Below is the most recent update regarding Lucy. Praise be to God! Continue to interceed for strength and growth of this young child and family.

22-Aug-05 10:29 PM - Bo : Dear friends and family, We are glad to tell you that Lucy is ready to come home! The doctors have decided to discharge her to home tomorrow. She has been weaned off oxygen. Her heart rate and O2 saturation has been stable. She is still eating very well, although is having a little trouble breastfeeding. Please prayer for Steph, for understanding and patience.

We will go back to Cleveland for followup in about a month. Then we will find a cardiologist locally to do further followups. Lucy's heart has been improving steadily. It seems to have recovered from the left ventricular ischemia last week. We really hope this has no lasting effect and will not repeat itself in the future. On one hand, we are overjoyed to welcome Lucy home, on the other, we are very anxious about the future. There are still so many things could potentially go wrong. We cannot possibly cover all the bases. So we must surrender our will to our Heavenly Father, resting in peace knowing that not even a hair on Lucy's head can fall to the ground without His foreknowledge.

Please keep us in your prayer, for peace, understanding and hope. Hope not in ourselves or even modern medicine, but hope in His goodness, power and love. We love you. We thank you for all your support. We could not have gone through this without you. May His grace cover us all.
