@susie333 I can hear the concern for your daughter in this post. You said she was sent home on 3L. Can you clarify?
I am sure her elevated heartrate is of serious concern for you all. What guidance was given to her upon discharge other than to do a follow-up with a Pulmonologist at the end of the month?

Yes it was 3L.. She checks in with her PCP weekly until she has her first visit with local pulmonologist (Jan 31). The PCP has been guiding her in trying the weaning. He seems concerned of higher heart rate, but my daughter’s PO with 02 even at 1.5Lis 98%…… so she tries to go without but her heart rate continues in the 100s with or without 02. So I presume she she stay at at least 1.5L til her heart rate goes down, even with hi PO? I encouraged her to contact her PCP today for better understanding/clarification. Thanks for checking in!
