Sadbh
woke up shortly after Kysha’s shift ended and she was happy hanging out in her
cot for a while longer so we could let Mommy sleep in a while longer. Around
half past seven she had enough so I unhooked her equipment and we both headed
upstairs.
She
had a busy morning baking biscuits with Mommy and making a nice big mess in the
kitchen.
Katie’s
Aunt Kathie had a medical procedure during the week and Sadbh has been asking non-stop
how she is doing. Katie phoned her Aunt to check in and Sadbh was very excited.
She kept saying “Kathie is a little bit scared?” and was relieved to find out
that Kathie was doing well.
Later
on I received a call from my folks and Sadbh insisted on taking over the call.
She had been looking at a photo of me when I was being christened and noticed
that Granddad had a full head of hair. She said “Granddad, you had hair, see.”
It was so funny and she even tried to show my dad the photo over the phone.
Next
on the list of things to do today was a bath for our princess and then trach
care. She enjoyed the bath but did not want us to manage trach care. After some
negotiations she finally gave in and we were able to get it taken care of
without any further delays.
With
that we headed off to Greenlake for a walk as the sun had finally come out.
Half
way around the lake Sadbh fell asleep and slept soundly for twenty minutes or
so with her trach cap on. You could hear her strider as she worked hard to
breathe so we eventually checked her blood oxygen level to see how she was
doing. Unfortunately, her hands were cold due so it would not give a good
reading. Once warmed up her blood oxygen was showing at 92% so we removed the
cap and replaced it with her humidifier nose. She slept a lot more soundly
after that.
The
rest of her evening was spent playing with Sophia. Before bedtime Sophia read
her a couple of bedtime stories and Sadbh was delighted with herself. It was a
lovely way to end the day.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
