Sadbh’s update – day 278 January 14th, 2012


Sadbh had another great night’s sleep and slept right through until morning. She then joined us in bed after her breakfast, and slept soundly for another few hours.

Our friends, Sarah and Gerry’s son Dylan turned 1 on the 13th, so we headed over to celebrate his first year birthday today. All of Sadbh’s friends were there and she had a great time hanging out.
Clodagh was so cute as she was happy pretending to be a pony while giving Sadbh a pony ride.

Since she had been awake for a few hours, we figured it would be best to keep her awake for the drive home so we could manage trach care when we got back to the house.
Her monthly trach change was scheduled for Sunday, so we decided to take care of it today as part of trach care.
We were successful in changing out her trach and she hardly budged throughout.

We are so lucky that Sadbh is used to our routine and usually sleeps throughout the ordeal.
Both Katie and I are part of a few trach baby e-mail groups, and a lot of kids fuss and fight while having trach care or even trach change carried out.
It’s already a very stressful thing to deal with, and I couldn’t imagine how much worse it could be if Sadbh was awake and resisting us.

Afterwards, all three of us took a nice nap.

She had a wonderful evening as she spent it playing with her two grandfathers.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
