Little Spence

Turns out that Spence's ROP has become worse and is at a stage three. At this point Spence's ROP is very severe and they are going to do Laser eye surgery on Monday morning at 7am.. This surgery won't fix the vision loss that has already occurred but it will hopefully prevent the ROP from progressing any further. About 90% of the time the surgery is a success and the ROP doesn't progress any further, but there are those rare cases when the Surgery doesn't work and they have to go back in and do another surgery later on down the road. Unfortunately if they have to do another surgery down the road the chances of Spence's eyesight being great are slim to none. As of right now the Eye doctor's Nurse Sharon seems to think that even with the surgery Spence will need to have glasses when he is a toddler. In order to do the Eye surgery they will have to put Spence back on the Vent, which is kinda scary seeing as he has had some trouble coming off the Vent before. Spence's Nurse's are hopeful that he might surprise us and come back off the Vent fairly quick. I am hoping and praying that our little Spence is strong enough to come off the Vent sooner than later, but I have also learned that with Preemies you never really know how things are going to go. What I do know is that everything will turn out all right. No matter what he is in the best place he can be with the most loving Nurse's he can possibly have.. I love the NICU Nurse's, they are Awesome .. Especially Spence's Primaries. Thanks again for the love and prayers being sent our way .. We love you all ..
