Sadbh’s
temperature and heart rate was normal throughout the night but she needed
constant suctioning. Shortly after Danielle arrived Sadbh had a hard time
breathing so Katie and Danielle suctioned to clear her airway.
Danielle
suctioned almost every hour but thankfully Sadbh slept right through the night.
This
morning her airway seemed very dry but, after some suctioning, Katie was
successful in removing a sizable mucus plug.
We
gave her an Albuterol nebulizer and this helped clear her lungs up a bit,
however we still had to suction a lot throughout the day.
Despite
all this Sadbh was in an excellent mood and had so much energy. She wanted to
make sure that everyone in the house was awake and could not wait to go downstairs
to wake Nini up.
It
was a very windy day but rather than staying indoors we headed over to show
Nini the Fremont and Ballard markets.
The
Ballard farmers market was quieter than usual but this did not dampen Sadbh’s
spirits. She loves the market and enjoyed the extra free space for a change.
Before
we headed home we stopped off to see Ali-Baba and Kirk. Sadbh was so excited
when she found out that we were stopping by.
Sadbh
was exhausted when it came time for bed but before she went down we gave her a
saline nebulizer. Her lungs sounded better this time around so we decided not
to bother with the Albuterol.
Hopefully
she will have a better night tonight.
After
three months leave from work to look after Sadbh I am returning tomorrow. It’s
going to be hard to go back to work, but thankfully it will not be for long.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
