Sadbh
had a very good night and slept right through to 8. She woke up in a good mood
and wanted to go upstairs to see Mommy.
The
area around Sadbh’s stoma has become a big collection point for her secretions.
It seems that she is pushing air and secretions out through her neck and it
gathers under her trach dressing. Thankfully it is fairly easy to clean up but
we are concerned that her trach is either too small for her or that her vocal
cords are not opening as wide as they have been.
We
had a busy day planned since it was Sophia’s last day. As soon as breakfast was
finished we headed out into the sunny garden for a few photos with Sophia and
Nana and Granddad. Sadbh looked gorgeous and could not stop hugging everyone.
Granddad
and I managed trach care and once we were done we loaded up the car and headed
out.
Sadbh
was in a wonderful mood and after running a few errands we stopped of for lunch
downtown. Sadbh was delighted to tuck into my sandwich and could not get enough.
I can’t blame her as it was a really good sandwich.
After
that we headed to Alki Beach for a walk and despite being very tired she had a
great time walking along holding Sophia’s hand.
She
was so giddy having fun with Sophia that she lost the run of herself and fell
over and grazed her knee.
She
was a little upset but soon fell asleep after getting buckled into her car
seat.
Granddad
sat with her in the car after we arrived home so she could nap for a little
longer. When she finally woke up she was very upset and it seemed that her knee
was causing her a lot more pain than earlier.
Sadbh
usually loves to play with bandaids but today she did not want one despite the
need. It took some serious convincing to get one on her knee and she soon felt
much better.
Bedtime
was later than usual and we tried to get Sadbh to fall asleep with her trach
cap on. She was completely exhausted and managed to doze off for a while with
the cap on. Unfortunately she woke up after a few minutes but she finally fell
asleep a few minutes before Danielle arrived.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
