Hello and welcome to the forum.

I am terribly sorry to hear about the difficulties you are struggling with.  Unfortunately, because this is an adult pulmonary hypertension forum, I am unable to provide you with an specific medical advice.

If she requires oxygen, doesnt she have a lung doctor whose office you can contact about this?

If you would prefer to post on one of these forums, I suggest you post in a pediatric pulmonolofy forum where the physicians there should be better suited to help you.

Wishing you the best,

Dr. Rich
