We had an appointment with the pulmonologist yesterday, which went very well (other than the 2 hour car ride home due to traffic, Jude screaming, Jude eating, and Jude barfing). We were able to pick up the equipment for the sleep study for Jude to test whether or not he still needs oxygen for sleeping. We did the study last night and we think it went great! He made it through the whole night without setting off the alarm (which would indicate that he was desatting too much)...unless we slept through the alarm, but we're quite sure we didn't. So, we're very hopeful that once the doctor reviews the test, she will order no more oxygen. We will return the equipment on Monday and are hoping she'll be able to review the results Monday or Tuesday.
As for the breathing treatments....ugh. The doctor said she usually continues them until the kids are a year old, but never beyond that. We told Jude, "Don't worry, you only need these treatments about 300 more times." Good thing he doesn't know how to count. Too bad we do.
It's possible that our apartment will be machine free and oxygen tank free a few days from now. So, if any of you are having trouble breathing, don't come here for help.
