Sadbh had a great night sleep, and even though she was moving all over her cot, she did not require any attention or even suctioning. It made for an uneventful night for Larissa.
Sadbh finally woke up at 5:15am and she got a few minutes of playtime in with Larissa before Katie came down stairs.
Breakfast was served, and shortly after Larissa’s shift ended, Sadbh was back to bed and in a deep sleep.
Today was the first day for our new nurse Destiny and Sadbh had a ball. Destiny works at Children’s and had looked after Sadbh when she was in recovery after being in the NICU and after receiving her trach.
Unfortunately for Destiny, and all our other nurses from Children’s, the nursing agency has some of the tightest requirements when signing up, so it took forever to be qualified to look after Sadbh.
Ali-Baba came over for her daily dose of Sadbh, and to also help Granddad with trach care.
Just as my father was securing Sadbh’s trach ties, she woke up, making it a little bit more stressful than usual to finish things off.
The sun came out later in the afternoon, so my father and the Destiny bundled Sadbh up and headed out for walk. Shortly afterwards, the weather changed and they got pounded with rain, hail and snow. Thankfully they were not far from the house, so it was a mad dash home.
Sadbh was fully of energy when I got home from work, however she had not slept much throughout the day, so after a quick feed, I changed her into her bed clothes and as soon as she was comfortable in her cot, she fell asleep.
She did great for about 20 minutes, but woke up crying hard. I unhooked all her equipment, put a nose on her trach, and rocked her to sleep in my arms. We were both so comfortable I ended up falling asleep for almost 30 minutes.
We both woke up when Katie returned home from work, and it was suddenly play time.
Sadbh had a great evening and was ready for bed with the time came.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
