cis-retinoic acid, 9 rounds of Monoclonal Antibody therapy (3F8), in remission for 6 years by the grace of God!
Josh was treated by a wonderful team of Doctors and nurses at East Tennessee Childrens Hospital, Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Friday, July 10, 2009 11:40 AM CDT HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOSH!!!!!!!!!!!
Today Josh turns 17. He is happy, healthy and living life to it's FULLEST!! What more could we ask for?!?!
We are not hosting an Alex's Lemonade Stand this year. We have had it at our neighborhood Ingles Market for the past several years but they have a new policy about fundraising. We are brainstorming about what to do next year or perhaps later this year. (the picture is from last years stand)
Please wish Josh a Happy Birthday & pray for those continuing to fight this battle and the families who celebrate their child's birthday's without them. We are so very blessed for every moment and will never take that for granted.
Blessings to you, Sherry & family
