Praying for Stellan

***UPDATE***
Stellan is home now! He never had to be airlifted to Boston and gets to wait at least a little while longer for his surgery.

***UPDATE***
Stellan is going to be airlifted to Boston to have another surgery. This is probably going to mean being dependant on a pacemaker for the rest of his life but as his mom said "If he ends up with a dead AV node and is pacemaker dependent for life, at least he'll have a life."

Last night Stellan was actually SVT free for an hour and a half which was a nice break for him and for his parents. Please continue to pray for Stellan and his family, for a safe trip, wisdom for the doctors, success in the surgery and for a quick recovery.

ORIGINAL POST:

I know not many people read this, but for those of you who do, please be on your knees in prayer for Stellan. Long story short, he was diagnosed with heart problems at 20 weeks gestation and they thought he would die in utero, but he was born alive and without any of the heart problems he had been encountering. Then at about 4 months old his heart problems reappeared. Since then, he has been in and out of the hospital and had surgery. He's in the hospital now and things aren't going so well.

After what we went through with Logan, it's hard to see another Mommy going through this. Stellan and his family need prayers for health, faith, wisdom, and comfort in the coming days. Hopefully I will be updating soon to say that Stellan is doing much better.

  1. Hi :) I just wanted to let you know I found your blog through a post you made on the blogfrog and also wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss.

    I've been reading your gut wrenching story and am sitting here in tears at the moment. Thank you for sharing ~ May God bless you and your family.
