As of today Spence has retained some more water weight, so his little body is a bit bloated. Doctor Watson called us and informed us that Spence was having a hard time breathing due to the extra water on his lungs. After going up on his rate Spence was forgetting to breath on his own. They had to put him back on the Ventilator this afternoon around 5pm. Hopefully once they give him something to get rid of the extra water weight ,they will be able to put him back on the Vapotherm ( the machine used when he is breathing on his own).

The poor little guy is trying! He just tried to fake some weight gain with water weight, but now that he knows that doesn't fly, maybe he won't try that again! He's a trooper! Love, Kalia
