Today I had the amazing opportunity to witness a miracle happen and I am feeling quite grateful and humbled by the whole experience and wanted to share with you.
Those of you in the blogging world or who read my blog, may know of Jennifer McKinney (aka MckMama) and her baby Stellan. Stellan has been struggling with SVT- Supraventricular Tachycardia, a rapid rhythm of the heart- since before birth.
Stellan, just barely a year old, has had numerous hospitalizations and medications over the past year, but the stubborn SVT always returned and seemed worse each time. It was clear when Stellan crashed so quickly with his last bout of SVT, that a special procedure called an Ablation would be needed as soon as possible.
Today, that surgery took place and was a complete success!! The road to get there was very rocky and unstable at times, but the outcome was amazing and nothing short of a miracle!
IT’S A HOME RUN!!!!!!!Just call me “me of little faith,” I guess. I was floored, shocked, utterly speechless when Dr. A came in and put his hand on my shoulder and said that Stellan’s ablation was indeed the home run we had all only dared dream about.
Jennifer has Tweeted, Blogged and updated Facebook as her little guy’s story has unfolded. It has had most of us captivated for a while now. I, for one, am grateful that she decided to share her story with us. I just know that all the prayers, love and faith that has been sent her way has helped her and her family more than we’ll ever know. I look forward to watching Stellan recover from his surgery and grow into a strong, healthy baby boy!
My prayers and thoughts go out to Jennifer, Stellan and their family…I know that they will be sleeping much better tonight.
I urge you to visit MckMama.com and read her story about her miracle baby, Stellan, and to also witness the thousands that have joined in prayer on her site. It’s truly amazing to see!
Stellan
UPDATE: Stellan is still having a rough go after surgery and could still use all the prayers and kind thoughts you have to send their way.
