I walked in and they were rounding on Amelia. She has been at 1.5 liters of oxygen since 9:00 this morning and she is at 55% oxygen. As the doctor pointed out, because the flow is lower, she is actually getting the same amount she was getting at 2 liters and a lower oxygen setting.
The doctor was starting to talk about things like what kind of monitor we wanted to use when we get home. The nurse is teaching me how to take care of her g-tube site and is talking about how to administer meds and everything. She wants to make sure I am preparing now instead of the last few days before she goes home so I will be comfortable with it. This is it. The end of our NICU stay really is near.
