Just around 2am, Katie was called down by the night nurse to feed Sadbh.
An hour later, Sadbh was all bundled up and back in a deep slumber.
At 6am, I took over from the nurse and thankfully Sadbh was still in a nice deep sleep.
40 minutes or so passed before she started to stir, and when she woke up, I found her peeking over at me with a big smile.
I disconnected all her equipment and brought her up to Katie for her breakfast.
Within 20 minutes, she was bundled back up and fast asleep in her cot.
Over the weekend, our friend Suzie lent us a jump-up seat that hangs from the doorframe, and today Sadbh got to test it out. She was in her element and couldn’t stay away from it.
At times it looked like she was practicing dancing the river dance.
Trach care was very quick today since she was exhausted and she allowed us to blast through it in less than thirty minutes.
After she woke up from her nap, my father took her out for a nice long walk up to Madrona and to a great viewpoint overlooking Lake Washington and Mt. Rainier.
Shortly after she got home, it was time for another nap, so Granddad bundled her up and put her to bed.
She didn’t nap for long and when she woke up, I was confronted by Princess Angry Bird.
Actually, it was heart breaking, no matter what I did to console Sadbh, she just cried and cried. She was so upset that all you could hear is her deep breaths through her trach, and occasionally leaking through her mouth.
Eventually after she was fed, she calmed down and was ready to play yet again.
It’s hard to see her so upset, however we are so lucky that this is rare as she is typically a very happy baby.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
