Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I'll just keep watering it and hope for the best, and not believe people when they tell me it's dead

Hi Lauere,
It is dead if all the needles turn color and fall off the branch. That branch is dead. It is dead if you scratch the bark and there is no moist cambuim underneath, it is dead if you barely move or bend a branch it snaps. Anytime those things happen it is time to recylce the tree... no point in holding out hope, as my teacher Walter Pall tells us, "Hope is the last thing to die" This is very true!!!
If it is pushing buds then you are probably in the clear.....
Thanks Vance for the reply.
