Sadbh
had a lot of secretions during the night and Crystal spent quite a while
suctioning. Shortly after two she decided to give Sadbh an Albuterol nebulizer.
This came as a huge surprise to us when we found out in the morning as we only
give Albuterol nebulizers to Sadbh under doctors orders when she is sick.
Typically
with Albuterol it raises the patients heart rate making it difficult for them
to sleep. Thankfully Sadbh slept fine despite having an elevated heart rate.
Needless
to say, Crystal will be calling Katie and myself down before she administers
any medication to Sadbh from here on.
Sadbh
was in a great mood when she woke up around 6:30 and was quick to start playing
with her dolls.
After
breakfast we headed off to Costco and Sadbh was so excited when she got to see
all the toys, Christmas trees and Santa dolls. She wanted everything and when
we reminded her that she needed to be good she responded that she was happy and
good. Obviously she does not yet get the concept but I’m sure over time she’ll
figure it out.
The
rest of the day was not so good as Sadbh was very cranky and did not want to
sleep.
We
were able to get trach care done, however we had to work quickly as she really
did not want to be bundled up in her swaddle.
In
the evening we met up with Neil and headed to Presse for dinner. Sadbh was very
restless but when Mommy told her that she could order ice cream if she behaved
she calmed right down. Once she got the servers attention she quietly asked “excuse
me, can I have some ice cream?”. It was very cute and sweet and it worked like
a dream.
When
it came time for bed Sadbh was fast asleep in no time whatsoever.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
