It was a restless night for
Sadbh and she tolerated her trach cap for only an hour. Thankfully Julie was
quick to respond every time Sadbh woke up and was able to get her back to sleep
quickly.
She finally woke up at 6:40
and was over the moon to see Katie sitting there next to her cot.
Sadbh had so much energy
this morning and was in a fantastic mood. She came up to our bed for a while
and after some cuddles she announced that she was stuck and wanted help out of
bed. She really wanted to get to the phone so she could play with it.
Sadbh usually gets her way
and she was happy walking around the bedroom pretending to be chatting on the
phone to her god-daddy Derek.
As she finished up breakfast
I showed her video footage of the Isle of Man TT motorcycle race. She loved it
and asked to watch it two more times.
It was a beautiful day so we
brought Sadbh outside to play on her trike. She had so much fun and was soon
joined by her friend Maya. Both girls were playing in the garden and soon Maya
had found a teeny tiny worm. Sadbh was impressed with how brave Maya was and
was delighted with the discovery.
After all the excitement it
was time for a nap and trach care. It took a while to get Sadbh off to sleep
and as soon as she was we were able to manage trach care very easily.
She had a great sleep and
woke up still very sleepy.
After something to eat we
all bundled into the car and headed off to Snoqualmie to check out the old
trains. Sadbh was very impressed and could not believe her eyes.
The trains do not run this
time of year so we must bring her back later in the spring so she can go for a
ride.
Before heading back to town
we stopped by the falls to check it out. Due to all the snow in the mountains
this winter the falls were gushing and we all got wet with it’s mist. Sadbh was
fascinated and could not stop looking at it.
On the way home we stopped
by my office so my parents could check it out and Sadbh did not want to leave.
We sat her in my chair and she was very happy playing with my keyboard and
mouse. It’s funny sometimes the things that can cause so much entertainment for
a child.
Just before bedtime Nana and
Granddad dressed Sadbh up in a very cute sailors outfit. She loved it and
danced around the house to a few of her favorite songs.
Sadbh also had to put all
her stuffed animals to sleep with Granddad and Nana’s help she laid them out on
the couch and covered them up with blankets.
Sadbh had a wonderful day
and really enjoyed herself.
Hopefully she will have a much better night sleep tonight and that Julie
will have more success capping Sadbh’s trach.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
