| Little Princess' night watcher, Sateria Pahlawan. Her Daddy is monitoring her o2 saturation while Mommy takes turn to sleep |
It is a big night tonight for little Princess Rania!! It is the night that we've all been waiting for. Since 7.00 pm this evening, she was being put on a test without any help of oxygen supplement while being monitored by the oximetry machine. This test is basically to monitor how she would be doing without tubes to really be sure that she doesn't need it anymore before completely removing it. Duration of monitoring will be 12 hrs, so this should end early tomorrow. This is her first night sleeping without tubes since her returning home. Excited and nervous at the same time!
She is currently doing very well. It has been 5 hours now and her oxygen saturation has been consistenly high at 97%, which is really good. While we are sleeping here in Brisbane, her lovely Daddy is wide awake monitoring her oxygen saturation from Brunei via Skype. Hubby and i are very much excited about this day and also very much hoping that she will easily breeze through this test without having her to put on her tubes no more.
Her next appointment with her respiratory doctor at the Royal Children Hospital will be tomorrow at 2.00 pm. That will the deciding moment whether or not she had passed the test. Please pray with us that she will pass the test and never have to use the ventilation tubes anymore, like any other babies. She had gone through so much and hope this will be the end of all of this. I'm sure that she will grow out of it eventually and it will only be a matter of time, but hopefully this is the moment. Amin!!
