Cooper's last day of chemotherapy!!!!!

Today is Cooper's last day of chemotherapy.  This is so exciting.  It has been a really hard year.  Chemotherapy is bad stuff.  It makes him feel so sick.  It will be so nice for him to be done.  When the chemo road map is finished there is a bell that Cooper will ring.  Here are pictures from his last day.

 Above is Coop and Ben.  Ben is a super great guy who helped take care of Cooper and he happened to be here for his last day.
 Above is Amie, Cooper's nurse.  We were also excited that Amie was there for Cooper's last day because she is definitely one of our favorite nurses.  She was with Cooper at the beginning and we haven't had her again until his last 2 days.  She is 6 months pregnant with a boy.  We are so excited for her.
 This is Tommy.  He is another favorite that happened to be here on Cooper's last day.  He is getting ready to do Cooper's last vitals before leaving the hospital.  He also made Cooper a poster to celebrate his last day of chemo.
 This is the last MESNA that Cooper had to have before he was discharged.  This stuff pushes the chemo through all the important organs so it doesn't cause damage.
 Here is Cooper by the bell.
 Here is the saying under the bell.  It is kind of hard to read.
 Here we together after Cooper rang the bell with Tommy's poster.  Jared and I were a little emotional.  It has been a long hard year and it is hard to believe he is finally finished.
 As we were walking out of the hospital there was this ice sculpture so Coop stopped for a picture.
Cooper picked out this ornament and it fits the time perfectly.  It is a picture of a little bald cancer kid holding up an IV pole saying "I Survived!".  A perfect way to end this year and celebrate Christmas.

  3. WooHooooo! I LOVE that bell, it makes me cry and I can't wait until Ty gets to ring it! I love the ornament too! Good luck with his next 'stuff', we should get together soon! We were there today and the ice sculptures are still there, but certainly not that cool looking anymore :) I am so excited he is done with poison!!
