Sadbh
had a very good night and woke up extremely happy shortly after 8. She even declared
that she was felling better.
Thankfully
she was indeed over her fever and she was full of energy.
We
had trach change scheduled for last week but due to Sadbh’s fever we postponed
it until today. She did not want to nap so I explained to her what our plan was
and she was onboard with helping out.
Everything
went well until I inserted the new trach into her stoma. For some reason it
hurt her and she got very irritated and struggled to break loose from her
swaddle.
It
created a very stressful moment as we had to secure her trach ties as quickly
as possible and make sure that the trach was correctly placed in her airway.
Eventually
we were able to calm Sadbh down and we were also able to make sure that her
trach was ok. It was so upsetting to see Sadbh in such distress.
Later
in the evening Sadbh was starting to show signs of fatigue and a runny nose and
she almost fell asleep while eating.
We
had a meet and greet with a new night nurse at 6:30 so it was a little hectic
around the house as soon as Mommy arrived home from work. Dinner was ready but
we wanted to make sure that we had all eaten before the new nurse arrived as
typically these interviews can go on for an hour or longer.
The
meet and great went well and we think this new nurse might work out.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
