Well, Cooper has been in the hospital a lot since my last journal entry. He spent halloween and his first b-day in Chapel Hill.The scabs in his nose turned out to be a fungal infection. He had several debreedings of his nose which is where they go in and delicately scrape the fungus out of his nose. The fungus and debreedings ate through his septum which they said was easy as pitching a tent to fix. The fungus then spread to his knee causing osteomyalitis again. This went on for about a year. We are finally getting the fungus infection under control. It is almost gone, but his knee had lost the range of motion from the damage done to it. With physical therapy and a brace he is starting to put weight on it and getting ready to start crawling. He is eating a lot more and up to 14lb5oz at this point. We have had several blood transfusions and a boost of donor cells. He got another infection in his lungs that put him back on oxygen and back on the ventilator and in the PICU. Let me tell you, we had no idea that was coming. He was also in the hospital for his 1 year anniversary of his stem cell transplant. It is a slow and always a waiting game to see when his immune system is going to kick in but he is getting a lot better. We have been home now for up to almost 4 months now and it has been so nice to see Tanner and Cooper get to play and love eachother and to be a family again. He is still on oxygen but just below a 1/2 litre which is just a whiff of air. Thank you so much for the many prayers, thoughts and generous donations you have given my family. We are truly blessed.
