Prayers needed for Alvin Littlehead

Turquoisepony · 01-19-2006, 05:16 PM

Dear Friends,

Asking for prayers for Alvin Littlehead, lead singer for Northwest Connections, son of Arnold & Linda Littlehead. Alvin was diagnosed 3 months ago with a virulent form of leukemia. He is in stage 4. He has been hospitalized for 25 days, now, at St Vincent's Hosp in Portland, Oregon. The first round of chemotherapy was completed Monday of this week. A bone marrow biopsy was performed to see if the chemo helped. Sadly, the biopsy was negative. Two more aggressive drugs will be added to the next round of chemo. The doctors are not very optimistic and said the best medicine for Alvin right now is an abundance of prayers. Alvin has an infection in his lungs and is spiking a high fever that stays steady at 102.9. Alvin has his heart set on attending the PCC Sylvania Powwow this Saturday, and will be allowed out of the hosp to do so. All contact restrictions will be enforced to protect his fragile health. Alvin is not giving up. However, he & his family is exhausted beyond belief. So, once again, I am asking for a lot of prayers sent up to help support this family in their time of dire need.
If you can send a card or letter of support or give Arnold a call, here is the contact information.

I'm responding to the thread requesting prayer for Alvin Littlehead. I will be interceding for Alvin and will put him on our prayer request list at my church. I hope other native peoples will do the same. God our creator sent his son to die for our sins and he took all our sicknesses upon his body on the cross. By Jesus stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:1 - 6.

It is sad to report that Alvin passed away at about 3:30 on March 2, 2006. Please keep parents Arnold and Linda in your prayers.
