8 Years

Happy Birthday to my sweet eight year old girl!!!

Sophie was healthy again a few days after we arrived home from hospital but only a week later she started showing signs of illness again.  She is now dealing with fevers and another ear infection again that she is on antibiotics for.   Her chest is sounding like crap so we are keeping a good eye on her.  She just had pneumonia when we were in Florida in February, so I really hope she isn't heading that way again.  Hopefully the antibiotics keep that at bay.

Today is Sophie's eighth birthday!  We had planned to have a small family party but we put that on hold until she is feeling better.  Carbon copy of last year, we had to postpone her party with her school friends when she was just too ill to be up and about.  I am hoping that Sophie will be a bit better tomorrow but today we had a little cake and blew out the candles with her after singing happy birthday.  She was totally happy when she received a number of happy birthday phone calls so all is not lost.  We gave Sophie the movie Frozen and she watched most of it, she loved the singing and it was fun to see her watching her first big girl movie!

Sophie usually keeps smiling through good days and bad, she is such an amazing little girl with so much love and happiness in her heart.  Every day she makes this world a little brighter.
