Sadbh slept better than expected and only woke up a few times
during the night. She awoke at 1 and again around 4. She was so cuddly and at
one point she reached over to me and grabbed my hand.
When she finally woke up at 7 she was full of giggles and both
she and Katie had a great time.
Sadbh joined Granddad for a big breakfast and afterwards they
headed out into the garden for a walk through the wet grass and to check on her
harvest of tomatoes.
Sadbh’s nurse Caity was working today and Sadbh was excited to
see her.
Ali-Baba popped in for a visit so the fun and games continued
with Sadbh as the center of attention.
Eventually all the excitement got the best of her and it was
time for a nap and trach care.
Sadbh had another long sleep and was good and rested when she
woke up.
The rain cleared up so Nana and Caity brought Sadbh out for a
long walk up to Madrona. Sadbh was delighted to be out and about and was very
relaxed hanging out in her stroller. It was obviously too cold for her so she
had no interest in walking.
I arrived home moments before Sadbh did and she had the biggest
smile on her face when she walked into the house.
We had so much fun playing hide and seek and Sadbh could not
stop laughing.
Clodagh, Cormac and their parents came by for dinner this
evening and Sadbh was so happy when they walked through the door. She had not
seen them in such a long time so she was shy for the first few minutes. Soon
they were all have a great time playing together and sharing her toys.
Our next-door neighbor Pat popped in to say hi and Sadbh blew
him a big kiss just before he left. It was very cute and Pat was taken aback.
We capped her trach again tonight and she did great for a few
minutes. I think she was too tired and eventually started to pull it off. What
was amazing was that she then grabbed her Passy Muir Valve and popped it onto
her trach. However, this became a new game for her as she kept popping it on
and pulling it off.
Tomorrow we plan to try to cap her for longer and more often
throughout the day in the hope that she simply gets used to it.
Sadbh, Cormac and Clodagh had a great evening together and
stayed up way past their bed times.
We had to fight to get Sadbh cleaned up and her teeth brushed,
but once she lay down in Katie’s arms, she dropped off to sleep in no time.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
