Update



The past two days have been crazy. We put Cooper down to bed Sunday night about 10:30. I looked over at him because he was making a funny noise. He threw up all over the bassinet. We thought he might have just over eaten. I held him most of the night because I was worried about him. He slept and ate throughout the night and the next morning he threw up again. It was bright yellow. We could not get into the doctor until that afternoon and were worried so we took him to the Emergency Room about 11:30 Monday. They ran a bunch of test on him. It was so sad seeing them poke needles into him 3 different times and seeing him with an IV. He only cried when they poked him. I can't explain the feeling you have when you see your child in pain. It was horrible. I just held him and cried most of the day. Finally about 8:00 they came back and said he had a UTI. They gave him some antibiotics through the IV and we got to go home around 9:00 that night. Good news is we went to the Pediatrician today and she does not think it is a UTI because of some other symptoms he is having. She thinks it is the formula or mild to moderate acid reflux. We are trying some different formula and should know if it is that in a few days. Please keep Cooper in your prayers.

Poor little Cooper! He'll be a tough little booger after going through all this! We'll be praying!

He looks cute in the little blue striped suit. Did it fit him well? You all have been in my thoughts and prayers. Actually it probably hurt you more than it did him. Nothing is worse than seeing your child hurt. Hang in there and know that I love you. Give Cooper a kiss from Ganna. Keep me updated and thanks for the new pictures.
