Well unfortunately little Spence had some bad blood gas's last night and was taken off the Vent and put on the Oscillator. His Nurse said that he will hopefully only have to be on the Oscillator for 3 or 4 days. His settings right now are a bit high but his blood gas's are getting better, so they will hopefully be able to lower the settings soon and get him back on the regular Vent. Spence is also having some blood pressure issues as well. Spence is on blood pressure medication to help with his low blood pressure. His low blood pressure according to his Nurse is most likely due to the morphine he is getting. Spence is resting well and will be pretty much out of it for a little while. Due to the surgery Spence is also very swollen but I am told that all of this is normal. I am looking forward to him making a full recovery. Thank you for all the prayers on our behalf.
