Sophia should have surgery tomorrow (Friday)


Sophia is once again scheduled to have her tune up (repair surgery) tomorrow. Although there is a chance once again that her surgery could be post-poned. She is scheduled as an Add on surgery, which means that she could have her surgery anytime the O.R. is open. If another child comes into the Hospital with a life threatening condition, needing surgery, they would operate on them and Sophia's surgery would be delayed.
We would once again like to report that Sophia is doing really well and is very stable, the delay in her surgery date on Wednesday was due to her being an Add on and also that the Head Doctor wanted to have a look inside her lungs to make sure they were in good shape. Sophia had a little camera placed down her breathing tube and the doctor was ecstatic to report that despite one lung being small (as we already knew) her lungs are in wonderful shape and he saw no abnormalities. YEAH GO SOPHIE!
Other exciting news is that her mustles are really staying loose due to her moving alot. Noel one of her physical therapists is really pleased and amazed about how much she moves and how well her mustles are doing. She is our little fighter...we think she wants to come home as much as we do.
On a daily weekly basis we can see a ton of different nurses who get to take care of our Sophia. Just so you have an idea of what we mean here are the names of a few, Emily, Allison, Erin, Ann, Melissa, Jessica, Noel, Diedra. That dosent include all of the APN's, RT's and the whole CDH Team. The CDH Team alone can have over 13 people that includes doctors and nurses and several others.
Although her surgery was delayed on Wednesday we really think the repair should happen tomorrow so please once again keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

  1. We are saying a prayer for Sophia and both of you as well. Many people I know are praying and ask about her everyday. Can't wait to see Sophia in little lacy and frilly dresses.
