Today is our 59th day living in the hospital and Lucy has come quite a long way from when she was born. She has almost doubled her birth weight and now weighs 3lbs. 12.3oz. She still has trouble bottle feeding, but does well nursing. She's finally out of an isolette and is now in a "big girl" bassinet.This is the story of Lucy, delivered 10 weeks premature, weighing only 2lbs. She was born with Downs Syndrome and multiple congenital heart defects, spending 75 days in the NICU. She has underwent two open heart surgeries in August 2009 and June 2010 to repair her Atrioventricular (AV) Canal Defect, Ventricular septal defect, double outlet right ventricle, mitral valve and extra superior vena cava. We hope she touches your heart as much as she has touched ours.
