Sadbh had a fantastic nights sleep and didn’t wake up until for food until 5:30am.
She did wake up with a coughing fit around 3am, however our nurse was able to suction her trach and got her back to sleep immediately.
We have been lucky to have the services of this particular nurse a few times since Sadbh has been home, however since she has a full time job at Children’s, we only get to see her once every couple of months.
Once Sadbh was awake, she was full of beans and had a huge smile on her face. According to the nurse, it sounded like Sadbh was full of beans throughout the night also, and was tooting non-stop for a while.
We were having issues with the battery charge on the oximeter over the past few days, and fortunately we received a replacement from the medical supply company last night. This allowed my father and the day nurse the opportunity to take Sadbh on a nice long walk today.
Sadbh was bundled up nice and snug in her hedgehog hat, warm jacket, and her new stroller fleece sleeping sack.
By the time I got home from work, Sadbh was waiting for me in her Grandfather’s arms by the back door and gave me the biggest smile ever.
After I had washed up, it was playtime on the couch for a while, until she was tired enough for us to start trach care.
Trach care went by quite easily as she hadn’t really slept since 11am, and by now it was 5pm, so it didn’t take long for her to fall into a deep sleep,
As soon as we were done with trach care, she decided that she had enough sleep and wanted to play some more. As soon as Katie arrived home, it was time for dinner.
Later, while we had our dinner, Sadbh bounced around in her brand new jump up seat and she was really enjoying herself.
We have another good nurse working tonight, so hopefully Sadbh will sleep well again.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
