The Latest


We are so proud of our sweet baby girl!  Landry continues to steal the hearts of those around her. She has already been labeled "feisty" by the NICU staff (which we love). Thank you so much for all of the texts, calls, emails and prayers over the last few days.  Her birthday was wonderful and spirit filled.  We lack conclusive information, but our little June Bug has already been through many diagnostic evaluations.  We will receive more feedback in the near future and will promptly inform all of you.  

Couple of things we do know and can pray about :
- Landry does have some obstruction in her lungs, derived from the oversized pulmonary arteries. This can make it difficult for her to breath on her own.  The doctors were forced to intubate her shortly after she was born.  Although on a breathing tube, she has consistently been working hard to get into a breathing pattern of her own.  This is encouraging to us all.  Our prayer is that her lungs will fully function despite her enlarged arteries.  Tomorrow her doctors will look into a plan of action to see what is best for Landry and determine the available options.

-The general pediatric surgeon may do an assessment tomorrow to determine whether or not Landry has intestinal obstruction.  We have no clear evidence of this being an issue, although several factors have indicated the need to do further testing.  We pray that the doctors come to a clear conclusion and find no such issue.
