Happy Holidays to everyone and your families. The gifts under the tree are nice but being with the ones you love is the best gift we could ever receive. (my opinion)

Quick update. Kendall had a routine appointment with the lung specialist Kendall’s oxygen level typically varies from high 80s to low 90s. However, the doctor was concerned that they have always been in the 80s and never the 90s at her last few appointments so she suggested a sleep study.

Kendall did the sleep study at home last week and her oxygen level was monitored all night while she slept.

I just received the results from the doctor and she stated that Kendall could benefit from some low dose oxygen while she sleeps and also during the day if needed.

This is how the doctor explained the reasoning for the oxygen to me: We want Kendalls oxygen levels to be upper 80’s-90s at all times. When we are sleeping, everyones oxygen levels may typically go down a little but Kendall doesn’t have the reserve like you and I do because ours would still be in a normal range. If Kendall is already in the 80s, when she sleeps it could go lower than that and we don’t want that to happen. Even during the day if she’s tired, short of breath etc….we can put the oxygen on her. It’s portable so that we can take it anywhere and use it if necessary.

We have been down the oxygen road many times so we are not worried this time around. She’s getting taller and gaining weight so it all makes sense that this would be something normal that would happen as her body adjusts to all of the changes.

I may borrow her oxygen every now and again when I go up and down the stairs lol

Happy New Year to all of #Team Kendall
