"ReCOOPERating the Coopers"

Hello, Dear readers!

So somethings have been happening since my last post. The most recent and... also life changing is the fact that my husband Daniel just had surgery. I thought this was the best place to tell you about that.

Monday of last week my husband started having horrible pains in his stomach. He was at work when these pains started and came home for lunch around noon. From noon to one he was home, didn't eat just spent the time throwing up but felt they were gas pains so that's what we were treating. He went back to work around 1 and was back home and sick by 3 pm. We both were trying to figure out what was wrong when suddenly the pain was ONLY in his lower right abdomen. I begged my normally stubborn husband to go to the ER. He chose Urgent Care, Urgent Care quickly sent him to the ER which was thankfully just down the road. The ER took one look at him, just like Urgent Care and while they couldn't diagnose we were all pretty certain this was appendicitis. It was around 9 when they told him he would be having surgery either first thing in the morning or he would be the next surgery (they had 3 other people ahead of him who also had appendicitis) ... Minutes later they told us he was going back in 10 minutes. It was bad!

Around 11:30 is when he actually finally went back. At 1:30 his surgery was over. It went well. They had to cut him open instead of doing the lap scope though. Which means a bit longer recovery. The doctor told me that had they waited much longer his appendix would have ruptured. They went in just in time.

However, with surgeries and hospital stays comes hospital bills and as we are a family of 5 with other bills, we are in great need of help.

Enter in: A friend of mine decided to help us by starting a You Caring Page for fundraising. So this is where my wonderful friends and readers come in.

First and foremost we ask for your prayers. Prayers for continued recovery of my husband and also prayers that we are able to raise the money for the hospital bill.

2nd: Share Share Share! Please PLEASE share the page with your friends and family on social media and just in general.

3rd. If you  can help please do. My husband and I aren't people that ask for help often. We need it now though so please if you can donate know that we appreciate every little bit from every person willing to give.

The page is: ReCOOPERating The Coopers- Please Donate

Thank You
Lynnea and Daniel
