A lot has happened over the last couple of months since the last posting here. We praise God that most of the time has been filled with more smiles than tears.  Sofia is incredibly resilient and has kept her sense of humor throughout this process. We love that she continues to be her silly and sassy self!! As strong as Sofia has been, there is only so much a body can take. Yesterday, she developed a fever and had to be hospitalized. Her blood and platelet counts have plummeted and though she has had transfusions the past two weeks, the effects of this latest intense chemo phase have made it difficult for her to bring them back to a normal level. Sofia received a blood transfusion yesterday and is scheduled to receive platelets today. She has been tested for all kinds of viruses and infections that may have developed and has already started with antibiotics. We’re not sure how long she will be in the hospital, but her body definitely needs some focused time of rest and recovery. As for Gio, he has been an AMAZING brother and support for her.   He is so sensitive to her and truly cares deeply for her situation. He drew that picture above on his own yesterday to cheer her on and show how much he loves her!!! 😭😭😭
