Jordi explained that little Lucy contracted RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) and had to be admitted to the hospital due to difficulty breathing. But things took a turn for the worse when Lucy's condition didn't improve.

They had to move the newborn to the NICU, with what the doctors described as a partially collapsed right lung. The Young and the Restless star and his wife are now asking for prayers for Lucy's healing.

Check out Jordi and Kaitlin's message below:

"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."

Jordi and Kaitlin's Miracle

The couple welcomed Lucy Noelle into the world two weeks ago. Kaitlin gave birth at 35 weeks, calling her pregnancy journey a miracle.
