Sadbh
woke up very sad this morning as she new we would soon be packing up and
heading home. She had a decent night and made it until 4am before she needed to
be suctioned. Her airway was still very dry so we gave her a saline nebulizer
as soon as she was awake. Katie suctioned a big mucous plug out of her trach
and immediately Sadbh felt a lot better.
We
had to be out of the rental house before 10 so it was an early start breaking
down all her equipment and packing everything into the car.
Sadbh
and her friends made the most of the morning and had a lot of fun playing.
She
was very upset when we loaded her into the car and kept asking for her friends.
We
planned to meet up in town for breakfast before hitting the road and as soon as
we pulled in Sadbh got very excited.
When
breakfast was done we headed over to the park and the kids got to play one last
time. They really enjoyed themselves and were all quite tired when it was
finally time to leave.
Sadbh
passed out within minutes and slept soundly for an hour and a half.
She
was upset for a short while after waking up but mommy cheered her up and kept
Sadbh entertained for the rest of the journey home.
Sadbh
was delighted to be home and could not stop hugging and kissing Regal the
beagle. Even mommy and I got to got a hug and kiss from Regal. It took us a
while to off load the car and get everything set up back in Sadbh’s room. She
did not mind as she hung out reading some of her favorite books in the living
room.
As
soon as we were set up we took care of trach care and headed off up to Capitol
Hill for dinner and to get the shopping.
On
our way to get Sadbh some ice cream she took a nasty fall and banged her head
on the pavement. She went down so fast that I could not catch her in time and
nor could she stop her fall.
She
ended up with a big lump on her forehead and it took a while to console her.
We
were able to get some ice to place on her head but she did not want it. She did
not want the ice cream that we got her but soon she was excited about getting
some bandages for her bruises.
We
kept a very close eye on her to make sure that she did not have a concussion
and were reassured when her mood perked up not long afterwards. She is one
tough cookie to say the least.
Bedtime
was very easy as she was very tired.
Helen
is working tonight so Sadbh will be well looked after.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
