Since Little Princess' last appointment last week, her respiratory doctor, Dr Alan Isles, decided to reduced her oxygen requirement from 500ml to 250ml. This change was based on her good weight gain and the good oximetry test done during the appointment.
We brought her back to the Royal Children's Hospital for a follow up check. Nervous, but excited at the same time, Hubby however was very calm through out the time. Her weight was measured and another oximetry test was done. Great news! Rania had gained 103g for the past 6 days and her oxygen saturation has been fantastic! Good girl! Dr Isles said, based on the oximetry, her oxygen could actually be lowered furher down but instead decided that she should be maintained on the lower oxygen settings for the next 3 weeks before lowering it further. Just to follow a safe procedure.
The best of all, Dr Isles predicted that our Little Princess will be free from using the oxygen in about 2 months time. Amin!! Alhamdulillah, so far everything has gone well since she went home. Hubby has been a great help coming to Brisbane to help look after little bubs. I cannot wait to have her oxyen removed completely.
