Thank you for the lessons MckMama!

So I have totally been obsessed been coming home everyday from school to check on Baby Stellan. You see at 24 weeks gestation, Stellan's parents were told that their very ill baby would not live and he is now 5 months old! Five weeks ago, he was hospitalized and last Tuesday, he had to have very risky surgery on his heart in Boston (they live in Minnesota). MckMama (his mom) has been blogging about everything and it seems that every blog I visit has his button on it, including mine. Everyone is pulling for this little man. Check out his blog for his complete story at http://www.mycharmingkids.net/

It is amazing how someone can affect my thoughts and prayers and I haven't even meet them. I have read several blogs whose babies are sick and they have not touched me the way Stellan's story has. You see, MckMama is so real and transparent. Her strength, faith, and perseverance is unreal!! She has taught me not to sweat the small things and that the things I thought were big are really little. I have always felt blessed and grateful for my fabulous husband and kids, but because of her story, this week I have stepped back a bit and been that much more grateful!

Thank you MckMama for setting a stellar example for us all. Still praying for you and Stellan...
