Sadbh’s update – day 223


Our babysitter worked out great and Sadbh slept great. Once we got home, it was time to bring all the equipment, along with Sadbh, up to our room.

Sunday morning was quite lazy and Sadbh got to spend the morning cuddling with mummy and daddy in bed.

When it came time for trach care, Sadbh was quite tired and slept through the whole procedure. She woke up immediately afterwards and since we couldn’t get her back to sleep in her cot, we brought her up to our bed and we all took a quick nap.

Later this evening, Katie was on the phone with her father in San Francisco and when it came time for Howard to chat with Sadbh, her eyes lit up and she started grinning from ear to ear.

She did the same thing when we Skyped with my sister in New Zealand and when my sister started clapping to Sadbh, she copied her and started clapping back to my sister.

When have been thinking long and hard about our options after meeting with Dr. Inglis on Tuesday, and since we are seeing slight improvements, especially after hearing her voice yesterday, we have decided to stay the course and wait for her vocal cords to mend naturally. We can always change our minds if we so desire, however we both feel confident that things will improve eventually and that we don’t want to compromise her voice or any further damage by resorting to surgery or any other form of treatment.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
