Sadbh woke up at two this morning and was desperate
to come up stairs. Harjinder managed to get her back to sleep and she slept
soundly until shortly after six. They both hung out chatting until I came down
at quarter past seven.
I disconnected Sadbh from all her equipment and after
seeing Harjinder off we headed up to Mommy and Cillian for a sleep in.
Unfortunately our sleep in did not last long as Sadbh was itching to get the
day going.
Sadbh had a busy morning and by lunchtime she was
looking very tired.
Katie and I managed trach care and as soon as we were
done we loaded up the car and headed out to run a few errands.
As expected, Sadbh fell asleep fairly quickly allowing
her to get the rest she deserved.
Since Sadbh has so much medical equipment that needs
to accompany her wherever she goes we decided to go to REI to try and find a
suitable backpack that will allow us to consolidate everything into one bag.
The bags that we have used all along have served
their purposes but now that we have Cillian’s baby stuff to carry we figured it
would be a good time to find a new solution.
It took looking through a lot of different backpacks
but with the help of one very dedicated sales woman we finally found a great
bag. The bag needs a large compartment at the top to hold and protect Sadbh’s
suction machine and at least four other compartments to hold her emergency
trachs, two oxygen bottles, an Ambu bag and the rest of her trach supplies.
We landed on a camera bag that fits everything
perfectly allowing us to consolidate from two bags to one.
After that we headed over to the bike section so
Sadbh could check out a potential birthday present. She has a couple of trikes
at home but never really enjoys riding them. Today she found a bike just her
size with stabilizers on the back and she took off around the store. She was a
natural but she has to work on watching where she is going.
We arrived home just in time to watch the Super Bowl.
Sadbh was very excited for the Seahawks and wanted them to win.
It was a great game with a disappointing outcome and
until she went to sleep she kept asking why did the Seahawks not win.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian
