Surgery

So my sweet little baby is more sick than we thought. After almost 4 days of continual severe vomiting we took him to the doctor for the 3rd time and overnight he had lost 12 ounces and just looked so skinny he couldn't keep anything down. Fortunately the doctor said to go immediately over to the hospital because he is so dehydrated he needs an IV. So we rushed over, they asked a bunch of questions and decided to run some tests. We did a scan of his stomach after he drank some dye type drink and found out he's even more like his daddy than we thought. When Craig was 6 weeks old he had surgery for pyloric stenosis and sure enough Cooper has it too. They were surprised because he's a little old to have it but sure enough that was the problem. Cooper goes in for surgery today, it's very scary because he is so tiny but there really is no alternative and until he does he can't eat anything. So keep little Coop in your prayers and we hope for a quick recovery.
