Sadbh only needed to be suctioned once during the
night but her lungs were still quite goopy regardless.
I took over from Danielle at 6 and Sadbh slept on
soundly until close to 7:30.
She was in a good mood and happy to see me, but when
Mommy popped her head into the room Sadbh’s smile grew from ear to ear.
As soon as she was up and out of bed she helped Mommy
with breakfast. The two ladies had a great time together.
We had a busy morning but Sadbh got a chance to talk
with Granddad who had just arrived back in Cork from his trip in Europe. She
even got to talk with her cousin Fionn.
We had trach change scheduled for earlier in the week
but since she was sick for the first few days we postponed it until she was
feeling a little better. She really dislikes having her trach changed but we
were able to bribe her with a new plush pony of her choice. She wanted a pony
named Rarity so we talked all day about what she had to do to get this reward.
She seemed to be onboard until it came time to change
out her trach so things got a little stressful until we could convince her that
everything would be ok.
Sophia was extremely helpful in trying to keep Sadbh
distracted.
Sadbh kept her head back exposing her neck allowing
Katie to remove her old trach. Unfortunately, as soon as the trach came out she
moved her head back down blocking the stoma. Despite this we were able to get
enough of an opening and I was successful in getting the new trach in through
the stoma and into her airway.
Sadbh was initially upset but she soon realized that
everything was fine and she then calmed down.
Ali-Baba and Kirk stopped by to hang out and since it
was a scorcher of a day they all hung out and played in the garden.
In the evening we headed over to Clodagh and Cormac’s
for movie night for the kids. Sadbh was delighted to spend the evening with her
friends and even though she had a nice dinner she could not get enough cookies
and brownies.
Bedtime was much easier tonight and Sadbh was fast
asleep before Danielle arrived.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
