the Doctor did another scan of Spence's tiny head early this am and said that the results that came back are wonderful. The bleeds are still there but they seem to be shrinking in size and there are no new bleeds. Yippie !!!

He is also doing good with the Jaundice, he will hopefully stay off his light therepy but if his billirubin number goes up they will have to put it back on, but for now he is doing well.

They are going to try feeding him this afternoon, so we will know tonight how he tolerates feeds. He is now one pound twelve ounces and doing well. He is still on the ventilator but they are weening him little by little everyday so hopefully soon he will be off the ventilator.

What a tiny little guy! I'm so glad he is thriving for being so tiny!! Hopefully he'll do great with food and grow like a weed!!! What miracles we have now-a-days where tiny little babies can grow to be big and strong and bless their family's lives!! Love, Kalia

Hey Kim & Joseph
Greetungs & Prayers from Cape Cod. I have been following Spence everyday and pray for him every moment I can. I'm glad he is doing well. I was also very happy to read you are pumping to give himthe best there is. That will surely help him get stronger.

He must be a very very special spirit to have at the very beginning of his turn on earth, so many prayers on his behalf! What a blessing to be the parents of such a son.
