Sadbh had a good night and thankfully
it seemed that her lower lobes were sounding less congested that the night
prior.
She woke up around 7:20 and
was in a very happy mood.
Amy arrived at 8 and Sadbh
got stuck into her breakfast. She had a healthy appetite and afterwards the fun
and games started.
Larissa was also working
today so Sadbh had plenty of company to keep her entertained.
The weather was gorgeous so
Sadbh, Amy and Larissa headed out to the Seattle University campus for a walk.
As luck would have it, the
lady and her dogs were playing catch in the park so Sadbh got to watch in
amazement.
Sadbh arrived home shortly
before noon and was ready for her bath. She was fast asleep within the hour so
Larissa and Amy got started on trach care. Just as they were removing the trach
tie Sadbh woke up and got extremely fussy.
They had to abandon trach
care and thankfully managed to get her trach tie secure again.
Sadbh was fast asleep within
15 minutes but trach care was postponed until bedtime tonight.
She slept for over two hours
and woke up with a huge poopy nappy and saying that she was hungry.
After cleaning her up it was
time for dinner and Sadbh ate like a queen for almost an hour.
She was finishing up just as
I arrived home and she came running to the back door to greet me.
As Larissa and Amy were
leaving Sadbh went running up to them and gave them each a kiss and a big hug. What
a way to end your day’s work.
Sadbh had a wonderful
evening and we played non-stop until Nini arrived home. Nini joined in and
Sadbh had so much fun.
Katie and I managed trach
care tonight while Sadbh was awake. I told her another story about her cousin
Zoe and she was hung on to every word.
Everything went well and as
we were finishing up she turned towards her bed and said “Oh my god, I’m
tired”.
Sadbh managed to wear her
cap for a total of an hour today. The first attempt was for 15 minutes and the
second for 45 minutes. She still has a lot of secretions but we are hopeful
that she is over the worst and on the road to recovery soon. We need to get her
back into practicing being capped to see how long she can tolerate it so we can
start working towards having her trach removed.
Sadbh’s received her Irish
passport today and is officially an Irish citizen in addition to being a US
citizen. She looks so cute in her passport photo and we hope that she get’s to
use it in the near future.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
