Sadbh had a very good night
and despite being suctioned a few times, she slept right through until 7:20.
I took over from Danielle at
6 and got ready to deal with any mucus plugs that might come up.
I received the biggest smile
when she woke up and instantly got a huge hug and a kiss.
She did require quite a bit
of suctioning and had a few smaller plugs. But all in all everything went well
and she did not experience any difficulties in breathing.
Sadbh was starving so Katie
made pancakes and fruit for breakfast.
At one point, Sadbh was on
her changing table I popped my head into the room while wearing a strange
scarf. Sadbh’s reaction was priceless when she looked at me and said “oh my
god”. It was hilarious and we were all in hysterics laughing.
It was a beautiful day so
Katie and I wanted to get out and enjoy the sunshine. We decided to manage
trach care as soon as possible and this meant managing it while Sadbh was
awake. After a quick chat with her and a bribe of cookies we got under way and
were successful in getting it done without any problems.
This was a great result and
removed a huge amount of stress for the rest of the day.
Our first stop was
University village. As Katie and Sadbh waited for me outside one of the shops a
guy pulled up on his motorcycle. Sadbh was waving like crazy and when the guy
got off he walked over, shook her hand, said hello little girl and introduced
himself as Dimitri.
Sadbh was smitten and Katie
grew very worried about Sadbh’s interest in motorcycles and the guys who ride
them. Thankfully for Katie she has a good 14 or so years to work on changing
Sadbh’s mind.
Traffic was horrible today
so we were very lucky to get trach care out of the way earlier. Sadbh napped
for an hour and a half in the car as we crawled through town.
Su-Jin worked this evening
for a few hours so Katie and I could go out on a date night. Sadbh was out
playing in the back garden with Nini when Su-Jin arrived and she over the moon
when she saw her.
She had a wonderful time
playing with Nini and Su-Jin for the evening and after a big dinner she started
to show signs of getting tired.
By 7:40 she was out cold and
thankfully she did not have any more coughing fits.
It was great to see Su-Jin as
we had not seen her in ages. She was blown away by Sadbh’s development and
Sadbh had a great time teaching Su-Jin a bunch of her favorite songs. Every
time Su-Jin would get a chorus wrong Sadbh would be quick to correct her. Very
entertaining to say the least.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
