We just met with the surgeon and Lucia's surgery was a success! The malrotated intestines were corrected, her stomach was "wrapped" to prevent reflux, and a G-tube was put into her stomach for feeding. She will be on the G tube until she learns to swallow correctly. Hopefully, soon! As a bonus surprise, she had an enlarged appendix which was removed during the surgery. We are still waiting for the results of her MRI.
With all of that said, Juliet and I feel like we have just won the lottery. I can't tell you all how much strength we've received from you prayers, calls, texts, and visits. Lucia will be in the hospital for the next few days for observation. We are hoping to be home by the weekend and the journey will continue. I can't wait to get the little nugget outside.
God is good!
Love you all,
Jason, Juliet, and Little Lu

We will keep the love flowing! I love that you call her your little nugget!! She is a lucky girl to have such an awesome Mom & Pop!
What a very special little girl you have... I can't wait to meet her! How lucky is she to have two amazingly strong, centered parents who will provide her with all the tools she will need to face her unique challenges. Don't forget to find something to celebrate together as a family each day, even if it's the smallest of things, because even the smallest of things add up to be big things too.
