I would like to share baby Lucien’s story with everyone.

Baby Lucien was born September 27,2018 this is where our journey begins. We went in to be induced via C-section. Once Lucien was born we took pictures and welcomed our handsome man to the world. We were so ecstatic and overjoyed it was such an amazing moment. After that he went to do his normal testing and whatnot. This is when the Drs noticed his oxygen levels weren’t that great. The cardiologist did further testing and the Drs came up with the plan. We were then informed that baby Luke’s needed to be air lifted to Birmingham Children’s hospital to undergo open heart surgery. His diagnoses was Double outlet right ventricle with transposition of the greater arteries and VSD (congestive heart failure). This was the worse news I could have ever got. I was so emotional. Words can’t describe the amount of pain we felt in this moment. However we just wanted what was best for our baby boy. The drs did even more testing then decided that it would be best to wait until Lucien was a little older to do surgery. He stayed in the NICU for 6 days. Life had been a little hectic at times with us going back and forth to the hospitals and be air lifted and transported. Our little superhero is doing great giving the circumstances. If anyone wants to pray for him we would appreciate that. Our journey to recovery isn’t quite over just yet but we are getting there.Thanks for reading our story

We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement.

If anyone wants to follow our journey I’ll update the link if allowed.
