Sadbh
needed to be suctioned a number of times throughout the night and even before
Helen arrived she coughed herself awake.
She
had a decent enough night considering all the coughing and woke up bright and
early just after Helen’s shift ended.
After
waking up, she snuggled with Mommy for an hour or so and I suctioned her trach approximately
every five minutes. Eventually we gave her a saline nebulizer and once we were
done with that we brought her upstairs to the shower so she could breathe in
the steam to help with her secretions.
Despite
all the coughing and extra suctioning she had a fun day and was in a very good
and playful mood.
Her
energy ran out after her bath and she fell asleep as we got her ready for trach
care. She slept for two hours before finally waking up.
She
needed a lot of suctioning during and after her nap and she even helped Jenna
suction at one point by applying pressure to the suction catheter.
Sadbh
was still very groggy but soon we both got busy baking in the kitchen. She is a
pro at beating an egg and getting all the ingredients ready. I was very
impressed.
She
was very energetic this evening and thankfully she wore herself out in time for
bedtime.
After
some snuggles with both Mommy and I, she jumped into bed and drifted off to
sleep in no time.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
