Sadbh had a coughing fit
free night and her blood oxygen level was perfect. Unfortunately, she woke up
in pain at 3am and it took us an hour to get her calmed down. She was
complaining of a sore ear and was in such pain that she had difficulty
breathing. We gave her oxygen until we were able to give her Tylenol to help
ease the pain.
It took an hour or so to get
her back to sleep and when we all got up in the morning she was still
exhausted.
She did not have an appetite
and soon wanted to go back to bed.
Later in the morning she
woke up hyperventilating and insisted on getting oxygen. Her ear was bothering
her again but this time her blood oxygen was normal. Despite this she was
having major chest compressions and it took both Katie and I to hold her down
so we could give her some more pain medicine.
Katie had contacted Sadbh’s
pediatrician earlier in the morning and made an appointment for the early
afternoon.
Since Cillian was still sick
Katie stayed home with him and I brought Sadbh in to have her ears checked.
By now she was in a great
mood and was feeling much better.
We had to wait a while
before Dr. Hathaway was available and as soon as she looked into Sadbh’s ears
she could tell that one was infected. It was a result of the infection that she
got earlier in the week.
Dr. Hathaway wrote a
prescription for antibiotics and soon we were on our way.
Sadbh had a relaxing evening
and by dinnertime she fell asleep at the table. She was exhausted.
Our friends, Emmanuelle and
Claudio and their kids, Luna and Cora dropped off dinner for us along with a
tasty treat and some gifts for Sadbh. It was such a thoughtful, generous and
yummy surprise and it meant a lot to us.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and
Cillian
