Is Cooper a republican?

I don't know if he is or not, but he seemed awfully sick after the final election results came in.



Poor Coop has now been to the doctor twice in about 20 hours! He woke up around 2AM, miserable with a fever and wheezing. He was so pitiful that we let him sleep in our bed, which meant that eventually Chip made his way to the couch for the remainder of the night. The doctor thought Cooper was getting a sinus infection AND croup, so we're on antibiotics, steroids and breathing treatments. Let's just hope poor Kendall doesn't get sick for her birthday party!

Coop handled his first breathing treatment in 2 years like a champ. Until he got bored, then we had a fight on our hands!

Great news today...Chip's bone scan and chest film came back clear, so if this rotten tumor is cancerous, it has not spread anywhere else in his body! Thank the Good Lord for that!!!!!!! Be warned, a friend of Chip's from high school was dianosed with a brain tumor recently. I was asked yesterday if Chip had a brain tumor. Seems like the Maryville rumor mill is in full swing and, as usual, not always right. I can certainly see where people might get confused since this is all happening so close together and to people the same age. Be sure and set them straight if anyone asks if Chip has a brain tumor!

Congratulations to our friend Charles West for his Maryville School Board victory last night! If any of you had to do with his narrow victory, thank you!
