Lucas is 4 months old!

4/13/24

Dear Family and Friends, 

I decided not to e-mail this out because he was JUST in the hospital a couple days ago for that short stay and I didn't want to overload people.

Lucas is 4 months old! I got some cute pics and just wanted to highlight him. I can't WAIT til he's a bit bigger.😊

Updated 8/2 2pm: Recovery & Home!

Image
Hello Family and Friends, I'll send out an e-mail this morning and continue to update this post as we go along with Lucas' recovery so feel free to check back here if you wonder how he's doing. 😊 I can kick of day 1 of recovery to say he's doing so very well! I went home last night and didn't realize how tired I was until I got there and couldn't keep my eyes open! I slept so hard and throughout the night, feel very energized this morning. I also listened something by Sr. Miriam Hedlund about love and healing and allowed myself to cry all the way into the hospital which got some much needed energy out. Pressing into love more profoundly has been so transformational for me in the last few months navigating all this helping me to simply BE with what is happening right now instead of going off on tangents in my head worrying about things and feeling bad for being detached or needing to cope. I am buzzing with delight as I am now able to become a conduit of GOOD NE...

ER Visit 5/2/25 - Updated: Home on 5/6/25

Hey All, It's me again. Lucas was doing well recovering at home from his cold and here we are again. 3 It's Friday 5/2 and I brought him into the ER around 8:30pm because he had been breathing pretty hard, fast and with retractions since 7:30pm. Nothing has been out of the ordinary at home so,  not sure at this point what is going on. They suctioned him,  took a chest xray and got a swab to treat for influenza b and covid. They tried giving him albuterol and when that didn't seem to help they started him on hiflow. His breathing has calmed down a bit but not completely.  Now that he is on hiflow he'll definitely be admitted. It's about 2am on 5/3/25 as I write this (still in the ER) and they got the chest xray back and he has edema in his lungs. The nurse practitioner who has been consulting with the team for updates told me that she's not concerned with with amount of fluid,  it's not pneumonia, but looks patchy and likely from a new virus he ma...

Updated 7pm - Surgery Day!

Image
---------------------------------------------updates below---------------------------------------------------  Hello family and friends, Surgery day is here. I woke up at 4:15am and got to the hospital at 6am to check Lucas in. We got taken back to get vitals and talk with the Surgeons, nurses and anesthesiologist and they took Lucas back to begin his pre-operation stuff. My friend Louise is with me, we left the hospital around 7:30am.  They said it would take about 1hr-1.5hrs until he would actually be in surgery. They gave me a cell phone to get updates on, but clarified that it may mostly be that the surgery has started and that it is finished. No news is good news. We just heard that the surgery started at 9:16am! The surgery will take 4 hours at the minimum. They will test the repair once complete and if they see anything that needs additional attention, they could go back in and it could take another 2 hours. I'll post updates on here if you get curious and I'll send out...
