<p>He's turning BLUE...Emergency rooms...his sweet COOs are really indications of fluid on his lungs. &nbsp;Can you imagine anything worse than seeing and hearing a surgeon say "Your two month old needs open heart surgery NOW?" Samuel was diagnosed with Super-Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT) AND severe mitral valve regurgitation- DOUBLE WHAMMY. R.L. Shawver speaks to Debby Montgomery Johnson on this episode of Stand Up &amp; Speak Up about his family experiences with his son, Samuel..."For This Child I Have Prayed" powerfully speaks to the strength, tenacity, and faith of a father and his unconditional love for his child. &nbsp;R.L's words to himself gave him power over his adversities. &nbsp;His struggle to be a "people pleaser" came to a head when the hospital parking attendant told him to move his car - "Say WHAT?" Personal "failures" throughout his life (relationships, weight challenges, and even his allegiance to his faith) haunted him UNTIL his courage got him to STAND UP &amp; SPEAK UP. &nbsp;There really are NICE guys out there and R.L. Shawver is one of them. &nbsp;Join us now for his life story which guides parents through a child's major medical experiences. Thanks to Beyond Publishing and Michael D.
