Today, Alex and I got to meet Cooper for the first time!!!! We were both so excited we couldn't stand it. He turned one month old today! He has gained some weight. He is right at 2 pounds and 6 ounces give or take a little. This is a picture I took while I was there. He is so stinking cute! I wanted to gobble him up!!!!
It has been a bit of a rough few days for Mom and Dad. Sunday afternoon, Baptist called them to say that Cooper couldn't hold off on his heart surgery any longer. He had a murmur and it had already been treated with medication, but it returned. The doctors decided to hold off on the surgery for as long as they could by taking Cooper's lead. Unfortunately on Sunday afternoon, Cooper decided enough was enough and so he was trasnferred to Vanderbilt to have it taken care of. He had a team of doctors evaulate him and it was decided that he was going to have surgery to close the valve on Tuesday morning. The surgery went great and Mom and Dad were breathing easier. Tuesday night was a bit of a rocky night, but today has gone much better. So much so, that Tiffany got one of the best presents ever.... she got to hold her baby boy for the FIRST time since he was born. I have tears in my eyes now just thinking about the excitement in her voice when she called to tell me just hours ago. Please continue to pray for Cooper as he now just has to get his breathing down and grow a little in order to be able to go home with his Mom and Dad.
