from mommy

Well I had great news, but it seems that it was short lived... Last night they had Spence off the Vent and back on the Vapotherm, he was on 5 liters and his O2 % was in the 60% range. I spoke with Nurse Nancy this morning and she informed me that he was unable to stay on the Vapotherm, they tried him on the Cpap and he was unsuccessfull with that as well. Nancy said that his O2 % was in the 100's and he was still D-sating. So as of this morning around 9am he was put back on the Vent. Nurse Nancy was also doing his assesment this morning and while she was checking his little boy parts she noticed that his little scrotum was very hard, she called in the Doctor who called in the Surgeon. They looked at it and they seem to think it could be one of two things, either it is a hydroseal, which they can fix when he is a little bit older with surgery, or it could be his intestine (hurnia) (sp?) which they will have to do surgery today to fix. Also his little bowels are making hypoactive (infrequent) sounds and he is still not making any stool. Our little Spence is having a rough spot right now but I know he will get through it all. Thank you so much for your prayers on his behalf. We love all of you !!
