toddler on oxygen?

Any one have experience with this? DD has been sick all week and after a chest x ray today she was diagnosed with pneumonia and put on oxygen. Does anyone have any advice? I am afraid she will wrap it around herself while sleeping or alternately yank it out during the night. I am also worried that I will have to fight her to keep it in. Also, any idea how much the tanks cost? Her doctor gave us one today while we wait for others to get delivered. Thank you, and of course tpj would be appreciated.

Re: toddler on oxygen?

  • O was hospitalized for pneumonia at 2.5.  He screamed and tried to yank it off for a couple of hours and then kind of relented.  I had to hold his arms that whole time while he screamed (it sucked) Once he got over the fit he was pitching, he left it alone. I slept with him at the hospital and he didn't move much, so I wasn't worried about him getting tangled up in it.  He sleeps pretty soundly, though.  I guess I'd just check on her to make sure she's not getting it off.

    No idea how much the tanks cost.

    Hope she's better soon!

  • no idea but lots of tpj!

  • Lurker from the bump here....I am surprised they sent her home on O2. At our clinic if a kiddo is sick enough to need O2 they would not get sent home and would be hospitalized. I'm not necessarily saying it is the wrong thing to do it just seems sort of odd, especially since she is so young. Usually insurance pays for the O2, not sure how much it would be if you have mo insurance or if you have to meet your deductible first. Anyway, sorry for butting in but I found it sort of odd. I hope your DD feels better soon!

  • Poor little M, I hope she's better soon! E was on O after birth at home, but he couldn't really do anything to get wrapped in it & I don't recall the cost (it wasn't terribly expensive though).

  • I don't have much advice - both DS1 & DS3 were on oxygen, but in the hospital.  I hope she's doing better now though.
