Sadbh slept like a log and
did not budge all night. It must have been a boring night for a change for Julie,
as Sadbh did not even need to be suctioned once.
Julie finished her shift at
6 and Sadbh slept on for another 45 minutes. She woke up very happy and gave me
a big smile as soon as she saw me.
After breakfast she started
to have a coughing fit but thankfully she did not get sick.
We had a fun filled morning
and before we knew it, it was time for her nap and trach care.
It was another wet day so
our plan was to let Sadbh sleep for a while as we prepared all her equipment
and snow clothes, and as soon as we were ready we would put her into the car
and head up to the mountains for a bit of fun in the snow.
Sadbh slept through trach
care but woke up just as Katie and Granddad were finishing up. She was in a
happy mood and after Katie explained what our plan was she could not stop
talking about snowmen.
She was too excited to sleep
in the car and as soon as we arrived at Snoqualmie Pass, Sadbh could not wait
to get out of the car. It was snowing like crazy and she was looking out the
window with a huge smile on her face.
Katie bundled her up good
and proper and handed her out to me while she got ready. Sadbh had this hilarious
look on her face. I sat her up on the top of this snow pile and she just sat
there in complete awe of all the snow around her. Granddad built her a little
snowman and she was delighted with it.
The fun was only starting as
we headed up the hill for some sledding. Sadbh was nervous at first but was
soon asking for more.
She was having a fantastic
time but we could hear that her airway was starting to dry out due to the cold
dry air.
We figured that she would
sleep on the trip home but she was still very excited from all the activity.
Bedtime came earlier than
usual for Sadbh and she was full of hugs and cuddles. I have a scruffy beard
since I haven’t shaved in a few days and Sadbh just sat there and rubbed my
chin for a while. She couldn’t stop laughing and we thought she would never go
to sleep.
She finally gave in and
dozed off into a deep slumber.
Julie is working again
tonight so we are sure that Sadbh will get yet another good night sleep.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
