Pneumonia Update!!

So yesterday morning mom mom dropped Coop off at our house and she definitely wasn't her chipper self. She was coughing and kept saying her tummy hurt. We had "love fest" and watched 20 minutes of Toy Story 3 and all of sudden she was ready to go see her dog Pippa Pepper at Gigi and Pappa's house. She was fine in the car but kept saying her tummy hurt. When we got to their house she threw up again outside and was giggling the whole time because all the dogs were trying to get to the puke... sick(I'm telling you... she is a rock star). At that point Kerby had already talked to the Dr. Curran (Coops CF doctor) and they had made the decision to admit her to Christus Santa Rosa Children's Hospital in Downtown San Antonio (at least its convenient lol yeah right!)

Here she is riding her toy suitcase ... she didn't realize we were going to the hospital yet...
 Poor little thing didn't get to eat or drink anything until 5 PM because she had to be put completely under to get her central line... you explain no snacks or drinks to a 4 year old all day! She was beyond unimpressed. They had to give her an IV first and that took like 30 minutes while she fought it the entire time and screamed bloody murder! They did something neat though.. before they took her they gave her a little doll and let her color it and explained exactly what they were going to do to her and even let her practice on the doll. (unfortunately this didn't help the screaming and tears).


here she is with her doll explaining how the IV works

coloring her doll

practicing putting the IV in with her doll


they put her IV in her left had so she couldn't suck her thumb.. not a happy camper! Good thing that was temporary!!

sleeping from the anaesthesia

after she got her PIC line... she was sooo happy she could suck her thumb again!
  After that we watched snow white and tried to relax. All the nurses were super sweet. She had a chest xray late last night and we should know something soon to see how she looks inside... She ate a BIG dinner and was a little piggy pudding! The hardest part is that we don't know how long she will be there so far.. looks like a minimum of 2 weeks.. not fun but it has to be done to get her healthy again! Ill keep you all posted! Here are a few pictures of our SUPER COOPER!!
Oh yeah she decided on theme for her room while she is there. We are decorating it so its fun and gives us something to do the next 2 weeks.. the theme is "UNDER THE SEA, LITTLE MERMAID". ILL POST PICTURES AS WE PROGRESS!
