We ran Evan's pulse oximeter test last night. We couldn't get a steady good reading on it trying both his foot and his hand. We ended up leaving it on his foot and wrapped it on there tight to try to get the highest reading possible. We had to leave it on for at least 4 hours. I ended up taking it off around 4am, so there was at least 6 hours of testing. The best reading we could get was around 94%.
I returned the pulse oximeter to Apria and the nurse said the doctor would be in touch if they needed us to do another test to get a better reading. She told me the doctors like to see readings in the higher 90's, so we'll wait and see.
