My name is Sophia, and I'm (no longer) an addict.

Sophia is off the morphine!! The docs discontinued it this morning after weaning by 2-hundreths of a miligram every day. She had minimal withdrawal symptoms towards the end, so she's no longer on narcotics!

Poor Haleigh is exhausted yet determined to run off of adrenaline. We learned yesterday that she has an infection, Mastitus, so she's taking anti-biotics for that.

We're a lot closer to bringing Sophia home. We have to have her take every feeding by bottle, whereas currently she takes every other feeding by her feeding tube. Also weight gain is an issue, as she has been going down by an ounce or two over the past few days (which basically means she is burning more calories by being forced to take a bottle than the amount contained in the bottle itself).

Please keep Haleigh and Sophia in your prayers, as well as Bradie Cook (and family) and Trey Sutton. God bless.

  2. Haleigh, I know mastitis is so painful and makes you feel really bad. I'm praying that God will bless you in a special way today. Exciting news about Sophia. I'll pray that she gains some weight. I know you guys are anxious to take her home and I can't wait for that to happen for you. Would love to see the look on Sophia's face when she sees an elephant in her room. :)
