Sadbh woke up shortly after six and after a quick
chat with Harjinder she went back to sleep for another hour. Once unhooked from
all her equipment she bolted past me in the hallway and headed up the stairs to
Mommy. Once upstairs she declared to Katie that “Harjinder freed me from my
equipment”.
Sadbh came down asking to be suctioned. Her trach
sounded very goopy and it took quite a few suctions to clear her trach. Her
secretions were very thick but still clear so it did not look like an infection
or anything serious.
She found a bunch of quarters in our bedroom and she
could not wait to fill up her piggy bank. She was well proud of herself and
took off around the house looking for more coins.
Sadbh was sad when she realized that Mommy had to go
to work today but we had plenty of fun activities planned.
After home school and lunch it was time to head out
to the shops for groceries and the likes. It was cold but very sunny so we took
a detour and headed up to Volunteer Park for a stroll.
Sadbh had so much fun sliding around on ice, checking
out the ducks and searching for monsters in the wooded areas. We had such a
great time.
I was hoping that Sadbh would be ready to relax when
we got home but no such luck. She was full of energy and was desperate for the
two of us to head down into the basement to play with her toys. I was exhausted
from all the running around, especially running all the errands.
She was kind enough to allow me five minutes rest.
Once dinner was done with it was time for a few books
and then Sadbh got to watch some TV. It was getting close to bedtime so Katie
and I managed trach care and got Sadbh ready for bed.
She was very tired so it did not take long before she
was fast asleep. Katie had to suction just as she was going to sleep and this
time her secretions were thinner and fine.
We were supposed to meet a new nurse tonight however
the agency failed to get back to us with a confirmation. I e-mailed earlier in
the afternoon and did not get a response so we had to follow up with a phone
call. Turns out that the nurse that was supposed to meet us has not yet been
fully through the on boarding process with the agency so it might be another
week or two before we can meet her.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
