Cooper is 15 months old today!

We didn't have the easiest night last night but it wasn't too bad. Cooper was up and down a lot. Then at 4:00 a.m. they came in to do blood work. This woke him up and we stayed awake until 7! But then he had to get up at 7:30 for vitals. We had breakfast from 8:15 until 9. Occupational therapy started the days' therapies, followed by speech, which is always his favorite. Then, he got a new walker during physical therapy, but was so tired he barely used it.

Cooper ate a really good lunch, but I think that's because he was so tired he didn't know what he was doing! He napped, then we played, walked, had dinner, walked some more, took a wagon ride, then had our bath. He is sound asleep now. I'm hoping he sleeps through the night. With the busy day he had, he shouldn't have a problem.

We talked to Cooper's Oncologist and the plan is to start Chemo tomorrow. This is all new to us so please pray it goes well, especially for Cooper. St. Jude's looked at his tumor and they concluded the same thing Roanoke and UVA did. It's still low grade, but for some reason it looks a little more aggressive.  He will have all his therapies in the morning, then Chemo in the afternoon.

Daddy was making Cooper do physical therapy during speech!

 

These are all of Mommy's Fav of the Day:

These pictures make me laugh. He had so much fun with the "baby" today. He patted, talked to, and kissed him! It was even funnier to be there.

Cooper liked the smaller ball so much, she pulled down the BIG one! And of course, he loved it!

Cooper's new walker, which he hasn't gotten the hang of yet.

 

We were so proud of Cooper today. He learned how to push the elevator buttons!

 

Some of the new art work they've put up on the main floor.

 

Cooper loved the fish. He watched them for the longest time. Another cool thing here!

Cooper wrote Santa a letter today.
