Hospital Update

Sophie is feeling so much better this morning! Praise the Lord!!!! She perked up at 2:30am this morning and wanted out of the room so we went for a stroll and ate some ice cream..yum!!!! She is up and walking around the room and they are going to disconnect the fluids this morning and she will only have to be hooked up when she receives her antibiotics. This will give her much more freedom to move around. It is so wonderful to see her back smiling and talking. She never sat up yesterday. She was so pitiful. Dr. Freeman came in this morning and said that x-ray and ultrasound looked fine and she hopes to send us home some time tomorrow. She is going to be in contact with Dr. Joseph and see if it is possible to move her surgery up. She will be on antibiotics everyday until she actually has the surgery. This bladder infection is mostly the result of the VCUG that we had in Birmingham. They catherized her and ran a dye up through her bladder and kidneys for that test and because of the seriousness and abnormalities of her condition, it has resulted in another severe infection. We are thankful that the antibiotics are working and that we are moving in the right direction to get healed!!!

Seeing how much better she feels this morning with such a bladder infection encourages us all that she will be the happiest girl when she is completely better!!! Once again, thank you all so very much for your prayers. We are blessed to have all of you in our lives!!!!!

Great news! I have been checking your blog early this morning and now am happy to see Princess Sophie feeling better. What a little trooper she continues to be and yes, what an incredibly happy girl she will become when all is well! Our prayers will remain with each of you and we hope things can work out for an earlier surgery... in God's timing.

I am still in awe how PERFECTLY the Lord has timed all of this! He is so faithful. Not that this is what we want for princess, but the bonding, the healing, which is coming in more ways than one is a true picture of Christ's working. Hug Princess for me. :0)
