Cooper Bell
The Bell family, in Roxton, has requested prayers for their son. I've included the information, starting from Sunday morning.
First post on Sunday morning at 7:30 a.m.: Seven year old Cooper Bell was on his Dad's Razor ATV, on Saturday, and he and his cousin were ejected from it. (His parents are Jerimy Bell and Stacie Cooper Bell from Roxton.) Care flight picked him up from the house and took him to Children’s Medical City Dallas. He broke his femur and he got out of surgery around 3:30 Sunday morning. Doctor said he shredded his muscles in the upper leg but he fixed the femur. He will have to have a couple more surgeries this week to clean out all the grass in the leg.
Sunday 12:35 p.m.: They did another x-ray and his other leg is also fractured. They will do surgery on Monday at 8:30 a.m.
Monday 6:06 p.m.: Cooper had his second surgery and doctor was still not able to close the wound. They are concerned about infection and added another antibiotic. They also sent tissue for culturing. He is considered high-risk at this point. Another surgery is scheduled for Wednesday morning and a plastic surgeon has been consulted as well. Please continue to pray for complete healing.
Today 7 a.m.: Cooper's surgery is at 7:30am. Pray no infection and that they can close the wound. Also they will be putting in a pic-line. We have been up most of the night again with lots of right leg pain.
Today 11 a.m.: Cooper's surgery didn't go as well as they expected. They removed dead skin and muscle. They were able to put in the pic-line. They said he will be in a lot of pain for the next few days and will have another surgery on Friday.
