Former The Young and the Restless star Jordi Vilasuso (ex-Rey) is asking for fans to say a prayer for his youngest daughter, Lucy. The littlest Vilasuso was born in December at 35 weeks.
Vilasuso revealed on Instagram Jan. 25 that Lucy was admitted to the hospital after she contracted RSV (respiratory syncytial virus). Vilasuso's wife, Kaitlin made a joint Instagram post, where she stated:
Ah friends.. we come to you coveting your prayers yet again. I feel like all I do is ask you all for prayers or thank you for prayers.. I suppose that is just the season we’re in right now. We found out Monday that Lucy had RSV and by Monday night she had been admitted to the hospital w/ difficulty breathing. Last night, things unexpectedly took a turn for the worse and she was moved to NICU w/ what the doctors described as a partially collapsed right lung. I am still struggling to believe this as I type. Please please pray with us for miraculous healing for Lucy’s precious little body. We love her so much and just want her home and happy and in our arms.

On Monday, Kaitlin gave fans an update on Lucy's status. She revealed the newborn's health is starting to improve but she isn't out of the woods as yet. Kaitlin posted:
Got to hold my girl.. 🙏🏻💕 Jordi and I are so thankful for you all covering us in prayer and love, yet again. I know it sounds crazy, but we literally FEEL it and our family has gained so much strength from your encouragement. 🙏🏻 Our little Lucy is proving to be quite the little fighter. The biggest praise report is that the x-ray of her lungs looked significantly better than the one they took the night she was transferred to the NICU- PRAISE GOD 😭🙏🏻 (I’ll add to stories so you can see!)
We still have a lot of big prayers to pray for her, though, and would be so so grateful if you join us in continuing to lift her up. She is still on the CPAP machine, but we are praying that as they try to wean her off of it, her pulse ox and respiratory rate stay strong and the CO2 in her blood continues to decrease. Once she is able to be weaned off of the CPAP, they’ll move her to regular oxygen w/o pressure and (providing vitals are good) will be able to remove the feeding tube. 🙏🏻 It is crazy how much I miss holding her and feeding her and being able to comfort her in that way, so we are praying big prayers that there aren’t any setbacks as her little body navigates these next steps, however long they may take.
