Pray for Stellan

I'm asking all of my readers to please pray for MckMama's Stellan...he has been in the hospital with some very serious heart issues for the past few days, and it seems to be getting worse (Click Here for this morning's update). Most of you know Stellan's Story, but if not, I encourage you to read about this little miracle. He desperately needs another miracle to survive, so please, if you have some time, pray for Stellan and his medical team, as well as his family.

Thanks.

    Nate, there are so many people over on MckMama's blog community that want to help, in addition to the zillion of prayers we're all sending her way. Can you think of anything that we can do for her...the power of this many followers can be an amazing gift in times like these.

    Thanks,
    Jenn

    Thanks for letting everyone know about Stellan. So many prayers have been lifted up on his behalf.

    I know that I found her blog through yours, as did many others. The prayers for them and the support from their readers are just another way your family is acting as a blessing to so many.
    Tricia's CF continues to bless others, just as she wanted!

    Thank you for letting your lives be a God thing!

    I did not know you were friends with MckMamma. What a support you must have to offer her! After my miscarriage and of course a shattered heart, I learned that I became a member of a club I never wanted to join. Several years later, my heart still hurts , but I hope to offer that support to others, too. May God continue to bless both of your families!

    I'm praying! He is a cutie isn't he! We certainly know that God is still in the business of performing miracles. Just look at your two girls! I'm so thankful that JESUS is the same, yesterday, today and forever!

    I just read their story for the first time. I cannot imagine not knowing what the future held for my child. My heart breaks for that family and yet they are praising God so well through it all. Even as a Christian myself, I'm impressed. Even though I know we'd all be expected to do that. I will definitely keep them in my prayers. I hope that God gives them another miracle and that their little boy will live to be an old man.

    Just another prayer warrior on behalf of Stellan... :-)

    I read your quick update story and wanted to tell you that you have a beautiful family!!! Your miracle baby is indeed a blessing and you can see the love and joy she brings!

    Out of curiosity... You live on OBX so I'm curious if you are enjoy watching the Sea Turtles nest and then hatch? I was able to witness this once in Jekyll Island, GA back in 1995 and am waiting for the day I get to do it again! Such a neat experience! :-)

    I hope Tricia gets to feeling better!!!

    I'm praying for Stellan. I'm on a list with other moms of many and there is one who has a baby girl with the same condition as Stellan's. Right now, she's at WakeMed and I think she's been at Duke this week.

    Thanks for the updates, Nate. I think MckMama's blog is overloaded & updates/twitters aren't publishing... I just added her to my blog, as well.
    You & Trish & your story are such a blessing (I found your blog through MckMama's a while ago).
    Praying all day, from Texas.

    Hello Nate,
    I've been meaning to ask you why you describe CF as a terminal illness when many patients do well into their 40's and beyond. To me that's just like saying life is terminal.
    Emily.

  31. CFHusbandMarch 25, 2009 at 1:02 PM

    @Emily

    The word "terminal" when used in a medical sense, refers to a disease (as in "terminal cancer") that will end a life because it cannot be cured, or to a person (as in "terminal patient") who's life will end because of a disease/illness/injury/etc. (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/terminal)

    Although "terminal" is often used to refer to patients that have less than 12 months to live, it is generally used to refer to any patient that has an incurable disease that is expected to cause death. Although you are correct in saying that "many" CFers live into their 40's and beyond, many more do not, including those who do not live beyond a few days or weeks.

    It's simply a (carefully selected) choice of words.

    Maybe it's used a bit more in the US as I don't really hear anyone in the UK using that phrase?

    Best Wishes,
