Sadbh spent Thursday night sleeping with us upstairs and needed suctioning throughout the night. She slept well, however she did have coughing fits on a regular basis and this kept both Katie and myself up right through the night.
After her morning breakfast, Sadbh started another coughing fit and Katie ended up suctioning another big mucus plug out of her trach.
What’s interesting is that none of this seems to bother Sadbh, and we are lucky that we have her hooked up to the oximeter so we can keep an eye on her blood oxygen level and heart rate.
Later in the morning, Sadbh got to chat with Ali-Baba on the phone. Katie’s mum has been sick all week, so she has not had an opportunity to come visit for fear of making Sadbh sick.
As soon as she’s better, she’s going to have some catching up to do.
Trach care got stressful for Katie and my father today since Sadbh woke up half way through it and was hungry for a feeding.
You certainly do not want to end up with a very fussy baby when her trach ties are not on and with her trach barely being held in place.
Katie and my father persevered on and got the job done.
Later in the day, we had our good friend Orla over for dinner and she got to spend some quality time hanging out with Sadbh.
Sadbh had a fantastic evening playing and hanging out with Orla, but by the time 7:30 came around, she was exhausted and ready for bed.
Saturday is going to be busy and very stressful as we have to change out her trach.
Have a great weekend,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
