Sadbh had a rough night and joined us in bed around 11:30 last
night. She was so unhappy and restless and it seemed that it might be the
result of some new teeth coming in.
Whatever it was certainly took its toll on her as she was the
last one to wake up.
Despite all the sounds coming from her friends next door in the
dining room, Sadbh slept in until 8:30.
Our check out was at 10am, so it was a mad dash to get Sadbh fed
and all her equipment boxed up and loaded into the car.
I had started working on this last night and resumed it again
around 7am.
Her medical supplies take up so much room, but I was glad once
we got everything loaded up.
After checking out, we all headed into Chelan for a coffee and a
walk around the park.
Sadbh had a great time walking hand in hand with Dylan.
Thankfully Cormac was fast asleep in his stroller and did not notice his little
lady flirting with another little man.
Things got very exciting when all of a sudden the kids were
surrounded by a flock of ducks. Sadbh, being very brave, decided that she
wanted to get as close as possible. Thankfully there was always an adult right
there to make sure that none of the kids were in any harm.
After we were done with the ducks and the park, it was off to
one of the local wineries for lunch.
All the kids got to stuff their faces on healthy snacks and
Sadbh took a liking to berry cream cheese. So much so that she had it smeared
all across her face.
Once lunch was over it was time to hit the road for the long
drive back to Seattle.
Sadbh fell asleep as soon as she was buckled into her car seat
and slept soundly for the first hour. The next hour and a half wasn’t so much
fun as she was really fussy.
Katie worked all her magic and by the time we reached Snoqualmie
Pass, Sadbh was in a much better mood.
We pulled in so Sadbh could stretch her legs and she was beside
herself with excitement. In the distance she could see all the trucks and cars
whizzing by on I-90.
Whenever the occasional motorcycle would go by she would
immediately make the sign for motorcycle.
The rest of the journey home was good and she was very happy
when we pulled up to the house.
Since we did not have a chance to manage trach care earlier we
had to wait until she was ready for bed.
She got extremely cranky just around 7pm so after some failed
attempts to cheer her up it was decided that it would be best to draw her a
bath and start the proceedings.
Everything worked out very well and Sadbh was sound asleep in no
time.
Doing trach care so late in the day is hard since both Katie and
I were extremely tired after such a long day and neither one of us had eaten
yet.
All in all it was another great day and Sadbh got to spend the
first half of it with all her friends.
It’s going to be strange for her to wake up tomorrow and not have
any of her friends here to play with.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
