Sophia : Down Syndrome

TOO SWEET FOR WORDS!
Sophia was born on February 13, 2014. After Sophia was delivered the doctors handed Sophia to her mommy and she kissed her head and thought she was the most beautiful, perfect baby. Sophia was then taken out of the room by doctors and for two hours her mom waited for her baby to be returned. The pediatrician came in and broke the news to her that Sophia had characteristics of down syndrome and she also has a congenital heart defect called AVSD, atrioventricular canal defect. This heart defect is common in babies with down syndrome. Sophia was sent to Valley Children’s where she stayed for two months. She received a feeding tube to help maintain proper nutrients until her feeding improved. In June she had open heart surgery and made an amazing recovery. In August her feeding had improved enough to removed the g-tube.
Sophia is thriving and very loved Her family adores her and couldn’t images their lives without their sweet girl! Please join Sweet Nectar Society in sending Sophia and her family some extra love!
