{Cooper's Christmas}

Cooper woke up from his nap Christmas Eve just not feeling good. He had a fever and seemed to be breathing hard, so he spent the afternoon laying on the couch watching Wall-E. Mommie and Daddy were worried so we called our doctor who gave us some instructions to try and help him feel better. In the middle of the night when he did not seem to be getting better Mommie drove C to the hospital. After they took some pictures of C's chest they told us he had Pneumonia. The doctor decided to let C stay at the hospital to make sure he gets better. C slept and slept and slept
Aunti Rara brought him some of his Christmas presents when he woke up and I think this made him feel better

C was getting special medicine and it was slowly making him feel strong again.

When he slept he had to have help getting oxygen, so the nurse put a special tube in his nose, he hated this tube! Lovie or "woof" did not leave his side.

Aunti Jules sent special feel better balloons and they worked too

Rara came everyday to make sure C was getting better and to help take care of Mommie and Daddy

C had special breathing treatments where he wore this vest that helped him feel better and helped him breath easier, he liked it!

Mommie stayed by Coops side but C was the brave one getting stronger and stronger every day

C was feeling much better by the fourth day, smiling, playing and asking to go home. The doctors made us stay one more night to make sure he could breath all night long without the help of the oxygen tube.

Once C slept all night with out help from the oxygen they let us lead up our wagon and go home!
Although this was not where any of us wanted to be this Christmas, it was the best place to help C feel better. We are so thankful for all our family and friends that offered to help and most importantly prayed for Cooper during this time. It was very scary, but God healed Coop and made him strong and happy again. C was so brave.


It is times like this we truely remember the true meaning of Christmas.
