Please pray for little boy

This a dear little fellow, friends of mine who has had a recurrance of leukemia and has been fighting with a secondary infection for nearly 6 weeks now. He is 9 years old.

I just recieved this and it doesn't look good.
They are asking us to send this out to any prayer lists.... here it is.

>> Dear Friends,
>>
>> Unfortunately we received some bad news from the CT scan late this
>> afternoon. The fungal infection has progressed and is now in his
>> spleen, liver, kidneys, and brain and possibly his heart. He will have an
>> ECG tomorrow to check for sure as to how his heart is doing.
>>
>> Doctors seem to be at a bit of a loss as what to do as they haven't had
> much
>> experience with this type of ongoing fungal infection. Some of the doctors
>> are likely to suggest a lung biopsy which would mean further surgery to
> take
>> a piece of his lung to determine the specific strain of infection which
>> could allow them to fine tune the treatment.
>>
>> At this point, We think that might be best as we have mentioned
>> before, this type of infection has been fatal in other patients.
>>
>> While he looks better and is eating a bit now, if he is unable to
> get
>> past this hurdle then he may not have much time left with us.
>>
>> My wife and I are trying to maintain an even keel during the roller coaster
>> ride by trying not to get too high with the good news or too low with the
>> bad news. As long as he is still fighting we will keep being hopeful.
>>
>> We want to thank everyone for their prayers and ask you to feel free to
> pass
>> on our request to others you know who believe in the power of prayer.
>>
>> Specifically we are asking God for:
>>
>> 1. wisdom for the doctors to use their skills and abilities to determine
> the
>> next course of action.
>>
>> 2. the right medicines to attack this ongoing fungal infection.
>>
>> 3. rest and comfort for him, particularly during the nights when he
>> often has trouble sleeping.
>>
>> 4. peace of mind for my wife and I and our family as we continue this long
>> process.
>>
>> 5. For him to be healed from all of his ailments.
