Sadbh slept well and woke up
before Danielle’s shift ended at 6. Sadbh is usually sleeping through
Danielle’s shift so she was surprised to see someone she did not know sitting
there looking after her.
She was relieved a few
moments later when Katie popped her head in the door.
After breakfast I installed
black out curtain in Sadbh’s bedroom so she could nap easier during the day.
While I was setting things
up Sadbh got to Skype with my folks back in Cork. Granddad even wore Sadbh’s
ladybird hat that Sadbh stashed in his suitcase before he left. My two aunts,
Doreen and Mary, were visiting and Sadbh was thrilled to see everyone. She was
in a fantastic mood and kept blowing kisses and telling my parents that she
loved them.
While Katie and Sadbh were
out talking with our next-door neighbor, Anna, the fire department pulled up in
a big fire truck to check the fire hydrant on the street and needless to say
Sadbh was very impressed.
Things got very exciting
when they were called away to an emergency and with their sirens blaring they
took off down the street.
It was another beautiful day
in Seattle and since Nini only has a few more days with us we decided to do
trach care early and head over to Alki Beach to check out the scene.
Sadbh watched Kipper as Nini
held the iPad and as Katie and I managed trach care. She did great and soon we
were all loaded into the car and heading off to West Seattle.
Thankfully Sadbh took a nap
along the way so we decided to take advantage of her sleeping and headed off to
a nursery to get vegetables for the garden. She woke up just as we arrived at
Alki and soon we had her coved in sun block and ready to go.
Alki Beach was packed solid
and Sadbh could not stop smiling. She got to walk barefoot in the sand and when
the waves splashed up on her legs she was surprised how cold the water was.
There were loads of
motorcycles, flashy cars, dogs and all sorts of fun things for Sadbh to look
at.
Sadbh had a fantastic
evening and helped us in the garden.
We gave her a nice bath just
before bedtime. Unfortunately we got her trach tie wet while washing her hair
so after she was dried off we had to manage trach care for the second time. She
was very corporative and did not fuss.
Thankfully we got it done
very quickly and soon Sadbh was falling asleep in Katie’s arms.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
