Well, we are underway again and it was not fun saying goodbye again. He had an OK night and was quite pleased with the unlimited supply of Gatorade that my co-workers stocked in the fridge for him. He ate a full sleeve of saltine crackers and that was dinner.
This morning was rough simply because of pain issues. He could only have Tylenol, which didn't make him too happy. It sucks seeing your kid in pain. :( The plan today is to let him recover for a couple hours in the post-op area and then head back up to his room for the rest of the day. We may still hopefully come home tonight if his blood pressure cooperates. They were high all day and overnight, so we will see.
As I was typing this, the surgeon just came out to let us know they are done and they handed us his old pacemaker. Nice souvenir, huh? Doug is thinking of making a necklace out of it. We will head back in just a minute to go see him. They warned us that they had to dig to get it out and he will be pretty sore, but at least it's out!
Finally, I just wanted to let all of you know who are reading this that I have felt your prayers and they have sustained us all. It is so incredibly humbling to have the support we have. Thank you!!!!

What an incredible experience. We hope that all continues to go well.
Haley, thanks for keeping us updated! I was going to stop by last night after work, but didn't think you'd want me around in my dirty, germy scrubs ;-). I'm so glad that Coop has his new pacemaker. How cool that the Dr. let you have the old one! When will they let you take him home?
Just thought we would let you know that we are thinking about you. Give Cooper our love!

It's so small!! I dont know what I was expecting it to look like, but WOW. We are praying that Cooper has a very fast recovery!
All of Kadens prayers have said that Please bless that Cooper wont have pain... hopefully it will help a little! Im so glad its out though and we cant wait to come see him.
