We're so excited to "meet" you!
I just checked my past posts and I can't believe I haven't posted about this sweet boy before! I mean, I kinda' have with my Not Me! Monday posts...but not just about he and his family.
Back in July when his sweet mama (affectionately known around the world as MckMama) was 24 weeks pregnant (some of my details may not be entirely correct...I am not medical), Stellan's heart went crazy...he had severe heart blockage and some pretty crazy tachycardia. MckMama was told that Stellan's only chance of surviving outside of the womb would be feasible if he made it to 31 weeks...but with the state of his heart, he wouldn't survive another 24 hours even in the womb.
And thus began the prayer vigil...and the phenomena known as Stellan-mania.
Actually, I just made that up...but it's pretty ridiculous how many people, literally, around the world "know" MckMama, Stellan and the rest of her brood and are praying for her faithfully.
All of that to say, in about 35 minutes-ish, MckMama is headed in to the OR for a c-section to deliver sweet Stellan at 39 weeks (I think). He has been doing SO well! They even took her off the medication she was taking for his heart.
Three months ago, Stellan had irreversible heart blockage.
Now there is no evidence of it.
Three months ago, Stellan's doctors said he wouldn't live another 24 hours.
Three freaking months ago.
And he'll be here among us in a little more than half an hour.
And there is a good chance he won't need medical intervention.
Un-freaking believeable. That's how stinking cool our God is.
So, pray for Stellan and MckMama.
(Oh, and for all the accurate details, read MckMama's blog: My Charming Kids. You will be blessed, encouraged and entertained.)
