Cooper had a great visit to CHOP ENT and according to Josh Cook,who took him since I was on Ella's field trip, the doctor looked in his ears and said, tubes needed. Coop has a built up of fluid that needs tubes to aide in the process of ridding that fluid. They also tested his hearing as it's been a concern (yes, I realize he's a boy, but it was getting really bad!) And he is experiencing mild to moderate hearing loss due to the fluid. It's felt that once the tubes are put in his hearing will improve. Scheduling his surgery tomorrow. Please keep Coop in your prayers moving forward for an easy procedure and healing and better ears!!!

Prayers for Cooper today. ENT Appt to check his hearing and hoping to see why he gets so many ear infections.

This guy is starting his 5th Board... wow!

On Monday my friend Amy Di Gregorio was talking to Cooper and asked him his middle name. She was getting the feeling that maybe he wasn't clear on what she was asking (he knows his middle name so I think he was just goofing with her) .... she goes on to tell him that Ella's middle name is Mae does he know his... He looks at her and says... Coop Dog! Oh dear child. He's heard himself called that more than his given name so it's no wonder he said that. He rightfully knows his full name but this was funny. I actually think I cried a bit from laughing when Amy shared this with me.

Watching Cooper prepare for his Show Off class next week! He's really improved in his balance and gymnastic abilities this year!
