Sadbh had a fantastic night sleep and was able to stretch out comfortably across her wedge.
As she slept, she held a binky in each hand, and every so often she would switch between the two. At one stage, she placed one of the binky’s inside the one that was already in her mouth.
She finally woke up at 6:20am, and quickly had breakfast. Usually she falls back to sleep straight away, but this morning she fought hard and it took Katie two hours of comforting her before she finally fell asleep.
She did not sleep for long, and 30 minutes later she was standing up in her cot laughing at Granddad when he ran into the room to make sure she was ok.
After another quick breakfast, it was time to Skype with my mum and brother back home in Cork. Sadbh had a great time and could not stop laughing at my brother Ger. Both he and I look alike, so I’m sure Sadbh wasn’t sure who she was talking to.
It was a very sunny day, and Sadbh had a great time playing with Granddad.
As she was starting to get tired, Ali-Baba stopped by to give Sadbh a nice warm bath and help with trach care.
She had a great sleep and woke up very happy and ready for her bottle.
By the time I arrived home, she was still full of energy and met me at the back door with a huge smile. Regardless of how my day is, I always look forward to coming home to Sadbh, and it is even more special when she is there to greet me when I arrive.
It was an evening of playing and having fun, and when it came to nap time, Sadbh was not having any of it. She fought hard, but eventually she fell asleep and I loosened up her swaddle.
Almost 30 minutes later, she was awake and it was perfect timing as Katie had just arrived home from work.
Right now, all Sadbh wants to do is walk around the house. She either cruises along the furniture, or grabs someone’s hands and forces them to walk her around.
She settled down quite easily tonight when it came time for bed, and within no time, she was sprawled across her wedge.
She could not have been comfortable, so we removed the wedge from her cot and most of her stuffed animals.
Hopefully she will get used to sleeping without her wedge and that it will not cause any problems with her trach, or mist collar.
Take care,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
