Sophie Goes to Philly

Susan took Sophie up to Philadelphia for an assessment at Shriner's Hospital.

Sophie will undergo intensive physical therapy to prepare her for subsequent

treatments which may help her walk on crutches in the future.

It will be hard work, but she is determined.

When the work is done, there is fun to be had at the

Ronald McDonald House.

On day one, Sophie had some delicious cake at a birthday party!

On day two, Princess Sophie hung out at her castle,

showing off her improved ability to balance on her right leg.

Today when they returned to the house, Susan found her headboard

was no longer accompanied by her bed. Hmmm. Curious.

Apparently a pipe burst in the attic and flooded the house.

It's always something.

Susan and Princess Sophie have now been relocated to drier climes.

Sophie aspires to be a mermaid but prefers sleeping out of the water.

Meanwhile back home, Lucy is blowing bubbles

and Keith is walking the dogs.
