Supporting Carolina, Andrew and Baby Lucas

W
Story

Our family is reaching out to ask for support for my sister, Andrew, and their sweet baby boy during an incredibly difficult season. Their little one has now been in the hospital for almost a month. He has been facing ongoing feeding challenges and severe reflux, and a recent swallow study revealed that part of his esophagus is very narrow, which is likely causing much of his discomfort. The medical team is continuing to run tests and may need to perform a procedure to better evaluate and treat the narrowing. They are also preparing to bring him home on supplemental oxygen when he is healthy enough to be discharged. At this time, there is still no planned discharge date. Throughout this journey, my sister and Andrew have remained by their son's side day and night, rarely leaving the hospital. As you can imagine, the emotional, physical, and financial strain has been overwhelming. Purchasing meals at the hospital every day has added up quickly, and one of the most meaningful ways we can care for them right now is by helping take that burden off their shoulders. If you feel led, we would be so grateful if you would consider signing up to provide a meal, send a restaurant gift card, or contribute toward food while they continue to focus on their baby. Every act of kindness, no matter how big or small, will remind them they are surrounded by love and support. Most of all, we ask for your continued prayers—for healing, for wisdom for his medical team, for strength for my sister and Andrew, and that they will be able to bring their sweet boy home soon. Thank you for loving and supporting our family during this time. It means more than words can express.
