No more o2 at night

Nathan's oxygen has been turned off for two nights now. The respiratory specialist was pleased with his overnight oximetry test last Monday night. The plan is to now have it off for a month and see how he is going. Hopefully he will stay well and cope without it. I think I will feel more confident after a week of him being in air. It has helped that he has been in air for his day sleeps for a little while now. So I know that he can sleep comfortably in air.

I am so looking forward to cleaning out his room and getting rid of the tanks, tubes and tapes! All plans to set up his room as I woud have liked went out the window when he needed the oxygen as it takes up space. We still have a feeding pump on standby for when he doesnt cope with bolous feeds. It will be nice at some stage to be able to get rid of that too.
