Still on Oxygen

We have been home from the hospital since Thursday and I was really hopeful that we would be off of the oxygen by now, but we aren't. We went to the doctor's office to have her oxygen levels monitored on Friday, Sunday and again today in hopes that we would wean her off the oxygen. We are down from 1/2 liter to 1/8 of a liter, but at her appointment today her oxygen levels were still in the mid to low 90's when she was awake. The doctor was concerned about not knowing what her levels were at while sleeping, so they finally ordered an oximeter to monitor her oxygen levels at home. The oxygen company should be bringing it sometime today along with more oxygen tanks and we will take an oxygen reading every few hours day and night to see how she is doing. Then we will go back and see her doctor again on Friday. With all these doctors appointments, equipment and our long hospital stay I am very grateful to have insurance. Even though I am getting tired of paying our $20 copay every time I take her to the doctor, I am extremely grateful I don't have to pay the full charge for each short visit!!
