Today was an okay day for miss Sophia she had her blood drawn first thing this morning and they got it on the first try! Unfortunately the blood work showed that Sophia's white blood count is slightly elevated and this paired with the fever last night means no surgery tomorrow. Sophia's IV also blew so she had to get a new one put in but to my amazement she didn't cry. She is such a little trooper. Sadly she is getting used to being poked :( So since there are signs of infection Sophia's surgery has been postponed for one week. She was also placed on an antibiotic to help with whatever is going on inside her. All the rest of her labs have come back normal and her fever never came back so please pray that this infection goes away over the weekend completely so that she can get this surgery over with. We are also being transfered to a childrens hospital about 2 hours away because of the infection Sophia's surgeon feels more comfortable having a doctor with 35 years of experience perform her procedure. The surgeon that will operate on her is ranked number THREE IN THE WORLD for pediatric cardiothorasic surgery! If that isn't reassuring I don't know what is. So for now we are just waiting for the team to come by ambulance to get this sweet baby girl. I won't be able to ride with her but I will be following close behind. On a brighter note Sophia laughed for the first time tonight! She is such a little doll and I couldn't ask for a better baby. God is watching over us and I can feel all of your prayers working.
