Let's share the good stuff first.

Cooper decided to start this very hilarious laugh this afternoon. I can't even explain it. He did it once then we started doing it and he copied. Mommy and Daddy were both in tears listening to him.

When it was bath time, Daddy decided to make him "walk" to Mommy towards the tub. Randy held his hands like he used to when he was several months old, and HE DID IT without crying!!!

Okay, here is the medical information. We've been waiting on the CT results for two days now. We sat down with the doctor this afternoon to discuss them. Basically, his results showed two things that actually contradict one another. Only my kid! The scan shows increase in the size of his ventricles which means there is more pressure. It also shows that is brain is relaxed, still "bumpy," which means there isn't an increase of pressure. So, the neurosurgeon here (CHKD) wants us to go back to Roanoke to let Cooper's neurosurgeon see what he thinks. The word "shunt" has come up several times during our discussions which really worries both of us. We've done a lot of research and are uneasy at this point. But we've prayed about it and it's in the hands of God, so we know Cooper will be taken care of.

Therefore, we will be leaving in the morning heading back to Roanoke. We will be staying there, but for how long is unsure of at this point. We are hoping that he will do well and will be able to come back to CHKD for his Rehab.

Please keep Cooper in your prayers because once again he is facing some new challenges

Cooper loves Miss Janet because she lets him do all the fun stuff and not "physical" work!

Cooper and Ella. He loved her. This was the first big dog to visit, which he prefers.
