If you haven't already heard the good news, Abigail is officially done with oxygen. Abigail spent the first 9 months of her life on full time oxygen. As time went by, we were slowly able to take it away.
The last 6 months Abigail only used oxygen at night. She failed her first sleep study because she had several episodes of apnea during the night. Due to the apnea, we had to keep her on oxygen while she slept.
The oxygen at night was a big headache. She constantly pulled it off of her face and she would even fight us when we put it on her. Abigail is very strong willed. I wonder who she gets that from?! Wink, Wink :)
Her most recent sleep study was February 20th. I got the call from her doctor Tuesday with the good news.
No More Oxygen!
Abigail will need to repeat her sleep study again in 6 months. There is also a chance she will need her adenoids removed. Abigail still has obstructive apnea and we will discuss if she needs them removed with her Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor next month. Keep your fingers crossed she won't need them out. I can't stand the thought if her needing a 3rd surgery in her short life.
Here is a pic of all the oxygen that was at my house. Sooooo glad to see it go!
And here are some cute pics of the girls...Can't leave them out!
