Sadbh slept through the night and did not wake until I brought
her up to bed at 6am after the night nurse left.
She was in such a playful mood and did not want to go back to
sleep. I brought her back downstairs for breakfast so Katie could sleep in for
a while longer.
She had a big breakfast and both of us got to catch up on her
Signing Time DVD.
After a couple of hours of playing, Sadbh wanted to head back
upstairs to see Katie. The radio was on in the bathroom and our local college
radio station was playing its usual Saturday morning reggae program. Sadbh was
in her element and could not stop dancing. She even figured out how to turn the
volume up full blast and kept dancing.
It was precious.
Sadbh’s monthly trach change was scheduled for today so we made
sure that she was good and tired when it came time for her nap. She really
enjoyed her bath and it was a struggle to get her out. When she finally fell
dozed off she fell into a deep sleep allowing us to manage trach care and the
actual trach change without any problems. Even though it is usually a very
stressful procedure, today’s trach change worked out very well.
Sadbh woke up as soon as we placed her in her cot so we prepared
her lunch and afterwards we all headed off up to Capitol Hill for a walk.
It was a lovely day and Sadbh was very happy to be out and
about.
We bumped into Sadbh’s friend Conor and his father Martin and
got to hear all about Conor’s one-week-old sister, Aibhin.
Sadbh was fast asleep in her stroller by the time we were half
way home and since it was not quite her bedtime we had a tough time getting her
prepared for bed. Once she woke up she was full of smiles and we even got a few
nice cuddles from her.
It was a very good day and Sadbh had a lot of fun.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
