Sadbh managed to wear the PMV on her trach for almost
seven hours. She woke up about half an hour before Helen’s shift ended and was
not one bit pleased.
She was very attached to Mommy this morning and was
extremely unhappy when Katie had to leave for work. It took almost an hour to
calm her down and before she was happy again.
I managed to convince her that if she got dressed and
came out for breakfast that we would head off to the beach as soon as she
finished breakfast. This did the trick and soon we were heading down to Madison
Park.
As we got ready the Blue Angels were practicing
overhead. They buzzed by the house numerous times and Sadbh and Sophia were so
excited with the loud sounds and sight of the planes flying by.
Sadbh kept calling them the “Blue Belle Angels” from
a book she received from our friend Helen that contained a Blue Belle fairy
named Bella that lived in our garden. It was so funny and every time a plane
went by Sadbh would point and shout, “there is a blue belle angel”.
Our timing for the beach was perfect and it was not
too packed. Sadbh was ready to get straight into the water and since I brought
my swimming togs I was able to bring her out a little deeper than before.
We had so much fun building sandcastles on the shore
and we even built a big pond running along side the castles.
We had a great time but all of a sudden we were
surrounded by twenty or so young kids from a summer camp. Sadbh and I were
literally smack bang in the middle of all these kids as they splashed each
other and threw sand all over the place. This would normally be completely
fine, but with a trach we had to finish up and get back onto dry land, fast.
Thankfully, Sadbh was fine with this and after a
quick clean up it was time for lunch.
Trach care went very easy today and Sadbh was very
content watching Curious George on my phone.
Shortly afterwards Mommy arrived home so we could
take Sadbh to her acupuncture appointment. By now she was getting very tired
and a little bit cranky but when it came time for her appointment she was
fantastic.
Sadbh’s friends, Cormac and Clodagh, came by for a
play date this evening and the three kids had a wonderful time playing in the
garden.
Bedtime was so easy as Sadbh was completely and
utterly wiped out from her hectic day.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
