I didn't post last night due to Cooper being up until after 2:00 a.m. After fighting with him for several hours, I was ready for bed myself. He didn't rest well even though he seemed very tired. All day today he was restless, pale, and weak. His eyes are sunken in and are very dark. His blood counts were down, but thankfully not enough for a transfusion. Chemo is so hard on the body and it's heartbreaking watching him suffer through this.

Cooper had his therapies in Roanoke today. We made it to Pearisburg when he got sick and threw up everywhere. (Thanks to Chemo!). We had to turn around to trade vehicles because his car seat was soaked. After this one spell he seemed a little better.  He did great for his speech session and tried really hard for his OT, but by the time it was PT's turn Cooper was finished. She was able to get him fitted for his gate trainer. If he will use it, it will help him walk around the house independently. We hope to try to put him in it tomorrow if he feels up to it.

He ate a little better today. He ate several French fries at McDonald's. I fixed him his blueberry pancakes when we got home and he ate some of those. I fixed myself a bowl of oatmeal and he wanted some. He ate about 1/2 of my bowl. I couldn't get him to take his Carnation in milk before going to bed, so I hope he doesn't wake hungry.

This boy loves the computer. He actually saved two documents and created a hyperlink! Daddy said maybe he could teach Mommy a few things!

 



 

Mommy's Fav of the Day: (yesterday) You can't really see it in this picture, but Cooper is standing up without holding on to anything! He did this for about two minutes!
