Today, our little Princess Rania had another appointment with her main doctor, Dr Adam at the Royal Brisbane Women Hospital. Before seeing her doctor, her physiotheraphist came to see how Rania was progressing physically. Her physiotheraphist told me to encourage baby do lots and lots of tummy playtime to help her develop her muscles. She also mentioned that her head was a bit flat on the left side too. Rania should be encouraged to sleep on her right side to balance it out. Or while she was awake to put all her toys that she loved on her right side to encourage her turn that way. I think its going to be hard work because Rania loves to sleep facing her head left and turns her head to the left side when she is awake! HeHe...
Dr. Adam said that Rania is growing very well based on her weight gain and increase in length. Dr. Adam received a letter from Rania's respiratory doctor, Dr. Allan, telling him to reduce her oxygen from 250to 200mls/minute. But I told Dr Adam that it couldn't be done because the next level down on her oxygen regulator is 125mls. So he decided to keep her oxygen at 250mls. Hopefully in the next appointment with the Dr. Allan on the 16th December, her oxygen can be reduced to 125ml! The aim is to get Rania to cope with the lowest oxygen settings a much as possible and then get off the oxygen completely. I wonder when that will be??
