After a breakfast snack, a dry nappy and a few playful snuggles, Sadbh was back to sleep. She woke again at 8:45am. Molly was after arriving and Sadbh was excited to see that her playmate was there.
After breakfast number 2, Molly and Grandad picked out Sadbh’s cute outfit for the day. Then it was time for more food! This time, oatmeal & bananas… Yum! Sadbh’s favorite!
Ali Baba came over later in the morning and she and Molly managed trach care. Then, after only a short, 45 min nap, Sadbh woke up hungry again. A three-course meal from the 5 star “Green Spoon” restaurant and Sadbh was in her glory.
Sadbh misses her Daddy so much and was delighted to see him in the computer on Skype. She It took her a little while to figure out what he was doing in there, but after he started making his silly noises and faces, she was overwhelmed with excitement.
Then it was time for a walk around the neighborhood. It was a beautiful day. The sun was out, but the air was cold so Grandad, Molly and Sadbh bundled up and off they went. Down Marion, across Martin Luther King Ave and over to Nora’s Wood; they carried on up the hill to Madrona and found a nice spot to look at the view of Lake Washington. Then they had a coffee in the cupcake shop.
By that time, Sadbh was tuckered again and she decided it would be good to take a snooze. She slept on until 5:15pm and then waited for Mommy to get home around 5:45pm.
Shortly thereafter, a new nurse who is going to start working with Sadbh next week came by to meet Sadbh. It was great fun to play with a new person and Sadbh impressed her with her baby signs and smiles.
Then it was dinnertime - squash, apricots and for the first time Orzo pasta. We don’t have a night nurse tonight so Grandad moved all the equipment upstairs by himself. Then he helped Katie get Sadbh settled in and ready for sleep.
Sadbh is so lucky to have such a wonderful and special Grandad. We are thankful every day for everything that Gerry does and that Sadbh gets to spend so much special time with him.
