Prayers needed for a sweet baby boy

PLEASE Pray for Stellan!!
I am an avid reader of MckMama's blog. They are an amazing family who love life, theie family, and most importantly the Lord. She has been such a huge inspiration to me with her faith and my heart hurts for what they are going through right now...Their youngest, 4 month old Stellan, is very sick and could really use all the prayers he can get! There are updates on her blog, but in short, he has an enlarged heart with a heart rate of nearly 300 bpm. The doctors have tried almost everything (including stopping his heart and restarting it) so far nothing has worked. He has had a really rough couple of days and his heart is growing weary I am sure. God has given this family a miracle once! Please pray for another one. Stellan was diagnosed with several severe heart conditions in the womb and was told he would never live on this earth. When he was born, a healthy full term baby, they couldn't find anything wrong with his heart. Apparently, this episode was brought on by a breathing treatment he was given when taken to the ER Sunday night for respiratory problems. Please pray for this family and this baby, please pray for complete healing for Stellan, and strength and comfort for his mom and dad.

And remember to give thanks for the MANY blessings in your own life each and every day :)

I have added this sweet family to my prayer list, as I cannot imagine how they are coping with such a hardship without someone out there answering some prayers. Thanks for sharing it Heather!

You are so wonderful to always think of others. As I re-enter the world of genetics, I am constantly reminded of how lucky we are and never to take a day of it for granted. Just today, i had to deliver devastating news to a family and pray that they too are coping well. I will add your blogger family to my ever-growing prayer list :)
