We have been testing how well Jacob does off oxygen and have decided he will come home on oxygen. He has been ok without it most of the time but needs a slight amount of oxygen during and after feedings. We had a pretty clear sign he needs oxygen during feedings - he had a spell his first bottle off oxygen.
We have put him back on oxygen all the time since his doctor says he will grow and develop better with a higher oxygen saturation. The good news is the home oxygen equipment also comes with monitors so we will be alerted (very loudly) if he is having trouble.
So over the next few days we will prepare to bring our sweet boy home and will be trained on how to use oxygen at home.
