New pulmonary fibrosis post COVID: Preparing for vitual follow-up

Hello, When they sent your daughter home with oxygen, did they also send an oximeter to keep an eye on her oxygen levels? Or does she have home nursing visits set up? If so, as long as there are no new problems, she should be okay to watch and wait. If not, she (or you if you are her caregiver) may want to contact her doctor to set it up. If she doesn't have a primary doctor, you could try social services at the hospital for help.

she has the pulse oximeter. but she's afraid to use it now that she's home as that's when she saw it at 83% and then went to hosp. I was able to set up a telephone visit at mayo this Thurs!!! and I spoke to a local retired pulmonologist who gave me great info and wisdom. I'm 2000 miles from my daughter. while she was in hosp we facetimed pretty much 24/7. she was so anxious with good reason. thanks so much for ur reply. nice to know I'm not alone... she's still on daily steroid so that gives her blinded energy. she actually walked up their stairs last nite with her husband's assist.
