| Introduction | Soon after his first birthday Cooper fell ill. After misdiagnosis and many unanswered questions, scans revealed a hematoma on his spine. At 13 months of age Cooper underwent a major operation to remove the bleed. Whilst recovering in hospital Cooper's condition worsened. He was in immense pain and unable to walk. Doctor's administered strong pain relief, which tragically masked the symptoms that Cooper's spinal cord was being compressed by a second bleed. 20 hours later Cooper was rushed to emergency surgery. The heartbreaking result is that Cooper is now a quadriplegic and, to this day, he has not regained movement from his chest down. In the last year Cooper has undergone numerous operations, had dozens of scans, and spent months in hospital. |
