OCTOBER 8: Lucija is having surgery!
10/07/2024
Dear friends,
with a heart full of fear and courage in the face of this important step, of amazement and gratitude to all those who are supporting us, of hope and trust in the Father, who with his providence and tenderness accompanies us, we have arrived at the time of the surgery for Lucija, which will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, October 8 at 11 a.m. The surgery is expected to last about five hours, after which we will remain in the hospital for three days.
It has been a long time of waiting for Lucija, full of questions and doubts, a lot of fear, anxiety and little sleep, and at the same time a lot of desire to start this journey that we know, from the stories of family friends who are going through the same journey with their children, will be very challenging both physically and emotionally, but that gives her hope that she will be able to walk and run like other kids her age.
Lucija talks every day about the surgery with us, with her sisters, but also at school and with her friends, because she says there is nothing to hide and she does not want to be alone. We hope that she can feel accompanied by many, just as we have until now. In the image on the side we have transcribed a thought of hers that she wanted to share with you.
We still ask for your prayers for Lucija, that the surgery will be successful and that this year will be a year of grace for her life, in her encounter with Jesus, and that our family will be allowed to know how to be there for her especially in times of suffering and darkness. We will update you as soon as possible about both the surgery and the course of the healing journey.
We entrust our little big brave Lucija to the protection of our heavenly Mother and to Don Oreste and Sandra, our brothers in the light.
Again a heartfelt thank you,
Ivana and Roberto with Lucija
