So far, just enough: To have close monitoring by her pediatrician. That is in the above 90% range but checking for other sign and progress is the correct action to take. I hope everything else seems okay so that this can be explained and/or addressed easily. Don't worry - just have a good full exam done. Best wishes to you and yours!
