Sophie gets her new Kidney!



 


Sophie, a 6 year old from Manteo, NC,  just received a kidney transplant, donated by her mother Kelly. After  a lengthy inpatient admission, Sophie and her mom stayed at the Ronald McDonald House while waiting for her transplant work-up to be complete.  Sophie  loves school and has enjoyed coming to the pediatric classroom to keep up with her school work. Her favorite activity is reading the Junie. B. Jones series with Ms. Weatherly.  So far they have read 9 books together!.  Although Sophie is shy and quiet, she tells us that her brother, Jack, is just like Junie B.! Read more about Sophie here.
