STELLAN





Stellan is holding in there... they recently turned down his oxygen from 6 to 5 liters per hour. He is still at 50% oxygen. He was able to have 1 oz of Pedialyte, with the possibility of having mama-milk sometime soon. Please continue to keep the whole MckFamily in your prayers... fore more updates go to MckMama's blog www.mycharmingkids.net

STELLAN UPDATE!

Stellan has a very bad case of RSV (Eli was hospitalized for 5 days last year, and we caught it at the very beginning and one of the babies I cared for in Kenya died of it... so although it is a common childhood sickness, it can be quite serious) which stands for respiratory syncytial virus. He continues to be in distress...he is on oxygen and is borderline needing to be sedated and put on a ventilator to get oxygen to his lungs more effectively.

Please keep praying for this MIRACLE BABY!!!
