Sadbh didn’t do as well with
her trach cap last night but she did have a great night sleep.
I took over from Danielle at
6 and Sadbh slept for another 30 minutes.
She was in a good mood but
wanted Katie. We decided to let mommy sleep in so Sadbh and I headed into the
kitchen for breakfast. She had a mighty appetite and was very happy eating
breakfast and watching Kipper.
Later Sadbh and I headed up
to Café Presse to meet my friend Marcus. Sadbh was very shy but extremely flirtatious. She was very well behaved and was happy
hanging out while Marcus and I chatted.
Once we finished up at Care
Presse we headed over to the Seattle U campus so Sadbh could check out the
ducks in the pond outside her favorite church. She was so excited she almost
jumped in after them.
She made up for sitting so
calmly in the restaurant by chasing as many birds through the park as she
could. She had a wonderful time and when it came time to say good-bye to Marcus
she gave him a big hug and a few kisses.
Sadbh was delighted when we
got home to mommy. Despite all the running around she still had a load of
energy to burn off.
It was getting close to her
naptime so we gave her a bath and got her ready for trach care. She did not want
to sleep nor did she want us to manage trach care. We convinced her to play
along but this meant that we could not swaddle her. She was a star and allowed
us to take care of business without any problems.
As soon as we were done she
dropped off to sleep and did not wake for an hour and a half.
Ali-Baba and Kirk arrived
just before Sadbh woke up and she was delighted to see them.
It was time for lunch and as
soon as she was done we all headed out in to the garden to take care of Sadbh’s
plants.
She was in her element and
was very excited when she saw Pat and Anna next door.
Just when she thought that
things could not get any better, Nana and Granddad Skyped from back home. She
was so happy to see them and at one point she went right up to the iPad and
told them that she missed them.
It was very emotional and
extremely sweet.
Later in the evening we
headed up to Capitol Hill to get the shopping for the week and Sadbh had a lot
of fun sitting up on mommy’s shoulders.
When we arrived home Sadbh
headed straight into her room and after collecting a few medical items she
started managing trach care on one of her dolls.
Bedtime was easy tonight as
Sadbh was wrecked tired and fast asleep within 20 minutes.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
