Sadbh slept soundly and
Helen was able to cap her trach for 34 minutes. Her blood oxygen level dropped
down to 97% but she was still in a good range.
She must have been
completely exhausted because she slept until 7:50.She was very unhappy when
Katie left for work and Sofia for class, but soon was distracted by Larissa and
Mariana.
Sadbh had her post op
appointment with Dr. Inglis this afternoon so Katie and I arrived home shortly
after noon. Sadbh was still sleeping from her nap so when it was time to go she
was not too happy to be woken up.
Dr. Inglis’s visit went as
expected. We had not seen much improvement in Sadbh’s condition since the last
visit and noticed that her strider was more prominent lately.
He went over our options
again and recommended that we stay the course that we are currently on and plan
our next visit in 4-6 months.
He determined that we are
probably hearing more strider due to the fact that as she is getting bigger she
is drawing in more air and since her vocal cords are not opening as much it is
causing her to struggle to get enough air in with each breath.
She was in a great mood
throughout the visit and gave Dr. Inglis and his assistant Pam Thank You cards
for all their help with the insurance problem that we had a couple of months
ago. She even told him that she liked eating grass and chives like a cow. She
is quite the entertainer.
After we were done we headed
off to meet Sophia at University Village and to also get Sadbh some ice cream.
Mommy and Larissa managed
trach care as soon as we arrived home and after that we headed off up to the
Seattle U campus for a walk.
It was a beautiful evening
and we all enjoyed being out in the warm sunshine.
Since we were out we decided
to go to Café Presse for dinner and uncle Neil stopped by to join us. Sadbh had
a great time with the wait staff and at one stage she was out dancing with
Holly and having a blast.
She was pooped when it came
time for bed and she was fast asleep in no time.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
