update

Quick up date... I am off oxygen, they are going to observe me for a couple hours staying in bed.. then I have to get up and walk and see what my O2's do... When they took me off oxygen my O2's were at 96, an 1/2 hour later they are at 92 which is still ok.. if they maintain that I'll be good to go.. if they drop they will either keep me one more night or send me home on oxygen. It will depend on how bad they drop.. They took me off the injection of prednisone and I am now on the pills, so that could be a determining factor in my O2's also... so we'll see... I'll update this tread when I know more... Debby

good luck. I was just reading the post of your weekend ordeal. I hope you get to leave.

I'm going home.. paperwork is getting prepared and then I will have Spark come get me... YEAH Thanks for the well wishes all... Debby

Glad the sats are stabilizing. Jeepers... I am still freaked out at how low they went.

I was too!!! When I was diagnosed with asthma 16 years ago.. my O2 was 67 YES 67!!! With a few lapses of judgement and smoking I always kept it under control.. This really scared me because they were concerned about the damage it was doing to my heart... So needless to say when both boys are deployed I wont pick up the smokes.. zanax will be my friend.. I feel a lot better now. Lungs a bit tight but I Just checked my O2's and after cleaning the kitchen it was at 92 so we are still good... Debby

Hope you feel better soon!!!!
