If you have a minute...

Not sure if it is the cardiac nurse in me, the mom in me, the sap in me, or all of these things, but my heart has been breaking over the story of this precious little boy who lives somewhere in the midwest. Maybe it's because his sweet face reminds me of Ben's chubbier days, who knows. Anyway, I found this woman's blog by clicking through from another blog that I follow, it's totally random... but it has captured my thoughts and weighs heavily with me. I actually have some really serious thoughts on the subject, and it makes me struggle with my faith in a way that I don't care to deal with, most of the time. 

Long story very, very short, this little guy was diagnosed with SVT (unhealthily fast heart rate, to put it super simply) while he was still in his mother's womb. He was not expected to be born alive. However, he made it. His delivery went well, and he appeared to be a miracle baby. It is now five months later, and he is again in SVT. A week's worth of treatment has not been able to permanently break him out of it, and the effects of a week's worth of a heartrate in the 200s is taking its toll.

If you have a minute, if you could send some prayers heavenward for this little boy, it surely can't hurt. I can't stop thinking about this little guy and his family, pretty much 24/7.
