Baby Sophia

From January 3rd we have known that Stephanie had a somewhat rare antibody that was attacking Sophia's red blood cells. It is called an anti-c antigen. You can read more about that here (warning it's very heady stuff!). This basically meant that we would have to watch Sophia for signs of anemia. We had to go to Indy nearly every week so that they could check the velocity of the blood flow throw her middle cerebral artery by doing ultrasounds. The picture to the right is a picture of an ultrasound screen during such an exam. We are so greatful we live today when there is stuff to help us out!
