Today was such an awesome day. We left at 4:30 this morning heading to King's Daughters in Norfolk, Va. Cooper did great. He rested for a few hours, then enjoyed looking out the window. We were amazed when we entered in the hospital. The people are great and the building is breathtaking. We are on the 7th floor, a "space" theme. "Reach for the Stars." Cooper has stars on the ceiling and their are space pictures everywhere. The nurses are just outside Cooper's room. they are so organized, they have boards everywhere. The nurses check on each child at least once every hour!  Even though the hospital is huge, this particular unit will only allow 8 children at a time. They have a gym, playroom. dinning room, and cafeteria. Cooper had speech therapy, occupational and physical therapy today. He did great. We are so proud of him. He ate peaches and pudding, that's the most in weeks. Cooper was also able to get a bath, in a pink tub (the blue one was taken!), which of course he loved. Check out our day!

It started at before 4 a.m.! We got up, ready, and got one last picture before leaving!

First bath in days, he loved it. He kept playing with the cup. Mommy and Daddy laughed so hard! Sorry for all the pics, but I couldn't leave any out.

Fav of the Day: His smile keeps me strong!
