Urgent Prayer Request!

I have a prayer request for us to pray about. I have been following a sweet christian mom's blog for the past several months. Most know her as MckMama. She has 4children, one of which (Stellan) is Austin's age. She was told during pregnancy with him that he would not make it due to heart problems. He not only made it full term, but was delivered and cleared of all possible heart problems. However, this past weekend, he had some trouble breathing, so they decided to take him to the ER, just to be sure it was indeed just a bad cold. To make a long long story short, he is in ICU with SVT. I don't know much about it, but from my understanding it's a very critical heart condition that is keeping his heart beating 220-300 bpm, and they can't get it to stop beating that fast regardless of all of the scary things they have done to him.

Anyway...she is trying very hard to stay strong...praying and trusting God's plan for Stellan, but I cannot IMAGINE all that she and her family are going through right now! Especially to have something like this happen without any warning. Stellan is miserable with all of the steroids, IVs, and medications he is on right now, and refuses to eat or nurse at all. My heart goes out to her! I couldn't help but cry reading all of her posts on this since Friday (I just saw them last night). If you want to follow, her blog is www.mycharmingkids.net.

Just please remember them in your prayers!
