Sadbh
had yet another great night and slept soundly. Danielle was not successful in
capping her trach unfortunately.
Katie
took over from Danielle at 6 and Sadbh woke up not too long afterwards and was ready
for breakfast.
We
had a bunch of errands to take care of this morning so as soon as we were ready
we headed off. Sadbh was happy to be out in the car but soon fell asleep.
Our
first stop was Costco and since Sadbh was still sleeping we transferred her
ever so gently from the car to her stroller.
Fifteen
minutes or so later she woke up with a surprised look on her face. She loves
Costco and wanted everything she set her eyes on.
We
later headed to REI to check out a few different bike trailers for Sadbh. She
spotted a couple of nice pink kids bikes with training wheels and was very
intent on getting one. Unfortunately for her, she did not succeed in persuading
us to buy one.
As
soon as we arrived home we got everything set up for trach care and trach
change. By now she was wide-awake so we had to talk her through the whole
process. Usually when we are doing trach change Sadbh is either sleeping or we
have a third person available to hold the iPhone so she can remain focused on
that when we remove the old trach and replace it with the new one.
Today
since it was just Katie and I we had to turn off the iPhone and explain the
process and how we needed her to help out.
At
first she was reluctant but soon understood that it would be easier to comply.
Thankfully
everything went well however as soon as the new trach went in Sadbh got very
upset and cried for a while. She was perfectly fine but I think she was a
little frightened by the whole experience.
Once
we were done with that we loaded up the car and headed over to meet Ali-Baba
and Kirk for dinner.
Sadbh
fell asleep soon after we left the house but woke up as soon as she heard
Ali-Baba’s voice.
She
was delighted to see both Ali-Baba and Kirk and was very chatty throughout
dinner.
After
dinner we headed to get ice cream and then went over to Sunset Hill to check
the sun setting behind the Olympic Mountains. Sadbh had great time playing with
Ali-Baba and was very sad when we all headed off home. As we left she started
to shout out the window “Bye bye Peggy!” Too funny!
Just
before bed Sadbh took her first poop in her potty. It was a joyous moment for
everyone up to the point when I had to clean out the potty. Sadbh
was very proud of herself, as were we.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
