Lucas is continuing to grow well, he is now almost a whopping ten and a half pounds. We are very proud of his eating habits, even if it means he is eating every hour and a half to two hours throughout the night. We'll take the sleep deprivation for a happy growing boy any day. With his continued growth comes the decrease in saturations. Due to the shunt being of synthetic material, it is unable to grow with him, therefore, as he grows there is proportionately less oxygen being shunted to his lungs and his sats decline. His sats have slowly now dropped into the upper 70's. We are praying for his continued growth as well as his safety leading to the next surgery.

Look at him thrive! Love the sweet pictures!
He is so cute! I am so glad he is eating well and growing!! Go Lucas!!
He looks like such a happy baby, and in familiar clothes!! Cannot wait to see you guys again - hopefully sooner rather than later.
WOW!!! He looks great! What a little doll. I can't wait to meet him. We are just amazed how healthy he looks. Tante Bep got some pictures from Grandma Tina and she loved them. We hope to see you guys at the wedding and continue to pray for all of you. Love you guys, Chrissie & Family
Hey Guys,
He's looking so filled out! Thanks for the pictures. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Kind of a catch 22--he's gaining weight, but then his sats drop. If they continue as such or go lower, will he have the next surgery sooner?
He's such a cutie. He's got great parents. Take care of yourselves!
Love,
Aunt Mary
