New update

I am so sorry that it is taking me so long to keep everyone updated on our little Spence, time just seems to fly around here. Everyone is really good, the girls are in love with Spence and have already started to spoil him rotten. Every time Spence gets upset or even looks like he is going to cry Addison comes and tells me that Spence is sad and wants mommy, I just have to smile because she is too cute. Chloe loves to hold him and just love on him, at least for five or ten minutes anyway, she usually gets bored after a little while and wants to give him back. She is always talking to him and telling him how much she loves him and how cute he is, and of course Addison wants to do everything the same as sissy, so as soon as Chloe steps away Addison is over there telling him again. Spence is now 10 pounds 9 ounces and 22 inches long. We went to the GI last week and they have decided to put Spence on Soy Formula for now, they are unsure if he has a milk issue. So far he is doing well on the Soy formula. On Friday of last week Spence had an ultrasound of his Gallbladder done to see if the Gall-stone has decreased in size, or if had completely dissolved. Unfortunately the gallstone was still there, I am unsure if it has decreased in size because due to Dr. Amarnath's policy the results will not be given until Spence's follow up appointment which is on the 13th of November. I am sure that if something came up that was concerning he would have called me, so I am sure everything is ok, when I know more I will definitely update everyone. Last week we also went to the Pulmonologist and Spence is now on 1/32 liter of oxygen, which is pretty much like breathing room air. He is allowed to be off of the Oxygen during the day as long as someone is watching him, at night he must wear it so that we are sure he is doing well. On Monday of this week we went to the Cardiologist and were informed that Spence at some point had a hole in his heart and also a heart murmer, but all is well, after they did an ultrasound of his heart everything appeared normal and we wont need to see the cardiologist again.
