Sadbh slept lightly for the
first part of the night and was tossing and turning the whole time.
Helen tried to cap her trach
but every time she would get it on Sadbh would pull it off instantly.
By 4 she was finally falling
into a deep sleep and was getting the rest that she deserved.
Her lungs were sounding a
little goopy however she is definitely improving by the day.
Not long after Helen’s shift
ended Sadbh was up and ready to get the day started.
She had a huge breakfast and
later in the morning she headed off to the Seattle University campus to check
out the dogs and to hang out in the gardens there.
Trach care went well even
though Sadbh was awake the whole time. She got a little restless and wanted Amy
to tell her a different story. At
one point, she looked up at Larissa and asked her if they were done.
Afterwards she wanted to be
placed into her cot where she fell into a deep sleep for two hours.
For lunch she ate like a
queen. Before Nana left she baked a big batch of scones and froze them. Sadbh
devoured one during lunch and wanted more.
After Katie arrived home we
loaded up the stroller, put a cap on Sadbh trach and headed up to Capitol Hill.
We promised her ice cream if she kept the cap on and it worked. She tolerated
it for just over an hour so she deserved to be treated to a nice dessert. We ended up getting her frozen
custard and she was delighted.
It was a lovely evening to
be out walking and by the time we got home it was well past Sadbh’s bedtime. She
was very cuddly as we got her ready for bed and was fast asleep in no time.
All in all Sadbh managed to
wear her cap for three hours today over a number of sessions. Her progress is
slow and the cold she is getting over definitely set her back quite a bit.
Thankfully everyone is dedicated to getting her back on track.
We are still waiting to hear
back from the insurance company on how our appeal is going.
Sadly Amy handed in her
notice today and will be finishing up in four weeks.
The race is now on to find a
replacement in time for her departure.
Just when things were going
smooth. Typical.
Have a lovely weekend,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
