A Special Urgent Request: Prayers for 4-year-old Dylan on Tuesday, May 26th

4-year-old Dylan Cain of Corvallis Oregon prepares for life-changing medical treatment and he needs your prayers on May 26th. Dylan was oxygen-deprived at birth and later was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Although he has made amazing progress due to intensive daily therapy, he remains legally blind, cannot walk on his own and has a vocabulary of fewer than a dozen words[1]. But now, Dylan has been accepted at Duke University School of Medicine for a 2-hour treatment that could change his life.

On May 26th Dylan will be infused with his own stem cells from cord blood banked at birth. The possibility exists that Dylan's brain injury could be reversed. Dylan's parents, Mark and Jinger Cain, are asking for 'prayers around the world' for Dylan so please pray for a miracle on this special day, with the vision of a keen-sighted Dylan, talking easily and walking tall.
