IT IS OUT......

The vent came out at 1:40pm. I do not even know how to tell you how excited I am. I am also extremely excited to figure out how to post pictures from here. Anyway, he is holding up like a champ and looking great. I will tell you all about how great it was to see his sweet eyes and lips this evening when I can sit still long enough to tell you. Aunt Bonnie was here too for the whole thing. I have not held him yet but am getting ready to ask when I can. His RT, Teresa, is also pictured. She is who removed the tube. I will tell you all about it later but for now YIPEE!

hey this is very exciting....the whole time i have been here(whitch has been a long time but trust me i love it!) i saw that cooper has been taking many small steps forward and every once in a whill he took a little step backward but in the long run he is the little champ we all knew he would be and there is NO way that he is going to stop fighting this is a big step in his recovery process but there is still a little more to go and i want you to know that i will be here the whole time for you and cooper....hang in there big sis! Love Aunt Karli
