We've got the oxygen and pulsox at home and it makes me feel safer... knowing he's breathing and getting the right amount of O2. We're on the cusp of letting it go and I'm worried to bits... I keep checking his twin brother's O2 Sat levels (our control) to compare the numbers. I'm sure I'll get used to doing it on my own but I don't think I'll ever feel quite as comfortable, especially at night, after what we've been through. Truly, ignorance was bliss (if only for me anyway... but certainly not for them)!
