I can't believe today was day 60 for us in the hospital. Cooper has made so much progress in the last two months. We are so proud of our strong Trooper Cooper.
Cooper had a rough day today. He slept all night, but I feel a lot of that was due to the help of some medicine. We are torn because we don't want to give him anything if he doesn't need it, but at the same time it seems to be the only way he can rest through the night. However, he seemed pretty tired tonight, so we are trying it without any meds. Hopefully, he will rest well.
He didn't work the best for the therapist today. He seemed very agitated and as though he wasn't feeling well. Cooper did eat an entire pudding cup for lunch! And, he had two orange flavored tootsie rolls for dinner! That was the only thing he would eat. So much for all of my "homemade" baby food and "no sugar added" diet!
Cooper seemed to be his happiest this afternoon. We spent a lot time walking on the 1st, 5th, and 7th floors tonight. Then we played in the floor until bath time. He decided to finally escape his room. Before he would crawl to the door, stop, and turn around. Tonight he decided to venture into the nurse's pod. He was so funny and in a great mood. We are hoping his therapies go better tomorrow. It is his Chemo day, so we are asking for an extra prayer that all goes well and he doesn't get as sick from this treatment.
We received more packages and cards in the mail today. We also got some drawings from two sweet little boys. It amazes me how thoughtful and kind everyone has been to Cooper.
Cooper with more packages!

Cooper loves to play with balloons.
Mommy's Fav of the Day: He thinks it's funny because he "escaped!"
Walking to Daddy
I sure wish he would get to feeling better and eating better. He was always such a good eater. So today he made the "great escape", that's funny, even Cooper thinks so. I pray that chemo tomorrow will not be bad, and sure hope he doesn't get sick from it. Missing you all so much. Give Cooper my love and plenty of hugs. Love, Hugs and Prayers!
