Pray Pray Pray Pray

UPDATE 7/28 AM: I don't think Stellan has been airlifted to Boston just yet. I wanted to pass along some great news though. He went for a stretch of an hour and a half last night with NO SVT! It may not seem like a long time, but it was a great break for his overworked body. He seems to have had a decent night overnight and the concoction of drugs that the docs have him on now are at least popping out of SVT every once in a while which is a good thing. Pray things continue to get better today!

UPDATE: In case you aren't following MckMama on her blog or twitter, I thought I would update here. Stellan is being airlifted sometime tonight along with both his mom and dad to Boston Children's Hospital to have another ablation to correct his SVT. Most likely, while doing that, he will need to have his chest opened up and will end up being put on a pacemaker for the rest of his life. Pray for peace and comfort for this family and wisdom and steady hands for the doctors as they perform surgery on his little heart.

ORIGINAL POST:
Baby Stellan is back in the hospital and doing very very very poorly. He had a very rough night last night and it seems by all medical evaluations that his little body is shutting down. To put it in perspective for you his entire family is on the way to the hospital now to be with him. The doctors are trying everything in their power right now to help him. Even though I don't know them, have never met them, and will never meet them, I am shaking right now as I type this. I don't know how to explain it, but I have read MckMama's blog daily now for at least the past year and I feel somehow connected to this family and all that they have gone through with little Stellan. Please lift this family up in prayer in this very scary time. Lift the doctors and medical teams up in prayer that they know what is best for Stellan. MckMama has been updating her blog through http://twitter.com/MckMama if you are interested in staying up to date with Stellan's medical state.
