UPDATE: Stellan was born healthy and they can find no trace of his heart problems now! WOW! Check it out here.
If you frequent my blog, you have probably noticed the button to the right that says “Praying for MckMama”....that one….right there.-------------------------------------------->
I found her blog through another blog I read. She is pregnant with her 4th baby and was told 13 weeks ago that his heart was irreparably damaged due to a congenital electrical defect very similar to Tim’s and that IF he made it to a viable gestational age, he would be delivered, but would likely die before that. She posted to her blog vigilantly while in the hospital for weeks and weeks enduring the side effects of antiarrythmic drugs she was taking on behalf of little unborn Stellan.
And then miraculously, Stellan’s little heart went back into a normal sinus rhythm, his hydrops decreased, and his heart size came closer to normal (though it is still somewhat enlarged). She was sent home and by the glory of God, tomorrow she will deliver little Stellan via c-section at 37 weeks gestation!
All bets are off as to how Stellan will fair once he is separated from his lifeline inside his mommy’s womb, but please take time to say a prayer for her (or send some positive thoughts her way), little Stellan and the doctors and nurses who will attend the delivery tomorrow morning at 9:30am CST.
