Little Lucas Fox, the son of a Northampton County couple, is on the mend following liver transplant surgery earlier this month.
Patty Miller Brunell, a friend of Amber and Joshua Fox of Tatamy, reports their child remains on a ventilator.
But he is alert, his lungs are healing and his new liver is working well.
She asked people to continue to pray for the boy, who will be one year old in February.
Lucas developed a leak in his left lung and a blocked intestine soon after he was born.
His parents got married last March in the neonatal intensive care unit of Saint Christopher's Hospital in Philadelphia. just so they could be by his side.
At six months old, he already had been through two major surgeries when his parents were told he needed a liver transplant.
They were told the medicines that helped him recover after those surgeries also weakened his liver.
No one in his family was a match.
But on Jan. 8, Lucas got a new liver after a donor was found.
