Emilia has been on low flow oxygen since noon Friday, this one being her second attempt to be off CPAP. Last time she lasted 30 hours. So far she's been okay for 34 hours this time. I need to call in the NICU and get updated on how she's doing right now. She does have occasional shallow breathing problems, which cause her oxygen saturation level to drop and also her heart rate, which we call a "spell". She had quite a few spells today. Normally she gets zero to one spells, so definitely she's trying to adjust to the low flow... but it's not being too easy. I hope she can just continue on, even with a few spells a day, which I know will gradually disappear as time passes.
Few pictures of Emmy with low flow nasal prongs:
(Please imagine the pink tape is not there on her nose. The nurse had to put tape there because she keeps pulling the cannula out of her nose)
