“Ah friends.. we come to you coveting your prayers yet again,” the photo’s caption read.
Jordi, 42, thanked everyone for all the help with prayers and answering prayer requests they usually provide.
“We found out Monday that Lucy had RSV and by Monday night she had been admitted to the hospital w/ difficulty breathing,” Jordi 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,” he added.
MORE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS
The message ended with a plea for prayers for Lucy to have a speedy recovery.
“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.”
RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is similar to the common cold, but it can be a more serious illness for babies.
According to the CDC, babies and older adults could be hospitalized if they somehow become infected with the virus.

Fans descended on the post to offer the message of support and the prayers Jordi had requested.
“God didn’t bring Lucy this far to leave her. He is faithful! Prayer is powerful! Praying for Lucy and her doctors and nurses!” one wrote.
“praying for your precious daughter. Jesus please give this beautiful baby girl back to her parents in health, happiness and love. Please give her doctors and nurses the wisdom to help Lucy,” a second fan penned.
“Sending prayers for all of you,” wrote a third.
Lucy is just a couple of weeks old, as she was born earlier this month.
The pair have been married since 2012 and this is their second child together.
FEELING RESTLESS
Meanwhile, fans have been confused about the character Lily’s whereabouts on the soap.
They’ve also been concerned about whether the star who plays her, Christel Khalil, is leaving the show.
Lily has been missing from the show’s main storylines for about a month.
Her last appearance kicked off a storyline where here boyfriend was cheating on her, but there’s been no hide or hair of her on the show since then.
Fans questioned when she might return.
“So where is Christel Khalil on maternity leave or something, because they have written Lily off screen?” one asked.
Others replied that yes, she’s on maternity leave.
“CK is on maternity leave but its still no excuse to do this to her character.”
Many viewers felt more could’ve been done story-wise with the actor away from the show.
“I know Lily (Kristal) is on maternity leave in real life, but since it’s Christmas, they could have shot scenes beforehand where Maddie came home after the fire instead of Lily spending Christmas there,” another fan lamented.
While Christel Khalil’s maternity leave explains Lily’s absence, fans feel more could’ve been done to write her off temporarily.
Her unclear status has left viewers confused and concerned.
BABY BOY
Meanwhile, Christel had been documenting her maternity leave on social media before going silent.
In November, she shared an Instagram photo proudly displaying her baby bump in a white bra and jeans, cradling her belly with a soft smile.
Her caption read: “Getting closer to meeting our baby boy…”
Other posts included a close-up of her hand on her bump, and a shot with husband Sam Restagno’s hands on her belly.
However, Christel hasn’t posted anything at all since those images last year.
Her social media absence likely indicates she has already given birth by now.
While Christel embraced sharing her pregnancy journey online initially, she seems to have stepped back to enjoy early motherhood privately.
Her lack of recent updates suggests that she’s now living it up as a mom and waiting for the perfect time to return.
