8 months old today
Sophie turned 8 months old today. Wow - I can't believe it has already been 8 months. I was looking at pictures of a newborn baby and it's almost hard for me to remember Sophie that little. Probably since she didn't stay that little for long. She grew so fast - always at least 90% on weight and height. I just love to kiss those chubby little cheeks.
Sophie didn't have that good of a day today. She had 3 clusters of seizures. It started out as such a promising day. She didn't wake up until 7am (she had been waking up at 5:30am the last couple of days). She didn't have any seizures in the morning. We thought "was today the day - no more seizures". Unfortunately, she had a cluster at 12:30pm, 3:45pm and 7:30pm. In the late afternoon, she was fussy and didn't want to sit up. Her appetite today was voracious - she ate more today than ever before. I wonder how much chubbier those cheeks can get before they pop ;)
At least all of her seizures have still been relatively mild. We can even get her to smile while she is having them. She has always been such a happy, laid-back baby. I remember when she was in the hospital the first night. It was around 11pm and the nurses were trying to start an iv. They had to stick her 3 times before they were able to get it in - it took about 45 minutes. Well, she fell asleep between each time they stuck her. She is such a great baby!!! Oh, how she just fills my heart with so much love!!! I am so proud of her!!!

Sorry the afternoon was a bummer but today is a new day. Hearing about Sophie's progress, I know this will all be resolved....I just wish we could wave a wand and fix it all yesterday. No wand here but lots of love and prayers.
Happy 8 month birthday, Sophie!! Can't wait to kiss those chubby cheeks myself! Keep smiling, little one.
Love,
Aunt Barb
Elain and Brandon,
I have long wanted to check with you guys about Sophie's progresses, but hesitated to ask for fear that insteading of bringing comforts my inquries would be a burden on you to go over this difficult subject again. But I want you to know that you guys are never far from my mind. I just checked Sophie's photos and read all the logs from Elain. It's absolutely encouraging to see Sophie has developed so well; she is all a big girl now. Sophie, happy 8-month birthday! Get well soon and I am looking forward to meeting you in person! Elain and Brandon, Sophie is very lucky to have parents like you. If you guys need help on anything, please remember that I am here.
Take care and God Bless,
Vivian Liu
