My friends, Cooper's scans came back ALL CLEAR!!! I don't know if you felt it but I just took a DEEP BREATH . Thank you for praying for him and for those of you who have checked in on him 🧡 Gahhhh, my heart! This one was a harder one for me for some reason. 12 weeks until his next surgery and another whole set of tests! I know you have all heard about the organization "Make-A-Wish". I mean how could anyone not LOVE what they do for kids who are facing such ugly health

I am reliving all of the beginning days and weeks of Cooper's diagnosis (even when I try to ignore it).
