Darling Sophia

Hi. For those of you that are new to this site, my name is Sophia Karin Doebbert. I was diagnosed with SMA type 1 when I was six months old. It was a very difficult time for our friends and family. Through prayers, love, and encouragement we have been getting stronger. Please take a few moments to view my pictures and sign the guest book. If you would like a detailed history of events, please read the journal as well as the journal history.

Sophia graduated from kindergarten today! We are so proud of her. She had a great finish to the year. We will miss her class – such a great group of kids – but some of them will continue on to first grade together. We said good-bye to Owen, the kindergarten class bunny-in-residence, and her teacher and para. Sophia has had a wonderful kindergarten experience, despite some hospital stays and absences from sickness. The school set up a webcam system that she used from January to April, and it definitely help get us through the year without numerous colds.

AND we are waiting, waiting, waiting for the arrival of Sophia & Lila’s sister! She is officially due this weekend, and we have a scheduled induction for next Tuesday. The girls are very excited and have been picking out names (“Sweetie Pie Shrek” and “Sarafina” are the latest) & selecting baby gifts. I am looking forward to baby’s arrival more than ever. This has been a long, difficult 40 weeks with many challenges. The girls have been so patient with their mommy not being able to do much.

Sophia and Lila have some fun plans for the summer: going to the pool, having playdates and just hanging out with their new baby sister. We will send an update after the little one arrives.

God bless,
Andrea
