Sophie Update



(CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE FOR IT TO ENLARGE)

Thank you so much for your continued prayers. We love you all for your love and support. Here is the update from this morning:

She is off of the big oxygen and Ash and I were finally able to see her cute little face. She doesn't look anything like Lily so far :) We are so happy to see that her respiratory health is improving. She has started taking some of Ashleys milk that she has been pumping through a tube which we are very excited about.

On the flip side, there are still a lot of unknowns. They found group b strep in her placenta and are worried that that is what has caused all of this. Her red blood cell counts are decreasing and may need a blood transfusion. They may need to up the antibiotics...

We are trying our best to focus on the positive and look for the little miracles because we know there are many. We continue to focus on our family scripture found in D&C 123:17 "Therefore, dearly beloved...let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power, and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for His arm to be revealed"

We have been fasting and praying and know that many of you have as well. Thank you so much. We are so grateful for you! We will keep you posted and hopefully continue to get some good photos of our precious baby girl.

All our love,

Jon, Ashley, Lily and Sophie

I'm so glad to hear that Sophie is a fighter!! It is so hard to have your children be in the NICU and not have them to take home immediately. We are thinking of you. We love you.
Good Luck!!

Love, Kari and family
