Sadbh had her follow up appointment with Dr. Inglis
today and he was very happy with her progress. He wants to keep her stoma open
until the spring as a precaution but he honestly feels that she will not need to
have her trach placed back in.
He did give us the green light to end using the
Oximeter every night while Sadbh sleeps and she no longer needs her emergency
bag either.
Tonight will be Sadbh’s first night, ever, not having
to be connected to any form of medical equipment.
Our next appointment will be at the end of February
and at that point he will determine if we can close up her stoma or not.
Sadbh got to spend most of last week with two of her
cousins from New Zealand as they made their way back to Ireland on holiday. She
had a wonderful time playing and getting to know Zoe and she doted over Mia,
who is only 2 months old. She, along with the rest of us, also enjoyed spending
time with Trish and Dan and we all miss them terribly now that they have left.
Since Sadbh is now trach free we have enrolled her in
pre-school. She got to meet her teachers last Friday and she is so eager to
start next week. This is going to be good for her, as she really wants to
learn.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian
