Sadbh woke up at 10pm and did not want to go back to sleep.
She was thirsty for water and after she was asked if she was
hungry she replied with “yeah!”.
She had no intention of going back to sleep so we sat up and watched
a little Sesame Street for a while.
By midnight and after a humongous poop, her eyes were starting
to get heavy so we all headed up to bed.
She drifted off into a deep sleep and slept well until 6am.
Katie did have to suction Sadbh’s trach around 2:30am, but other
than that Sadbh slept well. When she woke up at 6 she joined us in bed and
slept until 9:30.
After breakfast, the fun and games started and Sadbh had a great
morning.
Trach care was much later today than usual since Sadbh slept in
so late.
She was getting tired but we decided to head down the street to
a local Christmas tree seller to get our Christmas tree. Sadbh was delighted to
be out of the house and in the sunshine. She was fascinated with all the trees
and couldn’t believe her eyes when we started off walking home carrying one of
the trees.
After arriving home and getting the tree into position it was
then time for Sadbh’s bath and trach care. She could not stop saying “tree” and
was walking around the house with a huge smile on her face and making the sign
for tree.
It did not take long to get her to sleep and once she was out
trach care was quick and easy. She slept for over two hours and as soon as she
woke up she could not wait to get into the living room to check out the tree.
Her evening was full of excitement and after dinner she had
chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. She couldn’t get enough and by the
time she was done she had more dessert on her hands and face than she did in her
belly.
After dinner it was time to get back to work on the tree and Sadbh
was very helpful. We did learn very quickly to keep the fragile ornaments up
high and out of Sadbh’s reach. This was a result of Sadbh reaching up and
grabbing a glass snowman and chucking it into the corner.
Sadbh was in a great mood when it came time for bed. She gave
everyone a big hug and a kiss before going to sleep.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
