Sadbh tolerated her trach
cap for two and a half hours during the night, another record night. Her first round was 59 minutes and the
second time she lasted for just over an hour and a half. Her blood oxygen and
heart rate was stable the entire time and she only got restless at the very end
of each session.
She woke up at 6:20 and
immediately did another 50 minutes while hanging out with Katie.
Amy arrived just before
Katie left for work and Sadbh was delighted with everyone fussing over her.
After a large breakfast
Sadbh and Amy got down to some serious fun. Later on Ali-Baba arrived with a new
book and a puzzle for Sadbh. She was thrilled.
Sadbh started to get very
tired just before 1 so it was time for a bath and a cuddle with Ali-Baba until
she was fast asleep.
Granddad and Amy managed
trach care today with Granddad cleaning and Amy holding Sadbh’s trach. This was
a little too soon for our liking as we wanted Amy to go through some formal
training on trach care first before she got involved in participating in trach
care and suctioning.
Sadbh slept solid for two
hours and woke up in a great mood.
Since she was not very
hungry she only had a light dinner. She could not wait to get back to playing
with her toys and when I arrived home she was in a fantastic mood.
Katie had an appointment
after work and my parents headed out for a long walk so Sadbh and I hung out
together for the evening.
We chased each other around
the house for ages and when she was done with that I had to push her around on
her toy lawnmower for 45 minutes solid. Every time I stopped she would give out
to me and if she noticed that I did not have both hands on the handlebar she
would say “two hands daddy”.
I was lucky that our path
lead through the kitchen so I was able to make dinner as we lapped the house.
For dinner tonight Sadbh
could not get enough Parmesan cheese. She shoveled fist full’s into her mouth
and kept asking for more.
Bedtime was easy tonight and
Sadbh dropped off to sleep in no time whatsoever.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
