Considering that Sadbh did not have a
nurse last night, she had a great night sleep and only woke up a couple of
times. Each time she fell back to sleep after being comforted by Katie and on
the second occasion she joined us in bed for the rest of the night.
Around 6am, I woke up to Sadbh
kicking me in the back, even though she was still fast asleep.
Thankfully we all got to sleep in
until 8am and Sadbh was full of smiles, kisses and hugs.
Breakfast was spent eating and catching
up on her baby signing time DVD.
Today she was learning the signs for
different feelings. She really enjoys her DVD’s and picks up on new signs every
day.
Katie’s father was staying with us
and got to hang out with Sadbh for the morning.
After a few hours of serious fun,
Sadbh started to get tired so it was time to start preparations for trach care.
She had a fun time splashing in her
bath and when it came time to get dried and put on her pajamas, she was out
like a light.
Trach care was very straight-forward,
however her neck is very raw in places. You could tell that it causes her a lot
of discomfort as she got fussy when I removed the medical tape that was
covering her sores. I cannot wait for the day when she does not have to have a
trach so her neck can heal up and not be so irritated.
That said, I could not imagine how
her neck would be if we did not care for it as well as we do every day. I’m
sure she would have some serious infections and discomfort.
Sadbh ended up having a nice long nap
and well rested when it came time for her play date with Conor O’Brien.
In fact, we were about an hour late
due to the timing fro trach care and Sadbh’s nap.
Sadbh was very excited when she met
Conor and instantly they both hit it off. There were hugs and Conor was quick
to share his toys with Sadbh. Conor even got to show off his battery-powered
car. Sadbh got to take a spin in it, but I think she was freaked out and had
enough after a few minutes.
Eventually Sadbh started to get very
tired so we set off for home expecting her to fall asleep as soon as she got
into the car. This wasn’t the case and she ended up not taking her second nap
of the day.
Once we arrived home it was time for
dinner. Sadbh had a lot of fun with her food and ended up with half her food on
her face or on the floor.
When it came time for bed, she
noticed three of her binkies on the dresser above her bed and despite already
having a binky in her mouth, she had to have all of them.
Before we knew it, she had a binky
placed over each of her eyes and one in her mouth with the last one in her hand
since she did not have anywhere to put it. It was hilarious.
She had no problem going to bed
considering it was almost an hour and a half past her usual bedtime.
It was a fantastic day spent with
family and good friends.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
