Sadbh had a good night sleep
and woke up happy to see Gerdie.
She played for a while in her bed with Nana and then woke up rearing to
go.
It was a busy morning as
every one in the house was finishing their packing and getting ready for the
trip to Chelan. It always takes
longer than it should and by the time we were just about ready to go, Sadbh was
showing signs of being tired.
We decided to do an
abbreviated trach care routine, skipping the bath. It seemed like Sadbh was going to go to sleep, but suddenly
she got another burst of energy.
We decided to do something different and talk her through trach care
while she was awake. Grandad
helped by holding the iPad so Sadbh could watch Kipper. Katie cleaned and Wayne held the
trach. Sadbh was a star (as usual)
and she stayed calm and even giggled as she saw the funny things that Kipper was
doing on the iPad.
Soon, trach care was done
and the crew could continue getting ready for the road. Once in the car, Sadbh was
fast asleep in no time. She slept for the first hour of the journey and woke up just after
we past Snoqualmie Pass. Since
Sadbh is nearly two, we turned her car seat around and she was able
to look forward and watch as the snow came flying against the windshield.
The rest of the
trip went well and Sadbh busied herself with snacking, drawing and playing with her doll. She especially loved using the
Walkie Talkie and hearing Poppy’s and Gerdie’s voices from the other car through the device. When we arrived at the house, she was
ready to get out and play.
She was delighted to run around the house and find new toys that she
could play with. The toy trucks
were especially fun to play with!
The evening was spent
jumping and dancing around the house.
At dinner, Sadbh was singing “Happy Birthday Sadbhy”. She definitely knows that her big day
is coming soon! Its hard to
believe she will be 2 years old on Wednesday.
It was a late bedtime since
we had lots of putting together to do.
Sadbh loved watching Wayne and Gerdie set up her bed and she couldn’t
wait to get into it. Katie asked
her if she was tired and wanted to go to sleep and she said “Yes, in
bed!”. Once the bed was ready,
Wayne and Sadbh laid down and they were both fast
asleep in moments.
We hope Sadbh will sleep
well tonight and for the whole week.
We do not have nurses here so she will sleep next to Katie in her new
bed. We are all looking forward to
a nice week away.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
