THE NEVER ENDING SUMMER

At 11:36 PM July 31, 2008 Lauren and Matt welcomed Lucia Life Larsen (6 lb 2 oz, 18 inches long @ 35 weeks) out of the womb. We rejoiced with them, came home, and crashed.

This morning we had news that baby Larsen is struggling, BIG time. She has been diagnosed with RDS, an infection, and Pulmonary Hypertension, She is in the NICU attempting to fight through this and everyone is praying that she can be guided by the antibiotics. 

Lauren says the first 24 hours are the most important, most critical, just as the link to Pulmonary Hypertension says. We are so burdened for our friends and the strain that the baby is enduring. Your prayers are needed.
