The purpose we created this page was to be able to serve/bless Steve & Cheryl during her surgery. Cheryl is having Open Heart Surgery, Sept. 2nd, 2025.  She could be in ICU 5 to 7 days and visitors are discouraged while in ICU.  The surgery will be at St Francis Hospital. There is a possibility the Dr may recommend Cheryl go to rehab after being released from the hospital instead of going home, but she is hoping (we are praying) that she is strong enough to go home.   The Dr wants her to be prepared the first few weeks at home could be a little tough (but we know the POWER OF PRAYER). Therefore, those first few weeks, visitors are discouraged unless dropping off a meal in which a quick hello for a few minutes if she is up for a visit.  The goal is to make sure Cheryl gets enough rest and stays as germ free as possible. Thank you everyone who has reached out to see how they can help during this recovery for Cheryl (and Steve/Avery as her primary caregivers). Prayers for a successful surgery and recovery is first and foremost. In addition to prayer ---- meals, gift cards, doordash, are many ways we can help The Coopers during this season. There may be a few days where Cheryl needs someone to sit with her once Steve and/or Avery return to work.  Please follow this care page for prayer updates, Cheryl's needs as Steve and Avery return back at work if Cheryl needs someone to sit with her in addition to Rambo (the family pup). Please visit this sight often for updates, needs as we pray and cover Cheryl, Steve, & Avery in prayer during this process. Listed below are some of their favorite restaurants and meal ideas. Once you select a meal date, please complete the calendar info so we know what meals they are getting and there is not much duplication. Thank you again for being a blessing to our sweet friends... The Cooper Family during this time.
