Sadbh
slept like a log until 7:15 and woke up very happy to see me sitting right next
to her cot.
We
quickly unhooked her equipment and headed up to get snuggles from Mommy.
It
was a busy day full of fun activities. Using pipe cleaners, Jenna showed Sadbh
how to make candy canes for the Christmas tree and Sadbh was very proud of her
artwork.
Sadbh
initially put up a fuss when it came time for trach care and would not allow us
to get it done. After a quick talk to go over her two options, trach care the
easy way or the hard way, she thankfully picked the easy way so we were able to
get it done without any further difficulties.
Sadbh
woke up after a nice long nap and it was time to get stuck into her toys in the
basement. She made a right mess of the room downstairs but had a great time
with all her favorite toys.
For
the past few days we have eliminated all screen time, apart from the occasional
family movie and we have seen Sadbh’s creative side come out very strong.
This
evening she was pining over her iPad so we went through her library to read
some books that she has not seen in a while. We went through a nice big stack
but she became fixated with a lovely book our friend Helen wrote and created
for her a year and a half ago.
Sadbh
was fascinated with the story and could not stop talking about it all night. It
was wonderful.
Bedtime
came easy enough. Recently she prefers going to bed by herself, but she still
calls Mommy in a million times before finally falling asleep. Tonight was no
exception and I think Katie got her work out for the week walking to and from
Sadbh’s room.
In
the end I took over from Katie and sat next to Sadbh until she finally fell
asleep at 9:45, well past her bed time.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
