young colorado blue spruce, is it dying?

[Nesmani]

I bought a discounted blue spruce for $2.50. I know it was in bad shape but my fiancee loves blue spruces so I was hoping to bring it back to life.
the day I brought it home it was flat on one side but decently full on the other.

p.s. that is the flat back side. I have the flat side facing the sun. there is still green on it. the last pic isnt the best quality. but it is turning brown and losing needles. please help me bring it back
