Where should I begin with sweet Sophie?!? She has been the biggest joy of our lives and the biggest heartache of our lives. The first week of November 08, she was diagnosed with ITP, which is a disorder where her body was attacking her platelets, and she had an extremely low platelet count. So long story short...she is almost fully recovered and we hope that the Hematologist will release her next month. It has been a long few months with one 3 day stay in the hospital and one 3 day outpatient treatment, and weekly visits to the Hematologist. But through it all she has been a trooper. She has hit all of her milestones and is still thriving everyday. She is truly happy and content all the time and unless you knew of her illness, you would never know there was anything wrong with her. I will say that having seen some very sick children at the hematologist, and their families, I am thankful that all Sophie had was ITP. I love having a little girl...dressing her....and putting bows in her 3 hairs!!
