Please pray for Stellan!!

Ok, so this actually isn't about either of my boys...they are doing just fine (thank goodness!!). I follow the blog of a dear, sweet woman known as "MckMama". She has 4 children ages 4 and under. Her youngest, Stellan, was born last October. He was diagnosed with SVT, a dangerous heart condition, in utero and was not expected to be born alive. He surprised the doctors and was born "healthy". However, he's had many hospitalizations in his short life including surgery (an ablation to his heart). Stellan is back in the hospital yet again and it's very bad this time. He's been in SVT for the last 3 days straight, which means his heart has been beating at a very dangerous 230+ beats per minute. His doctors aren't sure if his body can handle another surgery with being so young, and understandably his parents are at a loss for words to describe the anguish they feel at the thought of possibly losing their son.

Please, PLEASE pray for this beautiful little boy!!! Please help the doctors to have wisdom and clarity to make the best decisions possible for Stellan's situation and please pray for his parents (and siblings) to have as much peace as they can during this time. We may lose this baby boy if something isn't done soon medically to reverse this. And most importantly, please pray for healing for Stellan...hopefully on THIS side of Heaven. He's a fighter... please lift him up in prayer so he may continue to fight this battle...and win it. That he may be strong enough to make it to the point where he can have the surgery he needs to save his life and get rid of the SVT forever.

As a mother of young children myself, I cannot even begin to imagine how MckMama and her family feel. The sting from the loss (or potential loss) of a child is something I don't think I could bear and I hope I'm lucky enough not to. Even the thought of my children in pain is something that is too tough to swallow. It just brings me to tears to think about this whole situation.

Thank you!! Oh, and you can visit MckMama's site for Stellan's story and updates by clicking here or by clicking the "Praying for Stellan" button on the right side of my blog. You can also follow MckMama on Twitter by clicking here.

I will update on Stellan's progress as I see more information. Thank you so much for your prayers...I know this family will appreciate them greatly.
