Sorry it's been so long, but it's been quite a ride!
Sophia is home, and she is doing well. 3/26 She did have a blood transfusion, but everything went really well. I think the only thing awry was Mom and Dad's nerves. It's really weird to see your newborn hooked up with IV's, etc., especially when they're on the head.
Her blood levels eventually stabilized, and so far we haven't had any more transfusions. The rollercoaster continued when the Newborn Screening indicated a possible problem with something called Organic Acid Disorders.
The good news just came in yesterday that the test was a false positive, and as far as we can tell, Sophia is now a healthy and normal little girl!!! We are so greatful that God has gotten us through all of this. We know that millions of couples go through much more difficult circumstances with their children, but as we have learned when it is your child, everything is major. And, so we pray for those families who don't have clean bills of health for their children. Our hearts go out to you.

Hey Mark....great to read that little Sophia is doing sooooo well....blessing, blessing, blessing.....hugs to you and yours, Pat & Bill Heinbaugh
Awww, congratulations to you and your family! Sophia is beautiful. I am so happy to hear that she is doing well. I have heard Pastor Paul mention a few times during service that prayers were needed for you and your family, however I never knew what was the matter until reading your blog. We will continue to pray for you all, god sure is great.
I also had to add I read you mentioned Dr. Cly as Stephanie's OBGYN, what a small world, he is my OB and delivered Caleb. He is a great DR.
God bless
Jeni Hershman and family
