Lucy was born on November 20, 2012. She is the beautiful daughter of Katie Brown, one of the Internal Medicine Nurses at Hope Veterinary Specialists.  She was born with fluid around her lungs, and by the end of January, Lucy needed to be placed on a ventilator to help her breathe.  Since that time, Lucy has been hospitalized at CHOP with a diagnosis of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. This is a condition in which her heart is unable to pump adequately, leading to heart failure.  She has had a multitude of tests performed and still shows the strength of a true fighter.  Lucy has been able to get off of the ventilator; however, she did not respond to her oral medications as well as they had hoped.  She is currently being maintained on IV heart medications and she is receiving nutrition through a feeding tube.  She was placed on the heart transplant list and was accepted as top priority.  Lucy is surrounded by the love of her parents, Katie and Jared, and their extended family day and night, rendering it difficult for them to work at this time.  Please find it in your hearts to help this amazing family by making a donation to the Lucy Brown Benefit Fund.  These donations are not tax deductable.  Any donation would be greatly appreciated in helping little Lucy and her family overcome this difficult battle.              
Thank you for all your support!
