As for the prongs in her nose, honestly we tape the cannula down so the prongs are all the way in, but after a few minutes, (seconds sometimes) she's already started pulling it out. During her last sat test I actually had it taped perfectly, so its hard to say whether it matters or not. I imagine that since its such a minute amount of O2 that it probably does matter. But as you know, its VERY hard keeping the cannula on right. We tried to stop using tape, but that was a disaster at night. She'd pull the whole cannula off in her sleep. And then we'd have to wake her to put it back on.

I know I jump at...I hope her breathing gets better. I know I jump at the slightest thing when Dakota seems "off". I've been curious about this for a while but does it seem to make a difference in her saturations if the cannula's all the way in her nose as opposed to pulled out farther like it's usually taped? With Dakota we notice a huge difference in saturations and breathing if the prongs aren't entirely in her nose. Do you guys have a pulse oximeter at home to keep track of her sats?Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146225265988304423noreply@blogger.com
