Pulmonologist Visit

Chloe visited with my favorite doctor yesterday - the Nigerian pulmonologist with the cool accent. He was once again very impressed with her weight gain (she's over 10lbs! Gasp!)

His instructions: Turn off Chloe's oxygen for feedings. If she eats the same amount without tiring, at the same speed, keeps her color, etc., then continue daytime feeds without oxygen. After a week of success we can take her off oxygen during the day! She'll only need it at night! So exciting!

We'll see him again in 3 months :-)

  1. I'm so jealous!! Maybe I'll give that a go. No O2 during the day would be AMAZING...

  2. I was wondering about Darbi... She seems to be doing so great. What's keeping her on O2?
