Sophie's condition improves :
"'She remains on a ventilator in the Children's Intensive Care Unit at Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick.'
In December 2003, Sophie lost both feet, some fingers and suffered third degree burns to 85 per cent of her body when she was trapped under a car that crashed into the Roundhouse Childcare Centre at Fairlight."
Little Sophie has captured all our hearts and we cannot think about her and her family enough. At 2 she was so hurt and damaged by an elderly driver ploughing into her day care centre. She and her family were coming to terms with that and battling through boldly when another elderly driver struck the little girl and we all feared for her and her family. How cruel can life be? Her father stood bravely before us and falteringly, but quietly and firmly uttered the inalienable truth. How can a little girl be asked to go through all of this again? She is stable now and we were keeping her hearts open for her as we kept our ears open for the miners. It is another family which needs a lot of support, a lot of quiet help and some space to deal with everything they are being asked to deal with in this life. We really do not have to create trouble. Life brings it to us aplenty. Sophie is inspiring because she is so little and she is having to fight for everything in life. It's very humbling and her parents are teaching us well.
