More blood work today to check his levels because the antibiotics he is on can at some point become harmful to his kidneys. Unfortunately medicine comes with side effects and the doctors are being very proactive about checking him daily even if that means a mean poke on the arm every day. They are also checking his infection rate( CFC, CBR, I have no idea what initials they gave me:)) a normal person should be at 0.5 or below, Cooper was at 20 when we started out here! Lately he has been straddling back and forth between 3-5, so big improvements but not quite enough to send us home. They are considering having another sonogram just to check that the fluid that is left around his lungs hasn't turned into a larger infection and they will be consulting with infectious disease to check over all of his bloodwork to get another opinion.
Daddy came and brought us lunch. AJ, Brittany and Aunt Lissa came to visit tonight, what a madhouse!! As you can imagine I certainly haven't lost any weight with all the good food everyone has been bringing me! :)

Am I the first to comment?!?! Woo Hoo-glad you started the blog!
Glad Cooper is showing improvement, I hope you are headed home tomorrow.
Yea!!! I know, I know...I got sucked in too by everyone saying that blogs are so fun. And now I am totally addicted. Watch, that will be you, too, and you'll be posting stuff every day. I love it b/c the kids do something cute and I'm like, "Ooh, I'll go blog about it!" Glad Cooper is doing better. So cute how he chowed down on your Wawa food.
