It looks like Jac is going to going to have to go home on oxygen. I was so hoping we were going to go home with a cord free baby but it looks like it will take a little more time before we achieve that.
The NNP told me that it is very common for little babies here to go home on oxygen given the elevation. She said that when she has worked at sea level that babies are not allowed to go home on oxygen - if they need it they have to stay in the hospital.
We will be given both a large tank version for the house and a portable version for going out - like what you see some older people carry around. They will test to make sure that he is fine when the canulae comes out (which I already know he is - he can go quite a while without it) before we go home.
He will have it probably for at least a month before we go to the pediatricians office and have a room air test to see how he does.
