Happy Birthday {2 days late}, Karen!

Friday was Karen's birthday! {we'll leave the age out...} SO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KARENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUU!!!

Happy birthday sis, I hope you had a fantastic day! Cooper also told me to wish you a happy one and that he loves you bunches!

Yesterday and today have been an improvement. Cooper still needs work on his breathing, but it is better than it was! His lungs are starting to look better too. Turns out he had a staph infection and e Coli in his lungs.

WHAT!?! you may say... {I did at least...} He got it from his breathing tube. Sometimes bacteria will just start to grow in it, and that seems to be what happened. They DO change and clean the tube on a regular basis though. Sometimes it just happens. He is being treated with antibiotics and on his way to being well.

As of this morning;

They think that his breathing problems from just a few days ago was because his chest was so congested. Poor little guy just didn't feel very good... and again, I'm not even kidding when I say he is one snotty little kid....
His breathing is improving, and they are slowly lowering his numbers - so they can kind of ween him off of the vent.
OH!! He is 2 pounds 14 ounces.... ALMOST 3 POUNDS!!

Sweet Coop is already a Rangers fan... {tiniest Rangers fan there is} - good luck to him if he dares like another team.....
And yes, this is an ice cream bowl hat that J&K put on him.... I"m pretty sure they washed it out first.

PRAYER REQUEST:

KEEP praying for Coop's lungs and that they develop quickly and STRONG! For his breathing to improve on a daily basis and we want to get back on the CPAP soon!!!

KEEP K&J in your prayers always. For peace, strength and plenty of rest.
