Sadbh was wide-awake at half past six and ready to
get her day started. Harjinder was able to keep her in bed for another hour and
a half.
She was not pleased to see me coming through the door
as she was expecting Katie to come down wearing her glasses and her hair up in
a braid. This is part of Sadbh’s favorite weekend routine.
She needed to be suctioned but refused. The more
upset she got the more secretions she built up in her trach. Katie came down to
help calm Sadbh down and it worked. It was very stressful for everyone and I’m
not sure what Harjinder thought of the situation.
Once Sadbh had calmed down it was fairly easy to
clear her airway and soon she was in a much better mood.
She spent the rest of the morning carrying out trach
care and trach changes on a bunch of her dolls.
She had a brilliant time.
Before her own trach care we headed down to the
basement to play with her camps. She found a couple of torches and pretended
that we were out in the woods at night and she had to find and cook food for
dinner.
Trach care went well and as soon as we finished we headed
off to meet up with Clodagh and friends for a play of Hansel and Gretel. She
loved the play and had a great time exploring the displays at Molbak’s
afterwards.
Since we were out in Woodinville we popped in to say
hi to Neil and Denise. Sadbh was in her element as she got to play with
Denise’s kids’ toys.
On the way home we were playing a CD of a band called Rubble Bucket. Sadbh fell in love with one of the songs, carousel ride, so we had to listen to it over and over as loud as possible all the way home. It's a great song so she obvously has good taste in music.
Sadbh had a bunch of chocolate at Denise’s house and
she was wired to the moon by the time we got home.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
