Sadbh was not happy to see me this morning when she
woke up and wanted Katie instead. I soon changed her mood by pretending to be a
mouse and by nibbling on her arm and back. Soon she was laughing her heart out
and was in a much happier mood.
I was even able to get her dressed before she headed
up to Mommy.
Sadbh had an appointment with her cranial sacral
doctor, Dr. Cavanaugh first thing this morning and the visit went well. He was
able to work on her skull and noticed that there was some significant growth
since the last visit.
Ali-Baba and Kirk stopped by around lunch to help
with trach care and to get a refresher course on Sadbh’s medical equipment and
suctioning incase they need to care for Sadbh if baby Taco comes early.
Sadbh devoured her lunch in record time and was soon
looking for Ali-Baba to head down to the basement to pay some more.
Later in the day Sadbh asked why we left Aibhin’s
birthday so quickly a couple of weeks ago. I explained that we noticed that
there was a kid with a runny nose at the party and we left so that she would
not get sick. She then asked if next time we would ask the mother of the kid
with the runny nose to hold the kids hand and leave so Sadbh could stay. I
explained that we could not do that since we did not want people to feel that
they should stay away from parties because of us. She seemed to accept it but I
think deep down she is still wondering why.
It was a very insightful conversation and I was taken
back by how she must have been thinking about this for the past couple of
weeks.
Katie and I had a couple’s yoga class for expecting
mothers tonight so Harjinder came early to look after Sadbh.
Sadbh was excited to get to spend “awake” time with
Harjinder and by the sounds of it the two of them had a great evening. Sadbh
was out fast when it came time for bed.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
