Unfortunately, we are still at the hospital. I may get a little technical here, but I thought I'd try to explain what is happening right now. Olivia is still on oxygen through a nasal cannula. She has been at 1 liter of oxygen for most of the day. However, when she sleeps, her levels (which need to be at least 93 or 94) always drop. In fact, she's sleeping right now. Her levels were at 96 before and when she fell asleep, they dropped to 85. So, the oxygen had to be turned up to 3L to get the levels where they need to be. Again, this is the first step in her going home is getting those levels up all the time with no oxygen.
In other news, the nurse let us unhook things and walk (and run) up and down the halls. Olivia was so glad to get down and move around a little.
Also, we may have quite a problem retraining her when we get home. She is getting lots of prizes from the nurses, drinking tons of juice, sleeping in mommy's bed, and watching tv all day. Oh boy! But, she's happy and content, so that's all that matters right now.
I'll continue to keep you posted.
