ORIGINANL POST:



Baby Stellan, who I've mentioned before, will be going into the OR, either tonight or tomorrow morning, to have a very serious and quite possibly, very risky (but necessary) surgery done. His heart has some extra electrical pathways, which won't respond to medications. The only answer is surgery to remove them. But, this surgery is super risky in infants due to their age/size. Also, Stellan's extra pathway/pathways are of an unknown type - so the surgeon/s aren't even sure what they'll find when they go in.

At any rate, he and his Mom, Jennifer, have been in the hospital for four weeks. Last week they were transferred from their local hospital in Minnesota to a hospital in Boston. Jennifer's Dad is with her, but her husband remains home with their other three chilren. Can you even imagine???

Of course she is scared, but she has the Lord in her heart and with her. Please pray with her, and me, and thousands of others, as this ordeal unfolds. Thank you!
