It's the small things that make a big difference. Since starting the oxygen, she slept 6 hours straight in one night. 6!!!!! She did so well the past few nights, I decided to try her on her back last night. DUH! What was I thinking?! So this morning I hooked her up to her oxygen, and put her in her stroller. She was out! At least, I think she is.... I left her in the very capable hand of her daddy and big sister and a monitor. Yup.
After the oxygen test, they took the monitor away. I was a complete wreck. Here was this nice little device that could warn me before it got bad and now I had to rely on my own (seriously diminished) ability to recognize when something is wrong. At church, my friend who has had a preemie, told me that she had a monitor that I could borrow. What a HUGE blessing and miracle. The stress is greatly reduced!
She is doing good though. No more attacks when she is asleep, but only when she is awake. She just drops for whatever reason.
On another note, if your child is suffering from an extended period of pink eye, please do not bring them or their unmedicated/ contagious siblings to nursery. Katie got it. While I do have meds and hers is almost gone, now Ty is getting it. And trying to tell a 3 year old "don't touch the baby" or "dont get within 10 feet of the baby or anything the baby touches" is kind of unrealistic. It also prevents people from coming to help hold the baby, and thus long lives the skunk. Thank goodness Ty finished a term this week and has school off for the rest of the week. He got and A and a B! I am super proud of him!!!!
