We are taking Sophie to LeBonheur for some testing this afternoon. The lung specialists have ordered a bronchoscopy and a nasal ciliary biopsy in hopes that they might shed some light on our sweet girl's "atypical asthma". She is doing very well this morning. She did tell me one time that she was worried about the hospital, so we talked about it. I think the IV scares her more than anything else. They will be putting it in while she is still awake (vs. putting it in after the gas knocks her out as they have done with each set of tubes). Please pray specifically for the following:
1. peace in her heart, as well as in ours
2. that the IV placement will be as stress free as possible for a 5-year-old
3. that the testing would begin on time (She could not eat after midnight and testing is scheduled for 2 pm. She will be hungry. Hungry Sophie = Sometimes grumpy and unreasonable Sophie! See #2 above.)
4. that this testing would reveal something useful to the pulmonologists
5. no complications from the bronchoscopy.
6. that we would trust that the Lord's hands are all over this situation
Love you guys! We will keep you posted via Twitter while we are down there.

Whitney, I am so glad I realized you blog and found this! I hope you don't mind if I add it to my bog list. We are praying for sweet Sophie and for your whole family- I know as a mother this will be harder on you I think than anyone else. Keep us posted, you are on my mind.

Stephanie - thanks so much for your note. Thank you for the prayers as well. I really could feel that so many people were lifting our girl up yesterday.
I am glad you found the blog. I love yours! Always so fun to see what Bennett and Blake are up to since I have them on Sunday mornings. :-)
