New bed and clothes!

Today Mardee woke up with a cold sore - which unfortunately kept her from seeing Cooper in person - I know it stinks and Mardee being the trooper she is made the best of it by catching up on rest and taking care of things at home.  Great news is we have her on medicine and hopefully she will be able to visit tomorrow.

I made the 10:30 am feeding trip with Bailee and Kasadee   Today Cooper was taken off the lights and moved to a big boy bed AND is now wearing a shirt.

After I fed Cooper Kasadee and Bailee got to hold him.  You can tell from the smiles on their faces that they are having a good time.

Sydnee and I made the trip back to Provo for Cooper's 7:30 feeding, he ate much better tonight (might be because I am getting the hang of it!!) and after eating Sydnee got a turn holding him.

I think the Nurses think I am the craziest dad they have ever met but seem to be tolerating me.  Earlier today one nurse asked me if I needed her to show me how to change a diaper - I said I will give it a shot, after I changed him she said WOW where did you learn to do that - you did a good job, I said this isn't my first rodeo...

When I arrived tonight our nurse was getting ready to feed Cooper via the feeding tube, I asked if I could feed him - she looked at me and said are you sure?  Have you ever fed Cooper?  I said no but I have fed quite a few calves on the farm - same concept right......

Cooper is making steady progress - doing better each and every day.  Thanks to everyone for meals and helping us out.
