Prayer Request

Uncle Nate and Trever at Trever's Baptism

I have been waiting to post this until I had more information. Jason's brother Nate was in a 4-wheeler accident on Friday July 31st**. He went off an 8 foot drop and fractured his L5 vertebra (lower back bone) and his hip. He under went surgery today to fix his back, which took longer than expected. He suffered some permanent nerve damage and is having some issues with his left leg. I don't have all of the details as Jason didn't ask too many questions, but this was the basic information that I got. I'm sure they'll be finding out more tomorrow when he has a little time to recover from the surgery. He is scheduled for a second surgery to repair his hip on Friday. I ask that you keep him and the rest of the family in your thoughts and prayers.

We pray for God's healing hands be laid upon him. Give him strength and patience as this will be a long and grueling recovery for him. We pray for the Doctors and Nurses who are taking care of Nate, that they have steady hands and wisdom to help him make a full recovery. My dear brother-in-law, we wish we could be by your side and hold your hand through this, but we trust that you are in the best hands there is...His hands.

We love you Nate!

**Edited - Date corrected, I originally put June 30th. It was late when I posted....and I was tired.

Ever have a day like this????

UPDATE:
So sorry for the delay in updating on Stellan (we've been a little pre-occupied with Nate). After a few more days in the hospital, Stellan was weaned off of his iv meds and put on a new oral regimen. He has fought his way once again. He is now back home with his new, new, new normal. Thanks for the prayers, this little guy sure is a strong example of Christ's work. I am amazed by him...and by Him. Welcome home sweet boy.

Stellan and the rest of the MckFamily need your prayers more than ever. Stellan is going to be airlifted to the Boston Children's Hospital. What started off as a "3-day hospital stay just try try a new regimen of drugs" turned into any Mother's worse fear. Poor Stellan is not doing well at all.

He's been in SVT for a few days. He started vomiting last night around midnight - can't keep anything down. His body temp is 94.7 and his extremities are cold. He's retaining fluid and is barely urinating. His poor little heart is having to work so hard and it's really taken a tole on him.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
