Sadbh had a good night and
wore her trach cap a couple of times. The first was for 20 minutes and the
second was for 40 minutes. She did great each time but did start to get a
little restless.
Julie’s shift ended at 6 so
I took over to look after Sadbh. She slept for another 20 minutes and was eager
to get upstairs to see Katie and hopefully Kipper.
She was in an excellent mood
and wanted to play.
She had a fun filled morning
and got to watch quite a bit of Sesame Street, Thomas the tank engine and
Kipper. Katie and I were busy putting an offer together for Sadbh’s new nanny
so Sadbh got to watch a little more of her iPad than usual.
Thankfully it was well worth
it as Amy accepted the offer and will start working with Sadbh on Monday.
Just before nap time Sadbh
got to Skype with her aunt Trish in New Zealand. Since they are a day ahead of
us it was already St. Patrick’s day in NZ and more importantly it was my
sisters birthday. Sadbh greeted her aunt by wishing her a happy birthday and
later on she joined in on singing to her a happy birthday.
When it finally came time
for her nap she was wiped out so it did not take long for her to fall asleep
after her bath.
Trach care was very easy
today and we were also able to change her trach for a new one. Sadbh slept
great throughout and barely flinched when I inserted the new trach into her
airway.
After a two-hour nap she
woke up very happy and extremely giddy. She could not stop playing with Katie
and the both of them were in hysterics with laughter.
Once she was dressed it was
time for a big feed and then off out for a walk through Madison Park.
We headed down to a dock on
the lake and since the wind was blowing so hard the waves were rolling in off
the lake. Sadbh was in her element and did not want to leave.
Our next destination was the
kid’s park and Sadbh got to have so much fun swinging and playing on the other
fun things.
The sun finally came out so
we headed up to Volunteer Park up on Capitol Hill. It was kind of chilly due to
the wind so we hung out in the car for a bit while enjoying the sunshine. Sadbh
joined me up front and pressed every single button on the dash.
Eventually she asked me to
move into the back seat so I asked if she wanted to drive us home. She immediately
said yes as if she was an experienced driver.
Sadbh was exhausted when it
came to bedtime tonight so it did not take long before she was fast asleep in
her cot.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
