Sadbh woke up early after a good night and was up the
stairs in record time.
She wanted to wake Nana and Granddad up but we had to
persuade her to allow them to sleep in a little longer.
Granddad was up shortly after Sadbh however Nana was
not feeling well so she stayed in bed a little longer.
After breakfast Sadbh and Granddad got busy reading a
bunch of her books. Sadbh initially wanted to watch TV or play with her toys
but as soon as she settled in next to Granddad she was in her element.
Ali-Baba and Kirk came by to see Nana and Granddad
and Sadbh was happy to see them.
After lunch it was time for Sadbh to have a bath and
then trach care. She had fun playing with her toys in the tub and soon she was
dried off and bundled up for trach care.
Everything went well and once we were finished it was
time to head down into the basement to play with Nana, Granddad and her toys.
She was pretending to be a patient and wanted
Granddad to be a doctor. For some reason she wanted to spend five days in her
pretend hospital.
I had arranged to drop Neil to the airport and Sadbh
came along for the spin. The weather was terrible and unfortunately the traffic
was worse.
Sadbh was in a great mood regardless and we both had
a fun making each other laugh until she got bored and fell asleep. She slept
for thirty minutes or so, all while wearing her trach cap.
She woke up just as I was picking Neil up.
Earlier I had told her that Kipper the dog, along
with his friends, lived close to where Neil was travelling. She got excited and
started asking Neil if he knew where they lived and if he might see them.
I even offered her the chance to go with Neil to se
Kipper and his buddies but she declined and explained to us both that she had
to stay as she cannot fly because of her trach.
The drive home was fun as the two of us kept each
other laughing.
Sadbh was delighted to be home and got busy playing
with Granddad.
She needed to be suctioned tonight and this gave us
an opportunity for Granddad to practice. It’s been a while but he did great and
hopefully he will not have to suction too often while he is here.
By bedtime Sadbh was wired but it took a while to get
her off to sleep. Thankfully she fell asleep just moments before the nurse
arrived. She fell asleep with her
cap on again. Hopefully, she’ll
wear it for awhile tonight.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
