Little Spence

Spence is doing very well, his nurse last night said she wouldn't be surprised if he was off the Vent in the next couple of days. Spence's settings are 25 for his rate and 38 for his O2%. Spence is also breathing over the Vent a little bit, so he is trying to do it on his own, which is really good. He is still a bit swollen but I am told that some of it could be from the steroids they are giving him, and some could still be from surgery. Spence's incision is healing well, and looks great. The Nurse's have started giving Spence a suppository to help him go potty, so far he has had a couple little movements, which means his intestines are working. Yay !! The Nurse's and Doctor's are thinking that once they start feeding him again his movements will improve and become larger. Last night Spence had his eye's open for the first time in days, it was so cute. Spence is losing some weight but I am told that most of the weight he is losing is water weight. Spence's current weight is 5 pounds 10 ounces. I asked his Nurse last night how much she thought he would weigh after losing all of the water weight, she seems to think that he will still be around 5 pounds. He has come a long way from 1 pound 4.5 ounces. Thank you for all of the support. I still have some new pictures I need to have downloaded, but I promise they are coming :o) .. I hope everyone has a great day ..
