Katie awoke just around 5am to Sadbh standing right next to her
in her cot. Sadbh started laughing soon as Katie opened her eyes and within a
few moments she was cuddled up between both of us.
We had an early start to the day since we were meeting with our
friends Sarah and Will for Sarah’s baby shower. Sadbh was in luck as she got to
hang out with her friend Conor.
She had a huge appetite and got to eat so much fruit, potatoes,
eggs, bacon and cereal. She couldn’t get enough bacon.
She had a great morning and as soon as we arrived home she was
ready for a bath and trach care. She really enjoyed her bath but it took some
serious convincing to get her to sleep.
Trach care was very easy as she was in a deep sleep and she
slept for over two hours.
Sadbh got to Skype with her uncle Ger in Cork after she woke up
from her nap and he was delighted when she said “I love you” to him.
After Skyping we all bundled into the car and headed off out to
a Pumpkin farm in Fall City.
Sadbh was in a fantastic mood and was chatting like crazy for the
entire trip.
Thankfully the weather held out while we were at the farm. Sadbh
got to see a flock of turkeys and was fascinated by them. They were very
fortunate to be housed behind a big fence, as Sadbh would have been in there
with them if she got half the chance.
The farm was very busy and full of pumpkins of all shapes and
sizes. Sadbh had the look of bewilderment on her face and was fascinated with
everything that was going on around her. She had such a tight grip on Katie’s
finger that it almost turned purple.
She did a great job picking out a couple of lovely pumpkins for
Halloween. On our way back to the car Sadbh spotted a donkey so Granddad and
Nana brought her over for a closer look. After being prompted by Granddad,
Sadbh kept saying “Ee-haw”, much to everyone’s amusement.
On the way home we stopped off at Snoqualmie Falls to check out
the waterfall. It was raging and Sadbh was in her element with all the spray in
the air. The weather was about to turn bad so the viewpoint was empty. We were
very lucky as the sky opened up just as we got back into the car.
We tried out her trach cap just as she was getting ready for bed
and despite hearing some strider she did really well for five minutes. She was
very proud of it and showed it off to Granddad and Nana.
It was a very busy and fun day and Sadbh was exhausted when it
came time for bed.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
