Sofi's Miracle

April 8th: My 2 little ones and their grandma are involved in a car accident. My little daughter has the worst damage.

April 10th: Neurosurgery at UC Davis Children's Hospital. She would remain a month in ICU battling for her life.

May: transferred to Kaiser Hospital in Oakland, still in ICU, on a ventilator and paralyzed completely on her right side.

May 3rd: Tracheostomy...we can once again see her beautiful smile now that her mouth is not all taped up from being intubated. A couple of days later, she moves her right leg and one finger on her right hand!

May 13: Transferred to Children's Hospital in Oakland, where she spends a day of evaluation in PICU, and then transferred to the Rehab area.

June 10th: Sofia is taken off the ventilator...she is tired the first couple of days, but handled it well.

June 17th: She is decannulated (trach is taken out). Everything goes well, she handles it!

August: Sofia is released from the hospital....shortly thereafter, she is enrolled in school.

Sometimes, life confronts us with tragedy and unthinkable grief. Sometimes, all we can do is walk with God and trust in his divine mercy. God may deliver you, or he may grant you the strength to face your adversity. Whatever the case, he will be by your side.
