Sadbh slept right through the night, however she was tossing and
turning all night.
According to Audrey Sadbh was kicking like crazy most of the
night, however, her heart rate was in it’s usual in it’s usual relaxed level.
She awoke at 5:20 and played with Audrey for awhile before Katie
came downstairs. She even watched
a little bit of Signing Times with Audrey. She was back to sleep by 6:30 and slept through until 8:30.
By then she was in an excellent mood and was delighted to see
Nini.
Our friend Andrew came by again this morning and Sadbh was very
happy to see him.
We did not have a nurse working today so Nini was flying solo
for the day. It gave both ladies a great opportunity to catch up and have as
much fun playing as possible.
It was a wet and cold morning so Sadbh and Nini stayed indoors
but made the most of it by chasing each other around the house.
Since Nini was minding Sadbh alone today, we decided that trach
care would be managed when Sadbh went to bed this evening.
When it came time for Sadbh’s nap she was confused when she was
placed in bed without having her bath. She kept making the sign for bath.
She slept like a log for over two hours and woke up in a great
mood.
The fun and games continued after lunch and later it was time to
go for a stroll when the sun came out.
Unfortunately it was short lived since it started to rain, so
Nini ran home as quickly as possible so Sadbh would not get wet, much to
Sadbh’s enjoyment.
I arrived home just as Sadbh and Nini did and helped get all of
Sadbh’s equipment into the house.
Sadbh was still full of energy and could not stop playing with
her new toy dog.
When it came time for bed, Sadbh was very tired but she had no
intention on going to sleep. I fought hard for almost an hour to get her
comfortable and calmed down, and moments after she dozed off she woke up again.
Katie took over and after 30 minutes or so she finally fell asleep.
Trach care was very stressful as Sadbh was extremely restless
and kept moving and twisting from side to side. Her trach was close to popping
out a few times and Katie did a fantastic job keeping it in place.
This is the last thing you want to deal with at the end of a
long day.
Unfortunately, we only have a couple of days covered by nurses
over the next three weeks since Nadia is on vacation and since Nini is heading
back to Germany over the weekend.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
