Well, I usually don't put makeup on too often on my days off. Today I did put on a little. It was pointless. I have already cried it all off. I follow a blog called "My Charming Kids". This woman is awesome and their is no other way to explain her. The youngest of her four kids(ages 4 and under!)is 5 mos old and is in open heart surgery as we speak for a heart ablation at an awesome hospital in Boston. His chances of making it through are not the best of odds. But I follow this blog along with about half of the world and the prayers that are being said for baby Stellan right now have to give him a chance of survival above and beyond any known to God's people. Please check out the blog on my side bar and pray pray pray for Stellan.
Unfortunately heart problems seem to run in my mom's family. Supposedly none of it is genetically linked. I don't believe it. My grandpa had his first heart attack in his early 50's and later an anurism caught before it burst. Thankfully he is still with us. His father died of a heart attack at a young age. My cousin Stacy had open heart surgery at two. She is now 30 and pregnant with her first child! My cousin Seth was two when he had open heart surgery. He did not make it and our family barely did. He has been with God now for 6.5 yrs and we miss him more than you can imagine. In my opinion it was evident from the beginning he was truly only meant to be here a short time. He was the sweetest child ever. Always cuddly and loving. He had the sweetest most beautiful big eyes. He was an angel from the very beginning. If Stellan doesn't make it I know he will have a friend in heaven waiting to play with him. But we will pray that their play date won't come for a very very long time.

Kate, I just found your blog through others and can't believe the amount of prayers and support for Stellan. That whole story is so devastating and its hard to imagine how his parents can be so amazingly strong. WOW!
