Cooper had a good night.
He still has pain and they are still trying to get the meds adjusted. He has slow respiration and some apnea when sleeping after the pain meds. So they are looking to switch to an oral pain med instead of through the IV. I do not know what the meds are.
He has been sititng up and drinking juice. His head is starting to itch where one of the incisions is. His neuroligical tests (eye dilation, eye movement, muscle control) are good.
He also was saying he rememebers going for the cat scan yesterday and that he had to have two operations. He also wanted to know if he could take a shower.
Good signs of a progressive recovery.

This third Sunday of Advent is often called Rose Sunday; today we light the rose colored candle on the Advent wreath, reminding us that there is joy during our long wait in the darkness.
You may know that another of the names for this rose Sunday is gaudete Sunday. The Latin word gaudete is our word gaudy. No matter what the world seems to offer this day, in our lives, in our world, in the midst of winter, God offers us today a Gaudy Sunday.
Wear something bright colored today, rejoice and be glad.
Blessings to All,
rsc

Our family is praying for a speedy recovery and continued good news. Cooper, you are a terrific young man! Keep fighting and get better soon so we can have you back home! I promise I will wear something "gaudy" today! May God bless you and keep you and send His angels to watch over all of you.

Glad things are progressing in a good direction. Thinking of all of you so much.... Cooper, I chaperoned the McAuley Christmas Dance last night (I know, I can hear you--WHO chaperoned ME???!! Not funny, Cooper...) Anyway, I can't tell you how many of the high schoolers kept asking me about you. You're on the minds of so many people. Know that you're also in my heart. I will be saying lots of prayers today and offering my Mass later this morning for you, for good test results and vor good news tomorrow. Hope today is a restful day with little discomfort. Or none at all, that would be even better! Love to you and your wonderful parents!

Hi Cooper,
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking of you and hope that you get well soon. I see your dad at work and heard about you so we wanted to send a message and let you know we are praying for you. My daughter Jillian was also a patient at Children's Mercy and her site is www.carepages.com. Just search for Jillian Sharp. The doctors and nurses at Children's Mercy are wonderful. We live close to the hospital so please let us know if you need anything. We would be happy to help out.
