Lucia’s Story

Site created on March 30, 2019

Hi family and friends!  We decided to create a Caring Bridge page for Lucia so that we can keep all of her updates in one place.  We have been so humbled and blessed by the outpouring of love from our community.  Meals, hugs, sitting with our kids, an amazing outpouring of prayer... we have been comforted and our needs met.  Thank you.

Journal entry by Brittany Breuninger

Lucia had her first cardiology check up today, here are the highlights.

  • She has gained extraordinary weight and has grown at least an inch in length!  She officially hit the 8lb milestone, which is really pretty amazing.
  • Increase of her medication to assure continued stability.
  • Looking at surgery in June (3 mo old) since weight gain is so good.

We have been finally settling in at home and life is feeling a bit more "normal" again.  Since our hospital discharge we have had another scary visit to the ER (which turned out to be ok and we were released to go home the same evening), a nasty cold circulate it's way through the family and mom's first case of mastitis.  The meals people continued to bring really pulled us through!  We are all on the mend now and feel peace as we continue to monitor Lucia's continued growth and plan for surgery.

Thank you Lord, for Lucia's current health and for her miraculous appetite and growth!

I fail to find the words to describe the outpouring of grace through prayer and acts of love that have come to us through our community.  We have been brought relics of Saint Therese of Liseux, Saint Gemma Galgani, Saint Maximillian Kolbe and Saint Issac Jogues.  We have been gifted Lourdes water and a miraculous medal with a special blessing from Medjugorje.  A very special Sister friend came over to pray healing prayers over Lucia with us.  Numerous Masses offered, both near and far.  Thank you again friends, for loving us so well.  You all are surely the hands and feet of Christ, carrying us through this trying time.
