Stellan

I just added a link to the right side of our blog. If you click on it you will be sent to this families blog site. What follows below tells a little about this sweet baby who is in need of lots of prayers and healing. This story struck a nerve with me because Stellan is only about 2 weeks younger than Sophia. I can't even imagine his mother's pain. Please add Stellan and his family to your prayers.


Stellan (aka "McMuffin") was diagnosed with SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia) in the womb, and was not expected to live. SVT (in a nutshell) is a very high heartrate-- and a baby's heart cannot keep up that kind of pace long-term. Jennifer and her husband put their son completely in God's hands, and he was born full-term, with no signs of SVT.

Unfortunately, about 11 days ago, Stellan's heart flipped into SVT and he has undergone just about every procedure possible (except surgery) to get his heart into a normal sinus rhythm. He has to stay out of SVT for 24 hours, but so far, he's only stayed out (I think) for about 4-5 hours at the longest. There is no telling how long Stellan will have to remain hospitalized. He just turned 5 months old a couple days ago.

McMama's blog has received so many hits, and Stellan's story has become so widespread, that Jennifer was interviewed last night by her local TV station in Minnesota. Her is the link to the newcast: Ok, the link doesn't work by clicking on it but it does if you type the whole address in.

Incredible, isn't it? Even a little baby can spread God's message, of faith, hope, and love.
