Praying for Stellan

Prayers for Stellan


I'm praying for Stellan, the MckMiracle Baby, also known as MckMuffin. He had heart problems in utero and his family was told he wouldn't live. There was a massive prayer campaign and this little miracle was born, astonishing everyone. No heart problems, no need for medications, healthy, happy, adorable baby.

A recent illness apparently triggered the heart problem again and it's touch and go for this little guy. If you click on his picture above (Praying for Stellan) it will take you to MckMama's blog where you can read about his struggle to live. Please pray for Stellan and his family.

Stellan is around 5 months old and this is what he looks like on a good day.
Have you ever seen a cuter baby? Here's a snippet copied from his Mom's blog (from last month), just to give you a little background. ***MckMuffin is our cuddly 4 month old son S! In the womb, he was diagnosed with heart failure: premature atrial contractions at 20 weeks; supraventricular tachycardia, hydrops, and intermittent advanced secondary heart block at 23 weeks; and enlargement of the heart at 32 weeks. When the doctors told us at 24 weeks that our very ill baby would surely die, we chose to give our son completely to God, for He alone knows best. We have not stopped praising our Lord since then, for MckMuffin was healed and was born a well and whole full-term baby...with dimples!***


If you've ever heard me talk about the three things I'd like to have if I was stranded on a desert island, you know the answer would be a coke, popcorn and a muffin.

I'll take this one to go please!
It would make my day to be able to rock and snuggle h-i-m.
