Follow Up from Pulmonology Post

I wrote a post a week or two ago about Madison's most recent Pulmonology appointment. In it, I mentioned my anxiety about not hooking her up to her oxygen monitor & how nervous it made me. The oxygen monitor has been my security blanket since January of last year. We still have it for several more months, but we were going to try to wean ourselves off of it (because medically Madison has improved so much she doesn't necessarily need the monitor every night).

So Thursday night, we decided to try to leave the monitor off. About 10:30 I went and got her to sleep with us so I could watch her breathing. About 3:30am she ended up back in her crib. (Jake wasn't getting much sleep, and he has long work days on Fridays). She did great! We didn't sleep much, but she was just fine.

So all weekend, she has slept in her crib with no monitor & Jake and I have actually slept pretty well! Very big step for us (especially for me). If she gets sick or spends the night with someone we will still use the monitor while we have it, but we overcame a big obstacle this weekend.

Next step is getting her transitioned to a toddler bed...
