"She's been there 24/7 since being discharged," Loizzi said of Keely Roberts."She's supposed to have another surgery because I believe she's continued to have bleeding, but she demanded to be discharged and, understandably, they let her go." "His favorite pastime is being with his dog George," he said, adding that Cooper asked to see his dog and his twin brother upon regaining consciousness."They're just inseparable."A GoFundMe account started by friends of the Roberts family has so far raised over $620,000 to help the family pay for medical bills, treatments and therapy.
The school district in Zion, Illinois, where Keely Roberts has worked for the past seven years said active and retired superintendents have stepped up to volunteer their services while she and her family continue to heal.
