Just wanted to keep you all posted on Lucia's condition because I have a feeling that last blog sent hearts sinking...but also hearts praying....and as the title says, we have truly felt and experienced the power of your prayers, and we are so incredibly grateful.
Her cry is back, thank God, and honestly, Lucia seems to be acting like her real self again. She is still swiping away at her feeding tube and that cannula, and in fact, today during a diaper change when I was not paying attention (of course), she pulled the feeding tube right out again. What can I say - the girl's got talent! To top this, you would think this would have made her happy, but maybe she knew she had done wrong...so she cried her eyes out! It was SO CUTE!
Though her sweet cry is back, she has been very whiny most of the time and I can't seem to figure out if it is pain, discomfort, gas...the basic checklist. I hope it's not pain. Despite this, she does have moments of total quiet where her eyes just stare back and forth up high in amazement and it's never at any one particular object. Maybe it's presumptuous of me, but I feel convinced she is seeing angels. Finally, the nurse listened to her today and says that she sounds less congested, thank God. She continues to cough very coarsely though, and the fluid in her lungs is very much present...and yet here she is...still fighting. Thank you all again so much for the prayers -- please keep them up.
Ramia,

ReplyDeleteOf course she is looking at angels! They are all around her, comforting her, watching after her. Love that little girl...her example of faith and endurance make my faith stronger. That's a big job for such a lil thing :)
ReplyDeleteWe think about you guys every day and pray for you even more. God bless and keep it up Lucia!!
I am so glad to hear she is doing a little better!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I meant to say in my last comment that I have one of the bracelets from the teens at St. George, and sometimes when Sophia sees it, she says a prayer for Lucia.
Lucia is so beautiful and so strong! We are thinking of you all and praying for you always.
Glory to God! I pray for strength and peace for you and Fr. Anthony as you continue to care for your sweet little one. Of course she is seeing angels! Love to you all! -Kh. Rachel
ReplyDeleteGo Lucia, Go! Thank YOU GOD! You are in my thoughts and prayers sooooo very much. And yes she does see angels...I think ALL babies see angels. I know all 3 of our boys looked and and smiled at angels. It was soooo very sweet. ~ Much love and prayer, Michelle & Dave Anderson
ReplyDeleteGlory to God! What wonderful news! **hugs**
ReplyDelete:) Ramia your blog leaves me speechless. And you know me, that's a rare, rare occasion. My love and prayers to you, your husband and of course Lulu. You keep mentioning she's so strong...of course she is, look at her mom! Lots of love! Mariam D
ReplyDeleteI really do believe that at that age they see angels, it isn't presumptious at all. You and she have my prayers.
ReplyDeleteRamia, I have never met baby Lucia but I know that I already love her and I certainly love you and Abouna. You two are so strong and and your beautiful baby girl seems to be taking after you. I will be praying for your wonderful family and sweet little Lulu along with the rest of El Paso SOYO.
