Granddad took over from
Julie at 5:30 allowing Katie to get some extra rest. Sadbh had slept great
through the night and woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed at 6:15. She was
very happy lying in her bed and did not get up for another 20 minutes.
She was in a great mood and
was very happy hanging out with Granddad as he prepared her breakfast. She had
a healthy appetite and ended up having a nice big breakfast.
As soon as she was done it
was time for the fun and games to start.
Kara worked for a few hours
today and Sadbh was delighted to see her. She even showed Kara how well she
could wear her cap.
It was a nice day so they
all headed out for a walk through the neighborhood.
By the time Sadbh arrived
home she was getting very tired and ready for her nap.
Granddad and Nana both did
trach care while Kara supervised. It all went well and Sadbh slept for two
hours and forty-five minutes.
When she finally woke up she
was very surprised to see her friend Conor and his little baby sister Aibhín.
Sadbh was still very sleepy and could not believe her eyes. It did not take
long before Sadbh and Conor were playing and dancing to the “wheels on the bus”
song that they both love so much.
Just before he left, poor
Conor tripped and bit his tongue. Sadbh was very concerned about him.
When it came time for Conor
and Aibhín to leave Sadbh was very sad to see them go.
The rest of her evening was
spent playing with Katie and I and when it came time for bed she was quite
tired. It took almost an hour to get her to sleep but she finally dropped off
into a deep slumber.
Almost an hour after Sadbh
fell asleep we capped her trach to see how she would handle it. She got very
restless, however her vitals stayed strong and she did great for 10 minutes
before we decided to take it off.
This was a very positive
step forward and we need to keep doing this on a regular basis.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
