First Week Home!


Our first week has been going great! Other than a few gas issues Sofia seems to be doing really well! I have gone back to nursing her and only supplementing formula a couple of times a day for the extra calories she needs. I have also bought a can of Gentlease formula to se if that would help too. It seems to be helping her out. Can't remember if I posted this already or not, but Sofie is no longer on Sodium Chloride. Now it is just Reglan and Multivitamins with Iron. She takes both of those without any problem.
I have posted some pics of Sofia with a couple of visitors. The first is of her and her cousin Gisela who is a month older than her. Gisela is Ivan's brother's daughter.
The other is of her looking and smiling at her new friend Maya. Maya's Daddy works with Ivan and we met in Georgia when we lived there. They are now in Arizona and will hopefully be moving here sometime next year! We are so excited!

The other picture is of Sofie with one of her Doctors, Dr. Holler, on her discharge day. The first picture is of her this evening, can you tell Mommy has been feeding her well?!!! There are more pictures in a new album called Going Home, just click on the link to Sofia's Pictures on the right side.
I now want to send Birthday wishes to someone very special, Baby Jax. Jax is his Mommy's third CDH baby and her only CDH survivor. Today is Jax's 1st Birthday. I am so happy for them!

Happy 1st Birthday, Jax!

Thank you all for keeping all CDH babies in your prayers. God Bless
Love, Catherine

Catherine,

We are so happy to see that you and your little miracle are doing so well! And thank you so much for keeping us updated on her condition. Tony laughs at me, he says I'm addicted to checking Sofie's blog, but I have just fallen in love with your little girl and the other CDH babies and angels, may God bless and keep all of you.

Love,

The O'Brien's
