Cooper Update #3: Post Surgery.
I am currently wordless...
Cooper has made it successfully through surgery. He is currently resting comfortably in a regular crate, outside of the oxygen incubator. He is breathing on his own and .... he is beginning to have use of his front legs.
*woooosh*

We are not allowed to visit him just yet but a snapshot made by one of the staff has brought a fresh new perspective and wave of emotion running through every part of me.

Cooper is on the mend and is tentatively slated to return home by Monday evening. Many many Thanks to Dr. Wayne Berry and the staff of Southern California Veterinary Specialty Hospital in Irvine.

The fundraising effort:
Family: 4100
Cooper fundraiser: 1200+ (24 doners and counting, a majority of them the very peeps whom roam these here halls. WOW! You are all just amazing!)
R.U.F.F.: 1000

Total so far: 6300+

Total bill from SCVSH was originally 7400
Total Bill from LBVC is 1200

Cooper's Total Bill: 8600

Fundraising effort continues... $2300.00 to go

Thank you all for helping to bring Cooper back to his family! Wow. Just wow... A vastly different outcome than was originally standing in front of me. Miracles do happen!
