Overnight Air Test

We had a great overnight air test. This was the first night in about two years that Nathan has been all night without oxygen (first intentional night- have had a few mishaps where we forgot to turn the tank on. Ooops!). He went really well. The saturation monitor hardly beeped and when it did it was mostly due to us not having the setting for his heart rate low enough. He only had two times that I was aware of where he dropped a bit low and I think it was mostly due to his postion. I was so pleased that we didn't need to put the oxygen on him overnight. It was a much better result than I expected.

From here we need to wait for the specialist to call after he has seen the results. If he is pleased then we will take him off for a month and se how he goes. If he loses weight or doesn't seem himself then we will do another test or put it back on. If all is good we will check in another month.
