Sophia Can Wear Blue
We had Sophia's surgery follow-up today. It was really no big deal. We had to get a chest x-ray and see one of the Cardiovascular Surgery nurses. She listened to Sophia's heart and lungs via stethoscope. We reviewed medications.
We had the nurse do a spot check of Sophia's sats, which came out as 86. She looks so much better than 86.
Her lungs were really clear and everyone said she looked really great.
Her incision is healing very nicely. I am so thankful for the care the surgeons put into the chest closing. It is plastic surgery quality. I have posted a picture here if you are interested. I feel like I have assaulted you with the rawness of this whole process enough. So instead of posting the incision line, I chose a cute picture in BLUE. This may not mean much to some of you. But if we put Sophia in blue before her last couple of procedures she looked really bad. She could never look pink like she does in this picture. Plus, this shot in indicative of the mood Sophia has been in since we left the hospital. She almost hasn't stopped smiling since we left the hospital.

Not only is her overall color better, but she used to have dark areas under her eyes that are just gone now! Amazing what a little extra oxygen will do for a girl eh?
That incision does look great, so clean , nice straight edges, no jaggedness or anything. Awesome.

Michael is correct in saying that the smile on Sophia's face is permanent. And she laughs out loud too.
The incision is so skinny, like a fine pen line, it is gorgeous.
What a precious doll she is

I remember a picture of Sophia you posted on this blog. She was in the tub, I think and maybe it was blue? Not quite sure, but I am sure that she looked adorable, but quite bluish, in it. Not so now! She looks so pink, it's delightful!!! I am so thrilled to see her looking so well and smiling.
I checked out that incision too, it looks so great! I was wondering, in fact, how incisions look when there are multiple surgeries. Hers looks better than Joseph's:). She deserves it!
