Prayers for Stellan

I have been following MckMama's blog for a long time now. She is an amazing writer, mother, wife...just an all around great person! www.mycharmingkids.net
Her son Stellan, who is now 4 months old, was diagnosed in utero with heart failure. She was told that he would surely die. He was born full term, perfectly healthy...perfectly healed. A few days ago, he had a cold and was having a little trouble breathing. Since he had just had RSV a few weeks ago, she took him to the ER to check his breathing, etc. Things quickly went from bad to worse. It appears that he has SVT...the heart failure that we had all thought was non-existent. His poor little heart is in and out of V-Tach, an extremely deadly heart rhythm. Please pray...
I can't help but think what MckMama must have been thinking 1 week ago. Here she was with her 4 MSC (Many Small Children, as she says) all healthy, happy, and perfect as could be. Times like this just make me want to just cuddle my babies and never let go. I am so very thankful for each precious day I have with my family. Please, go tell those in your life that you love them. And say a prayer for this precious baby boy.
