Sadbh slept well but needed suctioning a couple of
times during the night. I took over from Danielle at 6 and Sadbh slept on
soundly for two more hours. She was in a great mood when she woke up and soon
she was having breakfast with Sophia.
We had a busy morning after Mommy left for work. We
headed out to run a few errands and on the way home we stopped off to get some
groceries. Sadbh had fun with Sophia and could not wait to find Trader Joey and
to get her reward.
When we got home it was time for lunch and since
Sadbh had worked up a big appetite it was not too difficult to get her to eat
her lunch.
Sophia helped me with trach care today and she kept
Sadbh entertained with a story about a rat that she found on her grandfathers
farm back in Germany. It is so funny what keeps Sadbh’s interest while we do
trach care, but thankfully it works.
Sophia was very nervous but she did a wonderful job.
Before she knew it we were done and Sadbh was asking to take a nap.
She asked to sleep with her trach cap on and slept
for almost two hours.
When she woke up the first words that came out of her
mouth was “dingle hopper” from the movie “The Little Mermaid”. She was laughing
so hard and when I asked if that’s what she was dreaming about she scoffed and
said “no, that’s silly”.
As soon as Sadbh was out of bed and dressed we both
headed out in to the back yard and played with her ponies. I had no choice.
We had a lot of fun and it was interesting being
subjected to her wild and fascinating imagination.
Soon Sophia and Mommy were home and it was time for
dinner. We ate out in the garden and unfortunately for Sadbh she took too long
and a couple of pesky wasps ended up chasing us back indoors.
Nevertheless we bundled up Sadbh’s equipment into her
red wagon and headed off up the street to get ice cream. She was delighted with
her selection and she took her sweet time walking home.
It took a while for her to fall asleep tonight, as
she wanted to wear her trach cap to sleep. She tried really hard, but she
eventually told Katie it was “owie”, so Katie took it off and soon Sadbh was
fast asleep.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
