Sophie Pearson

Decreased fetal movement prompted mom and dad to raise concerns to their doctor about their usually feisty baby girl. Sophie Marilyn was delivered via emergency caesarean section 9 weeks premature, she required immediate transfer to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to have surgery to address her birth defect, Tracheoesophageal Fistula – Esophageal Atresia (TEF-EA), within 24 hours of birth. Sophie spent 8 weeks in the NICU being cared for by some of the best medical staff anyone can ask for their newborn. Sophie is now 20 months old and has had 5 more stays in the hospital since graduating from the NICU. While she continues to battle the uncertain challenges of chronic respiratory illnesses and feeding issues, she continues to be an inspiration through her strength, overall happiness, and bright smile with which you can't help but fall in love. -The Pearson's
