Before July Fourth, Cooper Roberts was almost always active and running around. Life has looked very different since the 8-year-old was shot and left paralyzed
Life has looked very different since the 8-year-old was shot in the Highland Park Fourth of July attack, and left paralyzed. Seven people were killed and dozens injured by the gunman who fired from a roof into the crowd. "There are layers upon layers of cruelty with being shot by a sniper. Most people don't witness the grueling aftermath of surviving these devastating wounds," Cooper's family said in a Tuesday update on his condition.
"He is on a constant IV drip of antibiotics to ward off infection, has swelling that obscures the full internal picture, and suffers stomach pain as his body relearns to process mainly liquid food. He remains on heavy painkillers," the update said.Cooper was recently cleared to begin eating some solid foods, his family said, but he feels"full and nauseous" after only a bite or two.
