Jordi Vilasuso‘s newborn baby girl has been hospitalized.

I suppose that is just the season we’re in right now,” Kaitlyn, 37, started on Instagram. “We found out Monday that Lucy had RSV and by Monday night she had been admitted to the hospital w/ difficulty breathing,” Kaitlin continued. “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.” According to the Mayo Clinic, RSV causes infections of the lungs and respiratory tract. While the virus’ symptoms are usually mild and typically mimic the common cold in healthy children, RSV can cause “severe infection in some people, including babies 12 months and younger (infants), especially premature infants, older adults, people with heart and lung disease, or anyone with a weak immune system (immunocompromised).” Kaitlin concluded, “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.” Along with her message, Kaitlin shared a few photos of Lucy lying in an incubator while hooked up to various machines. Jordi and Kaitlin have been married since 2012 and are also parents to daughters Everly, 7, and Riley, 10. Our thoughts are with Jordi‘s family at this time.
