Well it has been a busy few days. Friday evening the Scheuerman's came by and then late that evening Cooper's Aunt Glo and cousin Jenni arrived for a weekend visit.
Jenni brought like 3 suitcases of music (I am not exagerrating - she used to work for the Grammy Awards) on CD's for Cooper to look through and download songs to the computer and iPod.
They also brought kolaches and TEXAS BBQ ribs and brisket -YUM!
Saturday Cooper wanted to take them to El Vaquero - so we did that and Sherry got her birthday margarita! We then took them to see the lights in Carthage - Gloria thought them magnificent.
Sunday we went and had burgers for lunch, then the usual tour of the Falls (where we ran into some of the Freitas crew) and the Candy House, where Glo bought them out. They then left about 5 Sunday afternoon.
Today Cooper went to the orthodontist and had his braces removed. I am sure that feels good.
He goes back later today for his retainer.
He has been doing really well getting around and with his PT, still some weakness on the left side. He has been in very good spirits, but gets tired easily of course.
Hoping all in Joplin are enjoying the great weather.
Love to all,
rsc

It's good to keep busy, but you're really taking it to a new level, Coop! Way to go! Can't wait to see that braceless smile! Hey, don't forget, you and I have a dinner date at El Vaquero too! Looking forward to that! I bet you're ready to get your staples out on Wednesday, eh? Glad to hear you're getting in your exercise. Keep working hard--I know you will, you always do. Sure am proud of you, Cooper Vocelka!

Hello Vocelka's. I found a book very similiar to the one that was given to us. It is from the same publisher and format is almost identical, but it has information about Cooper's type of cancer. We refer to our book more than any other book we have. I am sending a copy of it to your house. Amazon says it should be there between December 30-31. I hope you find it as useful as we found ours.
ReplyDeleteI hope Cooper is enjoying being home. It sounds like he will be very busy downloading music. Maybe he can give me some hip new suggestions to download onto mine.
Wow! What a busy couple of days you've had! Coop, I bet you feel great without those braces. Don't loose your retainer. Carly threw her's away and we couldn't find it anywhere! Sherry, I hope your birthday was good. I can't think of a better way to celebrate than with a tasty marguarita. Download some great tunes. Enjoy your time together. Much love and God bless!
