Happy Lungs

When Miss V was hospitalized, although she never needed to be intubated, there was a time when it seemed that she might be coming home on some oxygen. At the very last second, she passed her oximetry and was able to go home tube free so to speak.

She has a diagnosis of moderate bronchopulmonary dysplasia which will likely continue to follow her for a few years yet. The great lock down will happen again next fall and winter, we will continue to dust twice weekly and run our HEPA filter, she can never EVER (!!!) smoke and may yet develop asthma... But today we received good news:

Miss V's chest xray is normal and we no longer have to be followed in the respiratory clinic. So excuse me while I go ahead and savour that for a bit :)
