Sadbh
had a great sleep and Helen was able to cap her trach for two hours.
After
the first hour she woke up asking to have it taken off so Helen suctioned her
trach and put the cap back on. This did the trick and Sadbh slept soundly for
another hour before Helen took it off.
Helen
gave Sadbh her binkie just after the cap came off. Sadbh sucked very happily on it and Helen said to her “can I
have that binkie?” Sadbh thought
that was very funny and she giggled away (in her sleep).
She
woke up shortly after Helen left and was delighted to see mommy.
Katie
stayed home today to look after Sadbh.
Sadbh
was over the moon to have mommy all to herself but had no problem sharing her
when Ali-Baba stopped by.
They
had a great morning and managed trach care just after 1pm. After they were done, they all piled in
the car to run a few errands.
Sadbh was fast asleep in no time, but she only slept for 45 minutes and
woke up just in time to go shoe shopping with Katie and Alibaba and pick out
her new pair of shoes.
Once
they got home, Sadbh insisted on putting gon her sailor suit and put on some
music (Wheels on the Bus) so that she could dance. She even wore her outfit out when they went for a walk to
the post office.
When
she arrived home it was time to change again and this time she put on a
beautiful dress that her Aunt ZJ brought all the way from Hong Kong.
She
had a wonderful day with mommy and was exhausted by the time I arrived home
from work. It was late and she was already finishing up dinner.
We
got a chance to cuddle and then it was time for Sadbh to hit the sack.
Tomorrow
we load up the car and head off to meet our friends in Lake Chelan. We have
received a clean bill of health from everyone so we are looking forward to a
few days of relaxation and fun with the kids.
Since
we have not been able to find a nurse I’m going to take a leave of absence from
work for a few months while we search and train a replacement nurse. I’m really
excited about the chance to spend so much time with Sadbh.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
