When Sadbh’s new nurse, Mary, started last night we
told her about Sadbh catching her finger in the door. It was a very minor
incident and it was probably the shock that freaked Sadbh out the most.
Mary needed to know all the details of the “accident”
so she could update the information into the nurse’s log. Such is the world
that we live in.
Sadbh had a good night and slept like a log. I took
over from Mary at half past six and twenty minutes later Sadbh was awake. She
was in a good mood and hung out in her bed for another half hour or so.
When she finally climbed out of bed she quickly
unhooked all her equipment and got dressed and ready for breakfast.
Once breakfast was over it was time for home school.
Sadbh initially did not want to go but Mommy made it a lot of fun and soon
Sadbh was really enjoying herself.
Part of today’s class involved a science experiment
mixing yeast with hydrogen peroxide. It was a fun project that we named
“elephant toothpaste” and Sadbh could not wait to get it going.
It was a very easy experiment but it did not seem to
work at first. It took a little more time than expected but soon the reaction
between the different materials started to produce warm foam that poured up
through the bottle. Sadbh was over the moon and as soon as she realized that it
was safe to touch she could not wait to get one of her ponies into the foam.
We had a wonderful day and after home school we
headed out into the garden to play in the warm sunshine. Sadbh met her friend
Charlie walking down the street so she invited her to play in the back garden.
The two girls had a lot of fun and competed with each
other to see who could dig the most amount of gravel. It was a good time and
Sadbh was sad to see Charlie go.
When Sadbh was done digging up half the garden it was
time to head in and get cleaned up for trach care. She was getting tired but
was still in a very good mood for the rest of the evening.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian
