Cooper has had a very busy week. We started the week off with picking blueberries. Cooper didn't mind that at all as long as we kept him moving. Maw Maw kept him for a few hours on Monday and treated him out to lunch. Tuesday was Mommy's birthday but we didn't do anything. Cooper did show off that afternoon, laughing harder than I ever remember him doing so. We made homemade muffins with our fresh picked blueberries.
Wednesday was by far the worst day. Cooper had one of his three therapies in Roanoke then we headed to the hospital to get blood work. After over an hour of Mommy, Daddy, and two nurses holding him down the nurse finally got enough blood to send off. It is so hard watching him fight. All of his blood work was good so we started his Chemo pill that afternoon and just finished the last one today.
Thursday we headed out early. We drove to Ripley and spent the day with my sister, her husband, and their beautiful new baby, Eli. Cooper did great until I held Eli. Then he wanted his mommy. We left that evening and drove into Charleston and stayed with Randy's grandparents. We had a nice visit with them. We headed back Friday afternoon. Our trips north are always too short.
Cooper and Mommy spent Saturday finishing up his playroom. He has a little "cubby" area off to the back of his bedroom that we've always used for storage. I cleaned out and organized our attic so Cooper could have a place to make a mess and Mommy and Daddy wouldn't worry about it! I was so excited when it all fell together and Cooper loves it in there.
We have a lot of appointments this week. Cooper has therapy tomorrow, two therapies Tuesday plus his 6 month evaluation meeting, Roanoke on Wednesday, therapy on Thursday and Friday. It never ends!

For Cooper to have to have something going on all of the time, he sure is a happy boy. The pictures with Cooper and Eli are awesome, Eli's hand on cooper's is so sweet. Wish they lived closer together. I know they would be best buds! You've done a wonderful job with Cooper's playroom. It looks great, no wonder he loves it. I hate to hear getting his blood was so hard. Breaks my heart just knowing about it. I know it's very hard on you having to hold him and to have to watch. I'm so proud of Cooper for all that he has accomplished and for being the "Trooper Cooper" that he is. Love, Hugs & Prayers
