Stellan needs prayers once again!

A lot of you already know and follow MckMama's blog and therefore this will not be news, but some do not and so I am posting here because this little guy needs every prayer. Stellan almost died in utero due to an incredibly high heart rate. They were told there was no way he could live, he was in heart failure due to his consistantly high heart rate. He miraculously was completely healed, beyond anyone's wildest dreams, except God of course. He was born completely healthy and had no evidence of his near death experience just months before his birth. He was hospitalized due to RSV a couple of months ago, but again, recovered very quickly and thoroughly from that. Mcmama took him into the hospital last night due to a weeze and retraction during yesterday evening. While at the ER, the doctor ordered an albuterol NEB treatment and he got better right away. As they were getting ready to leave, he choked on some phlem and had a lot of trouble getting air. They succtioned him out and the doctor ordered another treatment to clear the phlem. During the treatment, his heart converted into that same high rate that almost took his life in utero. The have tried tons of things, including stopping his heart for a moment in hopes that once it starts again, it will convert into a normal heartrate. Nothing has worked. His heart is racing over 250 beats/minute. He is already showing signs of enlarged heart. His body cannot sustain this great a heartrate for long. PLEASE PRAY FOR STELLAN!!!! You can get to Mckmama's blog by clicking the MckMiracle button on the right side of my blog to get the most recent updates. Her faith is amazing and they are trusting in God, but she is a mommy has got to be terrified for her baby. This was completely unexpeted and no one was prepared for this. Please pray that Stellan's heart will convert and be miraculously healed for the second time and please pray that MckMama herself will be assured that no matter what the outcome, through it all, she is craddled in the very arms of our loving Savior.

I pray peace over Stellan's heart, Lord, You have authority over all things. I pray that you would touch him and heal him. I pray that You would surround this family with Your grace and Your peace at this moment. Lord, we know without a doubt that You are GOD. We trust you with this sweet baby. You are an unchanging God, deserving of all of our adoration and I praise You because of who You are. We are surprised, but You are not. Whatever the outcome, our faith will not waiver, You will remain God, but at the same time I urge You to restore Stellan to health fully and completely.
