Sadbh had a wonderful night sleep, but woke up at 1:36am crying and in some discomfort. Larissa was quick to respond by turning Sadbh on her side, and pushed her legs up to help relieve whatever was causing her pain.
With that, Sadbh let out a huge fart, and by 1:40am, she was fast asleep in complete comfort.
She slept soundly until 6:20, and as soon as Katie had fed her, she was back to sleep for another hour or so.
We were scheduled to have a new nurse start today, however since the nursing agency had technical difficulties with their online training certification modules, she had to postpone until the agency can repair their site.
It’s quite frustrating that this nurse is highly trained, and certified to work at Children’s Hospital, yet the nursing agency requires extra certification to prove that they are eligible to work.
Since we did not have nurse care again today, Ali-Baba came by to help out and play with Sadbh.
It was almost noon and time for a nice bath. Sadbh loves her baths and it puts her in such a relaxed state.
Trach care went well, and Sadbh slept for almost an hour and a half afterwards.
She woke up in a very happy mood and was ready for a big feed.
As soon as she was done eating, it was time to bundle up and head out for a walk in the sunshine, up to Capitol Hill.
Sadbh was in her element outside and very keen to sit up and check everything out.
I arrived home a little later than usual, and a few moments later, here comes Sadbh up the driveway with Granddad.
After a quick snuggle, it was time for a nap. She fought it hard and just when I was about to give up and feed her, she started to fall asleep. Granddad had taken over comforting her, and since she had been crying so much, I had to suction her trach.
Apparently the loud noise of her suction machine provided her with some comfort, and she drifted off for a 45-minute sleep.
She was a little bit cranky when she woke up, but after a little bit of horsing around, she was full of smiles and happy again.
She had a great evening playing with both Katie and myself, and when it came to dinner, she had worked up quite the appetite.
When it came time for bed, she was ready, however she was also quite giddy and playful.
As soon as she was bundled up, it did not take long for her to drift off.
We are starting to wean her from being swaddled, so we are swaddling her loosely, allowing her the freedom to get her arm out. Last night, and again tonight, moments after falling asleep, she can be found lying there with her arms stretched outright and looks extremely cute.
Take care,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
