Sadbh had another tough nights sleep on Friday, however she joined us in bed around 5am and slept quite well from then on.
We had a busy day planned, so Katie and my father managed trach care earlier in the morning allowing us to free up the rest of the day to get things accomplished.
After Sadbh woke up from her nap, Katie secretly video recorded me on the baby monitor as I went to get Sadbh up and ready.
Peggy and Kirk came over with a Christmas tree ornament for Sadbh. At the same time, we received a package from Katie’s aunt Kathie in California, and it contained a delicate little bird ornament.
Sadbh loved it, and wanted to put it into her mouth, so we figured it would be best just to place it on the tree.
Just before Peggy and Kirk left, they sang the Hoki Poki for Sadbh, much to her amusement, and the amusement of the rest of us.
Later in the evening, we headed over to Greenlake to check out the Green Lake Pathway of Lights celebration. Unfortunately parking was hard to find, and since it was cold and damp out, we decided not to participate since we didn’t want Sadbh to get cold.
Afterwards, we meet up with some of the gang for dinner and Sadbh got to spend time with Dylan and Cormac.
Dylan has been walking for a month or so, and Sadbh was clearly impressed.
It got stressful a few times during dinner as Sadbh needed to be suctioned repeatedly, and her oximeter battery wouldn’t hold it’s charge, so we couldn’t see where her blood oxygen level was at.
Everything worked out fine, but it certainly makes dinner a little bit more exciting than usual.
By the time she arrived home, she was exhausted and was ready for bed.
A perfect ending to a perfect day, and not a bad way to spend her 8 month birthday!
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
