Baby Stellan



This is Stellan, who is Momma - MckMama calls MckMuffin. When he was in utero his heartrate went way high (into the high 200s, and early 300s) and they were told they'd lose him before he was born. Stellan was born healthy at the end of last year and has been thriving at home.

He had a cold and they took him to the ER because he'd already had RSV this winter, so they were being cautious. Upon arrival and two nebullizer treatments it was discovered that his SVT - Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (very high heartrate) - has returned. It is very dangerous for anyone to have a hearrate this high. Especially a baby who was already having breathing difficulties.

He has been on several very strong drugs to try and slow his heartrate, stop his hearrate and restart it, and beta blockers. Please pray with me, and nearly 800 others who have already stopped today to see the MckFamily at www.mycharmingkids.net. Stellan's parents believe, along with me, that God is capable and willing to do a miracle for this little boy. Please join in the prayer movement for this little boy! God moved miraculously on Stellan's behalf last year, I'm begging God to do it again!

  4. I had SVT when I was younger too. It was a very frightening thing when my heart would start racing. The doctors clocked me as high as 250 once. They did two surgeries on me and I haven't had any major problems with it since.

    This adorable little one is in my prayers!
