According to Skiles, she and her husband Jonathan have met hundreds of nurses during Sophie’s rehabilitation.
The toddler went through 15 rounds of chemotherapy, which helped to limit the spread of the cancer. He is currently awaiting a stem cell transplant.

Sophie, on the other hand, was unable to move, communicate, or feed on her own due to the rigorous chemotherapy.
Skiles recounted the night she first began writing this month: “It was like 3 a.m. and I was lying on that horrible couch in the hospital room and I couldn’t go to sleep.”
I simply began documenting the nurses’ job, and it just kept going.
The list included more than just routine examinations.
Skiles emphasized all I’ve seen them do for us and others, such as the nurse who sat on the floor with me when we got the news and I had a panic attack.
Skiles thanked the nurses on the “Sophie the Brave” Facebook page that she and her family created for Sophie.

She said, “I witnessed you bringing armloads of medicine and supplies into one child’s room as your phone rings in your pocket from another child’s room.” “I see you put on gloves and a mask and try not to be too loud at night.” I see you stroking her tiny bald head and wrapping her in blankets.”
The article has now been shared by over 25,000 people.
Skiles reasoned that because Sophie’s page has a large number of followers, “I’ll post this and raise awareness of what happens at a children’s hospital and what nurses do, especially when caring for ill children.”
“But the amount of attention it’s received has completely stunned me,” she said.

Sophie’s nurses at Children’s Medical Center Dallas were also alerted to the message.
Susan McCollom, clinical manager of the Pauline Allen Gill Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, who participated in Sophie’s care, said, “I really am so grateful that she did it.”
“Our work is extremely challenging on an emotional, physical, and cerebral level, and it kind of nailed why we do it and that what we do is not just a job,” said a staff member.
I’m really proud of my team, but I’m not surprised, she said, since I know what they do every day.
Sophie will most likely remain at the Dallas hospital until the end of January before being transferred to a nearby residence, according to Skiles.
Sophie will need to continue therapy after the stem cell transplant, as well as be near to the hospital for checks.
Skiles said of the nurses she’s met thus far, “It’s amazing to watch people put their lives on hold and absolutely care for kids who truly, truly need it.” They also look after the parents.
