Sadbh slept great but woke up a little earlier than
Katie and me. We were hoping for a little sleep in but Sadbh was wide-awake and
wanted to get up. In order to get a little sleep in we plugged Sadbh in to
watch Kipper and Katie and I got a chance to sleep in a little longer.
After breakfast we joined the rest of the gang and
headed down to the beach. We covered Sadbh’s trach up with a bandana to keep it
protected from the sand. As soon as we arrived she wanted to wear her bikini
and since it was kind of cold the only way I could appease her was by putting
her bikini on over her clothes. It worked and soon Sadbh was off running into
the surf. This was unexpected and before I knew where I was I was up to my
ankles in water, despite wearing my runners.
Sadbh had so much fun running in and out of the surf
and as soon as she rejoined her friends she was knee deep in sand and water.
It was so much fun watching the kids enjoying
themselves on the beach but it was definitely stressful making sure that
Sadbh’s trach and airway was kept clean and free from sand.
After a couple of hours it was time to head home. We
gave Sadbh a bath to wash off all the sand that she smuggled off of the beach
and when we managed trach care we found a lot of sand around her trach, but we
were able to clean it up.
The rest of the evening was spent playing with her
friends and making s’mores by the campfire.
Bedtime was much later than usual and Sadbh was out
cold before we were able to get her home.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
