Sorry for not posting yesterday! We didn't get home from Primary's until 11:30 pm, and 9 am church came quickly. :) Coop has had two good days. He was having some apnea moments yesterday on the ventilator, but those have lessened substantially today. He is impressing everyone with how well he is breathing!
Cooper is also tolerating his breast milk feedings (through a feeding tube) extremely well, and his doctors have been increasing the amount that he receives. Unfortunately he hasn't been gaining weight, but that has only been the real concern from the last two days. Today he had a great, quiet day, and hopefully packed on a few ounces:)
Also, the cutest thing about Cooper is that he is now sucking on a pacifier! The pacifier is so small, but gigantic in Cooper's tiny mouth. We're so happy that he is mastering his sucking reflex!

This last week was Be the Best You Camp, the teen girls camp that I spend months coordinating. I was so worried about how everything would come together for BBY when I went into labor the week before camp, but we had an amazing team of women that jumped in and were able to make sure everything ran smoothly while I was in the hospital and in the NICU with Cooper. Each day at BBY 230 teen girls and over 30 incredible women kept Cooper in every prayer that was offered. I know that the faith and prayers of these women for Cooper have contributed to the wonderful progress he has made this week, and how well he has recovered from surgery last Friday. These sweet girls have been Cooper's angels!
