Roughly two hours after the last update we received a call from the hospital. Lucy's heart rate had dropped and they asked if we could come to the hospital. We arrived to find the medical team in her room working to get her heart rate back to normal. The transport team waited outside, along with the OR team on standby. We stood outside her room watching her vitals and as her heart rate dropped to 27 beats, I buried my head into Mike's shoulder and lost it. We weren't sure she would make it through. It took another half hour to stabilize her. But that included putting Lucy back on all the medications and breathing support.
As of Wednesday morning she is stable. Lucy is on pain and sedation to keep her comfortable. We have no reason as to why this happened other than she was really upset and that put her over the edge. Tonight is the Cath Conference where the cardiologists and surgeons discuss all active cases. We are hoping that by the end of this week we have a new plan. But until then......We just wait and pray that this last episode did not cause Lucy any additional trauma.
I read your updates and I pray for you and your family daily, I have told my little boys about Lucy and her mom's connection to their mom through Winona State. Please know you have lots of prayers and positive vibes coming your way from Winona.
ReplyDeleteLucy is a very strong beautiful baby, I really love her gorgeous smile. The three of you are very courageous in how you are handling Lucy's situation. You and Mike have been extremely tough through this whole ordeal. Know that you have so many people praying for both of you and Lucy. I love you and trust what God has in store for Lucy is for the best.
