Sadbh
slept great and did not have to be suctioned. She was congested after she woke
up and I managed to suction a couple of nice mucus plugs from her trach.
After
breakfast we gave her a nebulizer and this helped keep her trach clear and easy
to suction.
It
was frigid cold so with Sadbh bundled up nice and warm we headed off out for a
stroll. She did not want to go at first but as soon as she saw all the frost
she got excited and wanted to go find Frosty the snowman.
Oddly
enough we did find Frosty the snowman but it was a decoration hanging over the
doorway of a house close to Nora’s woods.
Sadbh
enjoyed being out in the crisp cool air and by the time we got back home she
had worked up quite the appetite. She had a huge feast and she could hardly
keep her eyes open by the time she finished.
Our
plan was working as we planned on changing out her trach as part of her monthly
trach care schedule.
We
are actually almost a week behind due to a delay with our medical supply
company processing our orders. Unfortunately they delayed our orders for the
past few months but thankfully they are working to get us back on schedule for
next month. Fingers crossed.
Trach
care went well and when it came time to put in the new trach it took a moment
to get it in. Her head was turned slightly to her right, which reduced the size
of the entryway for her stoma.
She
slept right through and only woke up when I was tying up her trach ties.
She
had a fun evening and was very excited when Mommy arrived home.
We
showed Mommy how Sadbh sits on my legs pretending to be on a horse. It was so
funny and Mommy could not stop laughing.
By
now she was extremely tired and when it came time for bed she was out like a
light in seconds.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
