Sadbh had a decent night sleep and joined us at some stage
between midnight and 6am. At times we are so tired that it’s all a blur and it's hard to know how often and when she gets fussy or needs suctioning.
When she woke at 6, we thought that she was up for the day,
however after clearing her trach and changing her nappy,
she dropped back to sleep until 8. I couldn’t believe that she allowed us to
sleep in as long as she did.
Our wake up call came with the usual tapping on the shoulder and
Sadbh was full of smiles and giggles.
She was in a fantastic mood and was very eager to start the day.
Since she had slept in longer than usual, Sadbh had a huge
appetite. Breakfast was devoured in no time and she even got a chance to catch
up on her Baby Signing Times DVD.
It was a very wet day so Sadbh ended up staying indoors for all
of it. She did not mind as she has so many fun toys to play with.
It was a very busy morning around the house and Granddad and
Nana were very helpful looking after and playing with Sadbh.
She was awake for longer than usual so when it came time for
trach care she was exhausted and slept like a log. She slept solid for an hour
and a half and woke up in a very happy mood.
She wore her Passy Muir Valve for most of the day today and she
was chatting up a storm. She even learned how to say Katie and Wayne today. Initially
I figured that my child would address us as mummy and daddy, however when I heard
Sadbh say Katie and Wayne I figured that it would not be a problem what she
called us as long as it wasn’t something bad.
This evening we all headed over to visit Ali-Baba and Kirk. As
soon as we arrived Sadbh got to dig into a large box of toys that Ali-Baba
keeps for her. She found a train set that yours truly got to set up. She
quickly figured out how to get the train running and had so much fun with it.
Later in the evening she joined in on a game of rummy and
impressed everyone by being able to stick all the pins into the holes on the
board.
She had a fun evening and by the time she was ready to head home
you could tell that she was exhausted. She was still in a great mood and full
of smiles, but as soon as she was secured into her car seat she dropped off to
sleep very quickly.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
