This weblog was originally created to provide health update information for Sophie Partin (born 5/21/2002), who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) in late January 2005 and completed treatment in June 2007. If this is your first visit to this site, you may want to begin in the Archives section and read the updates in reverse order.
On October 2, 2006, we changed the name of this weblog from "Sophie's Health Updates" (fairly boring!) to "Sophie's World." We did this partly because, fortunately, things have become so stable, we tend to report on our daily life more than Sophie's health. But we also love that title because it reflects part of the reason Sophie has her name in the first place. Both of our girls are named after characters in books by Jostein Gaarder. Elisabeth's name (especially the spelling) was inspired by a character named Elisabet Hansen in The Christmas Mystery, and Sophie was named after a character named Sophie Amundsen in Sophie's World. These are both fascinating books (as are all of Jostein Gaarder's books).
We love to read comments from visitors. You can leave a comment on the most recent entries by clicking on the link for "Comments" at the end of the entry. We usually close comments on older entries because otherwise we tend to get inappropriate junk or spam comments.
Thank you for your interest, and we appreciate continued thoughts and prayers from friends and family. We would also encourage you to donate blood and to give financially to organizations such as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and CureSearch (see links below).
