I will say an extra to St. Philomena and St. John Neumann (who has become one of my favorite go to saints for kids with medical problems (not John Henry Neumann) for Tessie's current problems. http://www.stjohnneumann.org/miracles.html <br /><br />http://www.tulsaworld.com/archives/miracles-still-happen-thanks-to-st-john-neumann/article_7a680e99-57f2-586f-b453-783538cd4daa.html<br /><br />Hopefully the docs have a way that you can put the oxygen on her and she won't tug it off at night. <br /><br />Just from my own experience: I was taking care of my elderly mom and she developed sleep apnea due to a stroke. Finally the doctor prescribed an oxygen concentrator, and although she never liked sleeping with the nasal oxygen cannula, the results were remarkable. The apnea basically stopped, since the oxygen constantly was entering her nasal passages. She did not need the CPAP. She was much better even during the day, and we finally felt confident her oxygen levels were good (95+) all the time, even while sleeping (which at times had dropped into the 80's). We got one of those inexpensive fingertip battery operated pulse oximeters (about $17 at Walmart) to periodically check her oxygen. (Would test on ourselves just to make sure it was working right! :-))<br /><br />Hopefully this will all resolve itself. Your seeking help for her just shows how your years of experience as a mom come into play; to notice something not "normal" and check it out and ignore what would worry a newbie mom. <br /><br />God bless you. ~ BonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-8692222504415006922017-01-17T11:07:44.106-05:002017-01-17T11:07:44.106-05:00Well I will keep praying for your family.
