Today Ariana's ventilator was changed to one called an oscillator. She has not been able to keep her oxygen levels up, which we thought after the heart murmur was taken care of, she would have better oxygen levels. The oscillator pumps about 600 puffs a minute, where the ventilator did 6 per minute.
So today I will walk in to see her shake on her bed while on the oscillator because of the amount of puffs, it makes them shake. But the nurse assured me that she wasn't taken steps back, it was just a different type of ventilator to help her keep her oxygen levels up.
