Boy wounded in parade attack moves to rehab-focused hospital
Since the shooting, Cooper has undergone at least seven surgeries and is paralyzed from the waist down. In previous statements, his family said he required time on a ventilator and breathing tube after some of those procedures, and he experienced high fevers and other complications.
Each sign of progress has been celebrated in the family's public updates: Cooper's first time consuming liquids, the first trip outside the hospital doors in a wheelchair, trips to the hospital's play room and a reunion with the family's French bulldog, George. Word of Cooper's move to the rehabilitation hospital this week sparked another burst of financial support for the Roberts family. An online fundraiser reported more than $1.7 million has been raised toward Cooper's care.“Their lives are so much more and better than this terrible thing than was done to them,” she said."Their lives are not a tragedy, they are a triumph.”, representing the seven people killed and dozens wounded in the attack.
