Sadbh had another good night but shortly before 6 I
discovered that her humidifier saline bag was bone dry. I was surprised that
the humidifier did not alarm but I should have noticed it before she went to
bed. Thankfully her airway did not seem to dry out and when she woke up a
couple of hours later she was in a very good mood.
Sadbh had a fun morning with all her friends and
later they all got to head down to the beach for some fun in the sun.
Katie and I took turns watching over Sadbh to make
sure she did not get sand or water near her trach. It was a stressful few hours
but Sadbh had a wonderful time and really enjoyed playing on the beach.
Once home it was time to hose off the sand and get
ready for trach care. Sadbh was exhausted and allowed us to manage trach care
without any difficulties. As soon as we finished she lay back on the bed and
fell into a much-needed sleep.
The rest of the evening was spent playing with her
friends and after nightfall Sadbh and I headed out with Clodagh and Dylan to
search for crickets. Sadbh was all excited and very happy to use her bright and
shiny flashlight. We found a couple of crickets but they were buried too deep
in the bushes for us to get them.
Bedtime was very late and Sadbh was not a happy
camper. It took a great deal of effort by Katie to get her off to sleep but
eventually Sadbh dozed off.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
