Since Sadbh was up so early yesterday morning we
asked Kim if she could turn out the lights and remain quiet from six am onwards
so as to encourage Sadbh to go back to sleep if she woke up early. This worked
this morning and despite waking up early Sadbh nodded back to sleep until
shortly after seven.
When she woke up Sadbh was very confused, as she
could not find anyone in her room. I was keeping an eye on Sadbh through the
baby monitor and she just sat there on the side of her bed looking around the
room. When I finally came into the room I found Kim hiding behind the chair
trying to keep out of sight of Sadbh. It was the funniest thing I have ever
seen and I explained to Kim that if Sadbh wakes up anytime after seven it was
ok to chat with her and get her up.
Sadbh and I had a much better day today but it was
extremely exhausting, as she wanted to play with me every minute of the day.
We got to Skype with my parents back in Cork and
Sadbh got to wish her Nana a happy birthday and tell her how much she loved
her. It was very sweet.
The rest of the day was fun and after playing in the
garden for a while we headed back inside for some food and to read a bunch of
books.
Trach care was stressful tonight as Sadbh lost her
screen time privileges when it came time to get ready for bed. We usually plug
Sadbh in and allow her to watch ten to twenty minutes of her favorite cartoons
on the phone while we do trach care. This keeps her calm and allows us to get
the job done easily. Unfortunately, since she lost her viewing privileges she
got very upset and we had to wrestle with her to get her neck clean and the new
polymem and trach ties on.
Once we finished up I got her laughing again and then
it was time for a bedtime story from Mommy. Before she knew it she was out like
a light.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
