"Because of our Dream Sock I was able to know my child needed emergency care."

"When my baby was a few weeks old, he caught a cold. He wasn’t showing signs of labored breathing but was congested so I put our Dream Sock on him just in case. His oxygen was staying in the 80s! I took him to the ER and the hospital confirmed our Owlet reading from home with their pulse ox and he was immediately placed on oxygen, diagnosed with RSV, and transferred to a PICU where we stayed for two more days. When we got home we put his Dream Sock back on him for peace of mind as he finished fully recovering.

Because of our Dream Sock I was able to know my child needed emergency care before his outward symptoms became obvious and felt more confident when we returned home!" - Rebecca P.
