The oxygen will help her heart to be stronger. She may need to be on some oxygen when she goes home, but it will be fine. We are all using oxygen all the time (it's in the air we breathe), some of us just need the extra little bit. Did they say why she needed the oxygen or what appened to make her pulse ox drop like that??
