Happy Thanksgiving!
I wish I had some good news to report. However, today has been very upsetting. Cooper didn't sleep at all last night. He was up every hour or so. He did feel well enough for a few minutes this morning during breakfast. He ate very little, but enjoyed his milk. Then the fussiness and screaming started again. We tried to calm him and it was as though nothing worked. Randy was walking him around the unit when he threw up everywhere. He rested for a while after that. He managed to get most of his grilled cheese down and then we headed for the bath. He loved it at first then became very upset again. We put him down for another nap and he rested for several hours. When he woke up, the only way to calm him was to keep him on one of our chest. That's where he is now. The doctor said these are all signs that he is having a lot of pressure. We already knew this because these were the same symptoms that led us to where we are today.
The Jewell's hope each and every one of you had a very Happy Thanksgiving. Even though Cooper was sick we enjoyed the day and are very thankful we were able to be together. We all three cuddled up in the bed, watched the Macy's Parade and The Goonies (the only movie the unit had that wasn't a cartoon!).
I'm sorry that I don't have any pictures to post from today. He was just too sick to take any. So, I posted some from last Thanksgiving. Hope you enjoy!
Okay, so I forgot about the two pictures from last night and the one from breakfast this morning. Also, after I posted this Cooper woke up in a good mood and we were able to get a family picture before Daddy left for work again.
Cooper thought it was so much fun raising the bed as high as it would go and then letting it down!
This is how Cooper listened to his bedtime stories, so sweet!
We got very pretty Thanksgiving Day paper placemats with each meal today!

Sorry your all's day wasn't so good. I know that you all still have many things to be thankful for though. Sure hope Cooper gets to feeling better and that you all can rest tonight. Happy Thanksgiving with Love, Hugs & Prayers.
ReplyDeletePrayers continue from Massachusetts and I'll now add Cooper's "girlfriend" to the list. God bless all of you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the stroll down memory lane with last year's pictures! I'm sorry your day hasn't been very good. I suppose some bad days come with the territory. Cooper remains a trooper through it all. I am praying for him and for Madison and looking forward to better days. Happy Thanksgiving!

ReplyDeleteAs I read your blog this morning and then the bible, I came across these words, "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 14-7. You guys are a great example of this. We pray all ways for each of you.
