Sadbh slept like a rock last night and did not budge. Her heart
rate and blood oxygen level were good all night and she did not wake up until
6:40.
She was a little off when she woke up and did not have much of
an appetite.
Her mood improved after she got a chance to get out into the
garden and she was very content playing in the sunshine.
Around 10:30 it was time to head out for a walk with her nurses
Caity and a new nurse, Heather, who was job shadowing today.
A couple of hours later Sadbh was ready for her nap and trach
care. Just before she had her bath they capped her trach and she did great for
almost 7 minutes before she had enough.
During trach care, Heather got to watch as Granddad and Caity
cleaned.
Thankfully everything went well Sadbh slept soundly for a couple
of hours.
Sadbh had a fun evening and was in a very playful mood. We tried
capping her trach and this time she lasted 22 minutes before she got fussy.
Katie was late arriving home and Sadbh really missed her. She
arrived just before bedtime and Sadbh was ecstatic when she heard the car
coming down the driveway.
Both Sadbh and Katie got a chance to play for a short while and
then got a big snuggle in when it came time for Sadbh to go to bed. It was a
nice ending to Sadbh’s day and it did not take long for her to fall asleep.
We were going to cap her trach tonight after she fell asleep
however we decided not to since she has a couple of teeth coming in and her
trach was very goopy with secretions as a result of her drooling.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
