Sadbh had a great night rest and only needed to be
suctioned once during the night. It took a few attempts to get her airway clear
but Helen was soon successful and Sadbh continued sleeping soundly.
She woke up happy but looking for Mommy shortly after
half past seven. I was obviously not good enough and she waited patiently until
Mommy came down to her.
Sadbh needed a saline nebulizer later in the morning
and quite a bit of suctioning. At first she did not want to and the more she
got upset the more secretions she generated. As soon as I was able to get the
nebulizer collar on I was able to work on getting her calm and before long we
were having a good time making each other laugh.
Conor and Aibhin came by for a play date and all
three kids headed down to Sadbh’s house at the bottom of the garden. It was
nice and cool in the shade and they all had a lot of fun.
Sharing toys is still an issue with Sadbh and there
were times where she did good and others that were not so good.
After her friends left we headed inside for trach
care. Sophia helped out again and did an even better job today. Sadbh was also
very helpful and did everything I asked making trach care go as smoothly as
possible.
She was looking tired after trach care but she did
not want to go down for a nap. Instead she had a fun afternoon playing and
reading books with Sophia.
Bedtime was easier since she had not napped and Sadbh
was fast asleep long before Helen’s shift started.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
