Cooper Roberts, the 8-year-old boy paralyzed after the Highland Park, IL shooting, is in very critical condition.
Roberts underwent a seventh surgery Wednesday to reclose the original bullet-induced tear in his esophagus.
Cooper was spiking a fever and had an elevated heart rate due to a new infection, which is being treated with medication, spokesperson Anthony Loizzi said Tuesday, adding that doctors shared that one of the boy's lungs was partially collapsed. "We did have to operate on both his abdomen and his chest because of the location in order to stop the bleeding from the aorta, which is the main blood vessel that feeds the body from the heart," she said.SEE MORE: Highland Park shooting: Paralyzed 8-year-old back in critical condition, completes 7th surgeryShe said before July 4 she had treated adults, but no one as young as Cooper Roberts, for injuries from the type of high-powered rifle allegedly used in the shooting.
