Little Spence

Spence is doing really well. He is now 8 pounds 2.3 ounces and 19 inches long. He is getting so big but is still so small looking to me. Spence is no longer on the Vapotherm and no longer has his NG tube for feeding. Spence is doing his best to eat his 8 bottles a day, he is finishing them but sometimes he is really tired after eating them. He is up to 72 cc's every three hours. Spence is eating from a haberman nipple that is meant for Special feeding issues. Spence has a very narrow pallet due to him having the Vent in for so long. He is expected to be home sometime by the end of this month or early October, it just depends on him and how much progress he makes. The Doctor's are hopeful that Spence will be able to come off the wall oxygen all together before he comes home. I am so excited that the time for him to be home with us is fast approaching. We are busy getting the house together, we are getting rid of a lot of junk that we don't use or need so we don't have to much junk collecting dust. I am going to have Joseph download some pictures of Spence so everyone can see how much he has changed.
