Sadbh had a great nights sleep and slept right through until almost 6am.
Our night nurse said that she had a very comfortable night and only needed to be suctioned a couple of times.
We have been working on teaching Sadbh baby sign, and according to our nurse, Sadbh gave her the “I’m done” sign when she was being suctioned in the morning.
As I headed out to work, I gave Sadbh a kiss good bye and for the first time, she actually pursed her lips and made the kissing sound.
It was so cute and it made my whole day.
Trach care was much later today since I arrived home about an hour later than usual.
Sadbh was quite happy when I got home, and shortly afterwards we gave her a bath and started trach care.
Since she was so tired, we were able to take care of business without any issues.
Sadbh slept for almost an hour and once she woke up, it was dinnertime and then tummy time.
She showed us how good she is at rolling and in crawling backwards.
Around bedtime, we tried out her Passy Muir Valve to see how she would hold up and immediately it was obvious that it wouldn’t work.
We then tried the Passy Muir Valve with the 2 millimeter hole and this was an improvement.
The interesting thing about this PMV with the hole is that, since the hole is so big, it doesn’t seem to provide any developmental benefit.
I think we will need to get another PMV with a smaller hole from our respiratory therapist to help with this development.
Take care,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
