The family of Cooper Roberts, the 8-year-old who’s spinal cord was severed in the Highland Park Fourth of July parade mass shooting, says the young boy has taken a step backwards in his recovery.
"This is his seventh surgery and is of particularly high risk given his age and current condition."
"He is in a great deal of pain – physically and emotionally – especially as the family had to share with him the devastating news that he is paralyzed from the waist down," a statement from Loizzi read over the weekend. His mother was struck in the foot and leg area, underwent several surgeries and was released from the hospital at her request so she could be by her son's side, Loizzi said. Cooper Roberts brother, Luke Roberts, suffered injuries from shrapnel and was released from the hospital.
