Little Spence

We are preparing for Spence to come home hopefully sometime by the end of this month or the beginning of October. Right now it just depends on Spence and how fast he recovers from his Hernia surgery. Once Spence is recovered from surgery he will hopefully take off with is feedings and be able to drink 8 full bottles. Spence will also have to come off of the Vapotherm before he comes home, but I know he can do it. With Heavenly Father's help he will be home in no time. They have changed Spence's standard flow nipple over to a Special Nipple usually reserved for children with Special eating needs such as a cleft pallet. He is doing awesome with it, usually when Spence was eating with a normal standard flow nipple he would take about 25-30 minutes eating his bottle, he would also end up very tired from eating. With this new Nipple he is finishing the bottles, most of the time under 20 minutes, he seems less tired and more alert once he is done eating. Spence's Hernia surgery was scheduled for today at 11:15 am but Dr. Glasser had an emergency surgery come in that needed Spence's slot, so we have been moved to Friday at 7:30 am. I am hoping and praying that this will be his last surgery and that he will be able to come off the Vent quickly. I know that last time he was really agitated while having it in so hopefully it will motivate him to have it come out sooner. I appreciate all of your prayers for tomorrow's procedure. I know that he will be ok if I just leave it in our Heavenly Father's hands. Thank you again for all the love .. I will keep everyone posted on his progress after the surgery.
