“The Young and the Restless” actor Jordi Vilasuso recently took to his social media asking his followers for prayers as his newborn daughter battles respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Vilasuso and his wife Kaitlin shared that their newborn daughter had been admitted to the NICU for a partially collapsed lung. Jordi and his wife shared a joint Instagram post with a photo of their baby daughter in the hospital, asking for prayers for her healing. “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.” They continued, “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.” They ended the post by asking for prayers. “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.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, RSV “causes infections of the lungs and respiratory tract. It’s so common that most children have been infected with the virus by age 2.” Per the CDC, “Healthy adults and infants infected with RSV do not usually need to be hospitalized. But some people with RSV infection, especially older adults and infants younger than 6 months of age, may need to be hospitalized if they are having trouble breathing or are dehydrated.”

Jordi and Kaitlin have been posting joint Instagram updated to their Instagram’s with updated on baby Lucy. The pair recently celebrated Lucy’s one month, giving a positive update on her health. They shared that their daughter has been making progress, Kaitlin saying “For the first time since we got here- it feels like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.” They ended the post by thanking everyone who has prayed and continued to pray for their baby girl. “Thank you, thank you thank you for lifting her up!!!! We humbly ask that you continue to pray for her healing and continued wisdom for her incredible team of doctors and nurses. And perhaps throw in a prayer for her tired and emo parents if you have an extra to spare. We [love] you!”
