Today, our Little Princess had an appointment with her respiratory doctor, Dr Alan at the Royal Children Hospital, Brisbane. We were hoping that her oxygen requirement will be weaned down today. During the appointment, we were asked a couple of questions on how she was going with her feeding. Her feeding has been good actually since she was home. Dr Alan was more convinced that she was feeding very well because she had gained about 132g since she was discharged from the hospital.
Dr Alan wantede to trial her on half her current oxygen supply, which is 500mls/min down to 250mls/min and monitored her oxygen saturation using an oximetry for about half an hour just to see how she would cope with the new lower setting. She passed!! Throughout the monitoring, her oxygen saturation remained between 97 to 99% and even during bottle-feeding! Clever girl! Dr Alan and team was very happy and decided to let us go home with 250mls/min.. Yippie!!
Rock on Baby Rania!!!
