Update from Mommy

I just wanted to give you a quick update on our little Spence... Today Spence's Dr called me and informed me that his electrolytes and sodium levels were a bit low. The Doctor is a bit concerned due to the fact that all the normal factors for this type of result dont apply in Spence's case. The normal factors would be to much IV fluid, or an excess in urine or stool output. Spence wasn't on any IV fluids and his urine and stool output have been normal, so Spence has the doctor a bit stumped. They are running some tests, which include a blood test and also a urine test to see if they can find the cause for such an abnormality in Spence's case. They have put him back on IV fluids to try and bring up his sodium and electrolyte levels. His respitory progress is still good, he is on 3 liters of oxygen and his O2 concentration is in the mid 30's -40's, which for Spence is good. He isn't gaining weight like they would like him to be so they have spoken with the nutritionist to see if we can boost his weight gain. Spence at this moment in time weighs in at 2 pounds 8 ounces. Thank you for all of your continued support we really appreciate it.. Love you all !!!
