It was a restless night sleep for
Sadbh and she had to be suctioned a number of times throughout.
Around 4am, she eventually drifted
off into a nice deep sleep and did not wake until 7ish.
Sadbh, Katie and Nini were due to
drive to Lake Chelan in Eastern Washington to visit Katie’s brother and his
family for a few days. Unfortunately Katie wasn’t feeling well, so they all
decided to stay in town.
I brought Sadbh down for breakfast
this morning and for some reason or other, she was fierce cranky. I started to
make the baby sign for grumpy, and she laughed and made the sign back to me.
She had a nice big breakfast and
watched the next edition of her baby sign DVD.
Later in the morning Sadbh got to
Skype with my parents and brother back in Cork. She was delighted to see them
and showed off some of her latest baby signs.
After we were done Skyping, Sadbh was
starting to get tired so Nini and I started getting her bath and all the
supplies ready for trach care.
She had so much fun in her little tub
that she almost tipped it over a couple of times.
I then read her a book as I dried her
off and once she had her pajamas on, she started to act up. I was sure that I
was going to have a cranky baby to deal with, but she quickly laid her head
into my arms and dropped off to sleep straight away.
Trach care was very easy, and her
neck is starting to look a lot better. Her sores have almost completely
disappeared, but we still had to dress one side of her neck to make sure it
heals fully.
She slept like a log for almost an
hour and a half and was in a much better mood when she woke up.
It was time for a big lunch and some
fun with Katie.
I headed out to run a few errands,
and when I arrived back home shortly after 6, both Katie and Sadbh were fast
asleep in bed. You could tell that they both needed the rest, as they looked
exhausted.
Sadbh woke up at 7 and was slightly
cranky to start off with, but I soon had her rolling around the bed laughing
her head off.
When I was out and about, I had
picked up a little gift for Sadbh and she was delighted to unwrap it when she
made it downstairs.
She was in a fantastic mood and was happy
playing with each of us.
Dinner was messy as Sadbh wanted to
feed herself yogurt. It started off fine, but soon she got bored of using the
spoon and decided that her hands worked better. You would assume that she would
still get plenty of food into her mouth with her hands, but she had no
intention of eating anything at this stage. She was smushing her yogurt
everywhere but her mouth. It was very funny to watch and she had a ball.
The weather in Seattle was very
strange today and the sun did not really come out until this evening when it
was about to set. It was also very windy so the light throughout the
neighborhood was very surreal. We took Sadbh out into the back yard and the
colors and shades were fascinating.
Our new garden is starting to get
long and after an evening shower, Sadbh loved walking barefoot through the
grass.
Bedtime was late tonight and
thankfully Sadbh had no problem going to sleep. Since Katie was still not
feeling great, both ladies went to sleep at the same time.
Hopefully Sadbh will have a much
better night sleep tonight, and hopefully Katie will feel much better tomorrow.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
