Sadbh slept great but
Danielle had no luck trying to cap her trach. It seems that she can manage it
well throughout the day but has no desire to wear it at night.
We decided to give her a
break at night for the next couple of weeks.
She woke up just as Danielle
left and was quick to help mommy with making breakfast. She even discovered the
Taytos (potato chips) that I had brought back from my recent trip home to Cork
however, unfortunately for her, she did not get to eat any.
After breakfast we headed to
Costco to get a few things and most importantly a photo of Sadbh for her US
passport. She was so good posing and we ended up with a great photo.
By the time we arrived home
Sadbh started to fall asleep in the car. We carefully moved her into room and
set about preparing for trach care.
She slept right through and
after we placed her in her cot she slept for another hour.
Uncle Neil came by and as
soon as Sadbh was dressed and fed we headed up to Capitol Hill for a walk.
It’s Pride weekend in
Seattle this weekend so Sadbh got to join in on the festivities. She had a
great time and was thrilled to see all the rainbow flags. She kept saying “its
my birthday” and singing “Happy Birthday to Sadbh”. She also sang the rainbow song a lot “Red and Yellow and
Pink and Green, Purple and Orange and Blue”.
We met up with an old
neighbor of Katie’s and he was very excited to meet Sadbh. She even scored a
new pair of sunglasses off of Don.
Things got very exciting
when a bunch of people started prancing around the park dressed up as unicorns.
Sadbh could not believe her eyes and followed them in complete awe.
Soon after she was joined
with Dylan, Conor and Aibhin. Now
the real fun was about to start and the kids had a fantastic time running,
chasing bubbles and hanging out.
Dylan is a few
months older than Sadbh and he’s extremely adventurous and has no issues
investigating new and interesting things. Sadbh on the other hand is fairly
cautious and done not like to get dirty. As a result she was very busy chasing
Dylan around with a clean wipe ready to clean his hands or face anytime she
felt he needed it.
After hanging out
in the park for a while we decided it was time to head off to get some ice
cream and cool off. I think Conor was the only kid not to end up with a big
mess and Sadbh even needed to change all her clothes she was so messy.
After saying goodbye
to everyone it did not take us long to walk home and after a nice bath Sadbh
was soon fast asleep.
Not a bad way to
end her day and first pride celebration.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
