Sadbh had a great night sleep and did
not budge until just after Larissa finished her shift at 6.
She was wide-awake, ready for
breakfast and did not want to go back to sleep.
She finally went back to sleep at
8:30 and slept soundly until 11. Unfortunately, Sadbh missed out on Ali-Baba’s
visit and Ali-Baba had to leave before she woke up.
Destiny was sick today, so Nini had
Sadbh all to herself for most of the day.
Sadbh obviously had a great sleep as
she was in a fantastic mood when she woke up.
It was time for a second breakfast
and afterwards, she was ready to dance to Nini’s music.
For the last couple of days, Sadbh
has been playing with a baby doll that her Nana brought over from Ireland.
Sadbh could not stop hugging and kissing her doll. She even kept stealing her
binky, cheeky monkey.
Sadbh practiced using her modified
Passy Muir Valve today and she impressed Nini with the sounds that she made. I
think she made it easy for Nini since she was in such a good mood.
Sadbh got to Skype with Chris in
Austria during her lunch today, and this worked out great as Chris was able to
keep Sadbh distracted and entertained while Nini prepared her food.
Katie brought Sadbh a beach ball
today and Sadbh had a fantastic time playing with it. She even tried to bite
the ball, which was hilarious to watch.
Trach care was later than normal and
since she was so tired from all the playing around, everything went fairly
smooth.
She slept for almost an hour and a
half and was full of energy once she woke up.
Thankfully her teeth were not causing
her too many problems compared to yesterday. She had a much better day and
hopefully she will have another great night sleep.
Other than being transported from Swedish Hospital on First Hill to Children's Hospital, this day last year was the first time Sadbh stepped foot out doors after her long stay at the hospital. It was also a big moment for Katie and myself as we were only a couple of weeks into our training for trach care and how to care for a child with a trach.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
