Good Morning All,
Addison had a good night last night. She came off of supplemental oxygen at 1:30 pm yesterday and was able to sustain herself with minimal assistance last night. She did not require the oxygen tent or a supplemental canula, but a free-flow oxygen tube was kept near her head to enrich the environment around her. She tends to breathe with less vigor when she is fully relaxed and this small amount of additional ambient oxygen was required to keep her sat levels in the 97-100% range (she must sustain above 93% to gain her discharge). She has currently been off of supp O2 for the last 18 hours! As of the first feeding this morning I have removed the free-flow oxygen source completely and am hoping that she can sustain herself with absolutely no assistance over the next several hours. Perhaps if she can achieve this, they will release her later today. We'll keep everyone posted!
