Here I go again!!

Hello, again! I am peeking out from under my blanket to see if it is safe to try going home again... Home is great with Mommy and Daddy and my dog Nixon; BUT riding in a car seat is really hard work for me! I passed the test so we are going to try it for real again tomorrow. Please pray for my Daddy, I know he does not want a repeat of the last car ride! But I am sure with your prayers and good thoughts that everything will be okay. God has got us through this far so why should I doubt Him now. Okay, I think I'll crawl on out and give it a try. Your praying aren't you? I am counting on you! Love "Little Coop"

THANKSGIVING AT THE OLD NICU (NEONATAL INTESIVE CARE UNIT)

Happy Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This my daddy. His name is Brooks Ogle. He is my hero. He performed CPR on me the morning my heart stopped. Isn't he terrific? I am grateful for him. I am thankful for all the NICU nurses and doctors. And my whole family is very grateful for your prayers and support. My new pilgrim hat was made by my cousin Bobby Whitaker with the help of his sister Stacy. They think my head is a lot smaller than it is :-) Aren't they silly? As my great uncle Henry always says "gobble, gobble, gobble!"

Here I am with my Mommy. I got to spend the weekend at home with Mommy and Daddy. We had a great time! I like our house and my dog, Nixon. He likes me too!

This morning we were going to the hospital to do some lab work and on the way I really stressed out. (Riding in cars is hard work for really little boys like me.) The doctor is not sure why, so I am back in the hospital for a while. My Mommy and Daddy did really good. My heart stopped while we were in the car, so Mommy got me out of the car seat while Daddy stopped the car. He jumped out and Mommy handed me to him. Daddy did CPR on me on the trunk of the car while Mommy called for an ambulance. They must have remembered all the good training they got at Children's Hospital because Daddy had me alert and responding by the time the ambulance arrived. I thank God for my brave Mommy and Daddy and for all of you who continue to pray for me and for my family. --Love Little Coop

Here is a link to Dr Louise Markert's page at Duke University:

Apparently, Dr Markert is working on some issues with the FDA, so Cooper's transplant has been delayed until January.

Emily and Brooks are staying at the hospital tonight with Cooper for their overnight "test"--so that they can bring Cooper home this weekend! We'll update you with pictures when that happens. Please continue to pray for Cooper's protection.

Got a better picture for my profile, Mom? :)

Hello! This is a picture of Emily and Cooper from a couple of weeks ago. We will have an update for you soon!
