Coop has had a hard week. Tuesday he woke up with pains in his belly but he had no fever. He said he was okay to go to school. So I let him. When he got home that afternoon he laid on the couch crying in pain. He said it hurt to walk and now it hurts all the time. I called the doctor and we got right in. He sent us straight to the ER. Josh was already working at the hospital that day and so everything was waiting for Cooper when we got there. All the test came back that Coop was having a appendicitis and so he was scheduled for surgery. The IV was so dramatic for him. It took 6 people to hold him down and so I didn't tell him what was going to happen to him in surgery. I just said they were going to make his belly feel better. Porter came to help Josh give Coop a blessing and it was one of the most beautiful blessing i have ever heard. They let me go with Coop into surgery to watch him go under. He did awesome. He was a little nervous but he was so tough. He was only under for a hour. When he woke up he wanted me to hold him and they let me. He kept on saying the hospital wanted to kill him and that he was exploding. He was so funny but it made me cry to watch him in so much pain. I don't like seeing my boys in pain. That night he slept a lot but the morning was hard. He didn't want to move but with a little bribe he was up and walking. He is doing so good. Josh said when he got his appendix out at 16 he didn't hardly move for a week it hurt so bad. Coop will only lay in bed if I will hold him and of course its my favorite thing to do. I love that little guy so much.
