And now we begin...

We have decided to create this page for updates on the Simmons family. We will post pictures and write about current adventures. Please visit often.

Sophie is five weeks old today. Unfortunatly she cannot do much partying b/c she is battling her first cold. On Monday we went to Upstate Hospital to get and idea of what is going on with her kindeys and bladder. We met with the doctor after a series of tests. He informed us that Sophie's muscle that carries urine from her kidney to her bladder narrows which means that some of the urine is backing up into the kidney. So unfortunatly she will need surgery, not until she is one or two years old though.

The good news this week is that she is starting to hold her head up longer. She is looking around at everything. Last week we went to Wegmans and she loved it. She was looking around at everything and couldn't get enough of the lights and noises. That's my girl...she loves to shop already.

Last week Wyatt came for spring break, it was a short visit which stunk but it was great to see him. He met his little sister for the first time. He was witness to Sophie's good lungs. We had a little birthday party for him while he was here. He turns fourteen today. We look forward to his visit over the summer!
