Sadbh
had another good night and slept until 7. I took over from Crystal at 6 and was
there to greet Sadbh when she woke up. She was happy to see me but asked for
mommy.
It
was a beautiful day so breakfast was served in the sunshine on the back porch.
Not
long after Ali-Baba came by to hang out and play. Sadbh was so excited and
almost jumped through the window when she spotted her coming up the pathway.
Both
Sadbh and Ali-Baba headed out to the back yard where they had high tea and
played in the garden.
Sadbh
could not get enough and when it came time for trach care she did not want to
have anything to do with it.
After
some serious persuasion she finally gave in allowing Ali-Baba and I to take
care of her trach.
She
was very unhappy when Ali-Baba left and had a mini tantrum when I tried putting
her to bed. It took a while for her to fall asleep but she eventually dozed off
and slept for almost three hours.
She
was not in the greatest of moods when she finally woke up and she was very
fussy for the rest of the day.
Sadbh
was delighted as soon as Mommy arrived home.
Our
new night nurse seems to be working out so far but it reminds us of the lack of
privacy we have in our own home.
All
but a couple of nurses over the past two and a half years have been very
respective towards us and our home, and only enter rooms that they are allowed
to. Examples would be Sadbh’s room, bathroom and kitchen.
Last
night when I was washing dishes the nurse walked straight into the kitchen,
barely said hi and put her lunch into the fridge before walking back to Sadbh’s
room. She is a nice young woman but clearly lacks the concept that she is in
someone’s “home” and therefore needs to treat is as someone else’s home and not
hers.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
