Amazing - Stellan Update

I'm still amazed by the work of our Creator - our Healer. Stellan had an outstanding ablation and there is no SVT in sight. He does have some recovering to do, but he has left me speechless. What an amazing demonstration on the power of prayer and trusting in God.

I am so happy for Stellan and the rest of the MckFamily. Please go to their blog and get the full story on Stellan's amazing day.

Lots of love little man!!!!

Stellan - prayers needed

***I stole this picture from MckMama's blog***

- I admit it, I'm a thief, but I just have to look at this adorable face while my knees are getting bruised, my hands are cramping, my lips are moving faster than I can speak the words, and my heart is aching for this little boy.

I haven't been posting about Stellan and his latest ordeal, mainly because I didn't know what to write. My heart is heavy and my eyes are swollen. Stellan has been a part of my life since I became pregnant with my son. They are 2 months apart in age and I cannot even fathom the idea of having my son go through what Stellan is going through.

Stellan is in Boston undergoing another ablation for his heart. Well - as of right now they are still working on getting all his lines placed in order to perform the ablation. He has been very sick and his little heart had even stopped at one point and the team had to get it started again. You can follow MckMama's blog for updates, but please say a prayer for this family. Pray for strength, courage and understanding. Their faith in Him is amazing.

Hugs and Kisses sweet Stellan!

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.

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.

Stellan Update

Stellan made it through surgery - Praise the Lord!!! He is recovering and will be extubated soon. MckMama is working on a full post with all the details and it should be up in a little bit. For now just know that this sweet boy is not totally out of the woods yet. MckMama is sitting with him in recovery and I'm sure there are lots of Angels wrapping their wings around them. Thanks for all the prayers - keep them coming.

Pray for Stellan today

All prayers are needed right now and for the next few hours. Stellan is currently in surgery - having an ablation done on his heart. Please take a minute to pray for this little boy, everyone who is with him in the OR - let their hands be guided by Him, and for the rest of the MckFamily. I will continue to update as I receive them. You can also check out MckMama's blog for updates.


Orange is for you little Stellan. We love and pray for you!
