Kayleigh was born very early and has been in the NICU for over 9 months. Can you imagine your baby being the hospital that long? Today she is having some surgeries to get her closer to going home with her Mommy and Daddy :) Here is the website in case the button doesn't show up right: http//www.kayleighannefreeman.blogspot.com
Here is the link to another blog I follow daily: http://www.mycharmingkids.net/
This is MckMama's blog. Their youngest baby, Stellan, is having intractable SVT, which is an abnormally fast heart rate/arrythmia, which does not fully respond to medications (and he's having yucky side effects from the meds too). The main problem with SVT is that it eventually causes heart failure and can cause pretty severe damage to the heart. He was diagnosed with SVT in utero but they thought he was cured. He has been in the hospital (PICU and Step Down Unit) at a Children's Hospital in Minnesota. They are flying to Boston right now for a 2nd opinion and possible surgery (an ablation, which is very risky for such a little baby and runs the risk of needing a pacemaker). They have 3 other children, all under the age of 4. By the way, the kids' names are "Big Mac", "MckNugget", "Small Fry" (their only girl) and Stellan's bloggy name is "MckMuffin", just in case you want to, um, MckPray for them :)
Have a good day and send some good wishes and prayers out to these people :)
love and hope
Erika, Matt, Emmy and O.J.
