Sadbh’s night started off quite restless and her heart rate dropped numerous times causing the oximeter to alarm each time.
Eventually she settled in and slept fairly peacefully until she woke up for breakfast at 5:30.
At one stage through the night, the nurse had to suction Sadbh’s trach and she pulled out a huge mucus plug that was larger than anything that she had seen.
Our current day nurse in away on vacation, and we were fortunate to get one of our nurses from the summer to cover her shift this week.
It was great to see her again, and she was seriously impressed with how Sadbh had grown and developed since she last seen her in August.
As soon as I walked in the door from work this evening, I was greeted with the biggest smile and for the next hour or so, Sadbh was bouncing in my arms with shear excitement.
When it came time for trach care, she was so exhausted that she fell into a nice deep sleep and this allowed us to manage trach care quite effortlessly.
Shortly after Katie arrived home, Sadbh was just waking up and despite being quite sleepy, you could tell that she wanted to get out of her cot and into her mommy’s arms as quickly as possible.
Take care,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
