Sadbh woke up shortly after
midnight and popped her head over the rail of her cot to check out who was
working. As soon as she saw Julie, she smiled and laid down to sleep. Julie
rubbed Sadbh’s back as she fell back to sleep and as soon as she sat back down
Sadbh popped her head back up and smiled.
This happened a couple more
times before Julie gave in and took Sadbh out of her cot. Sadbh really wanted
to hang out for a while so Julie read a few books to keep Sadbh happy.
Eventually Julie was able to get Sadbh back to bed and she slept soundly until
6:30.
Her blood oxygen level was
quite low all night and Sadbh occasionally dipped into the upper 80’s. By 6 I
was starting to get concerned since all her other vital signs were looking
good.
I decided to switch out her
probe sensor and immediately her blood oxygen level jumped right up to 100%.
Too bad I did not think of it sooner, I would have saved myself a lot of
stress.
She had a wonderful morning
and after breakfast she could not wait to start dancing.
Ali-Baba stopped by to join
in on the fun and help with trach care. Sadbh was very happy to see her.
Trach care went well and
Sadbh slept for over two hours.
Caity started her shift at 2
and Sadbh was not too happy when she first woke up and found Caity looking
after her. She only wanted Granddad but soon warmed up to Caity after she fully
woke up.
The rest of her evening was
spent playing and dancing around the house. She was thrilled to see Katie
arrive home and was soon turning up the volume on the stereo full blast.
Thankfully the Ramones was playing and Sadbh was dancing around like crazy.
We all had tickets to see
Cirque du Soleil tonight so Caity watched Sadbh until Julie’s shift started at
10. We were worried that Sadbh would not go to bed so easily, however when it
came time she asked to be put in her cot and started to drift off to sleep.
Next thing she called out
Caity’s name to make sure that she was there and when Caity answered she dropped
off into a good sleep.
We arrived home shortly
after 11 and Sadbh had just gone back to sleep. Seemingly Sadbh woke up and
wanted to play with Julie again. Thankfully she was quite tired so Julie did
not have any problems in getting her back to sleep.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
