I’m blogging tonight from Lucy’s room. I’m staying with her tonight on her first night in the stepdown unit.
Lucy is doing well. There’s talk of possibly removing the final drainage tube tomorrow, which would make holding and snuggling her seem so much less frightening.
One of the main concerns now is that Lucy has reflux that has caused her to vomit with more regularity than the surgeons are comfortable with. Tonight, she’s already vomited up bile, gastric juices, and mucus.
Please pray that whatever is causing Lucy to gag and vomit would stop. If she continues to vomit regularly, taking her home will be delayed and they’ll have to evaluate her gastrointestinal tract to find some cause. And, if they find a cause, it’ll most likely mean more surgery to correct it. So please, pray with us that God will continue to heal Lucy and that no further surgeries will be needed.
