Little Spence

His infection is going away with the help of some really good antibiotics. They have his water weight under control and he is looking more like our little Spence. Spence is weighing in at 3 pounds 10 ounces and is almost 15 inches long... Spence's tummy trouble is getting better because he is doing more breathing on his own. His rate is at 15 and his O2 concentration is in the 40% range. Spence's little intestines are still filled with some extra air, so they have a tube down there helping to get rid of it. Spence is also having some trouble putting out stool from his ostomy, Doctor Atkins was in there yesterday with Spence and was manipulating the Stoma (sp?) and was able to get a little bit of stool out. We will just have to wait and see what they decide, but for right now they are just going to keep taking x-rays to keep an eye on it. So far they don't see anything causing a blockage. Thank you for all the prayers on Spence's behalf, we are truly blessed to have so many wonderful people in his corner. We love you all !!! Have a great day..
