Sadbh had a much better
night sleep but only managed to tolerate her trach cap for a combined hour and
ten minutes over two sessions.
Granddad took over from
Julie at 6am and Sadbh slept on for another 45 minutes.
She was in a great mood and was
very happy to watch the sun rise from the back porch.
It was a very busy morning
for Sadbh and she joined my parents for mass at the local church. Since it was
Palm Sunday mass was a little longer than usual. As a result Sadbh eventually
got bored and required a little more attention than usual.
Unfortunately, Sadbh lost
her stuffed cat, Meow Meow, on the way home from mass. Despite a full on search, she arrived
home empty handed. Ali-Baba was able to run out and find a replacement (fraternal
twins?) so hopefully Sadbh will be happy with Meow Meow 2 instead.
After a busy and playful
morning it was finally time for trach care. Sadbh really enjoyed her bath and
after a twenty-minute cuddle she was off to sleep.
Katie and I managed trach
care fairly easily, however, Sadbh’s neck appeared to be sore in one spot so we
dressed it up to help heal it.
After sleeping for an hour
and twenty minutes it was time for a bite to eat and for the fun and games to
start up again. Initially she was very slow to leave her cot and had a great
time playing with as many stuffed animals that could fit in with her.
The sun was shining high in
the sky and it was turning out to be a beautiful spring day. We loaded up the
car and headed over to Greenlake for a walk.
It was wonderful and even
the turtles were out basking in the sun. Sadbh walked almost half way around
the lake and was so excited when she got close to a few ducks.
She even got to chat with
her cousins and aunt in Portland.
After our walk we meet up
with Clodagh, Cormac and their parents for a bite to eat. Uncle Neil also
joined us and Sadbh was beside herself with excitement when she met her
friends.
We figured that the long
walk around the lake would have tired Sadbh out but that was not the case. She
had more energy than ever and both Katie and I ended up taking turns chasing
her around the restaurant.
Thankfully it was a kid
friendly establishment.
It did not take long to get
Sadbh off to sleep when it came time for bed. She was wiped out from a very fun
day and fell asleep in Katie’s arms in no time.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
