Sadbh’s update – day 281 January 17th, 2012


Sadbh slept well until 3am, and then had another restless night, from then on. Thanks to Katie, she slept though the rest of the morning until shortly after 5am. After breakfast, the both fell back into a deep sleep together.

Most of the snow from the weekend had melted throughout the night, so our day nurse was able to make the journey and worked with my father to care for Sadbh throughout the day.

The both managed trach care early in the day, and Sadbh had a lot of fun playing and working on her crawling skills.

I arrived home close to 5pm, and Sadbh had just woken up from a nice nap. She was very excited when I walked through the door and within no time, she was in my arms drinking a bottle.

She was in a great mood and was very playful. Even when I had to lay her in her cot to suction her trach, she was full of smiles and merriment.

Soon afterwards, Katie arrived home and Sadbh grew extremely excited.

By the time she was ready for bed, she was exhausted, so we changed her into her pajamas, hooked up all her equipment and she was in a deep sleep in no time.

Despite the forecast for the worst snow storm within the last decade, our night nurse Larissa has confirmed that she will be here tonight to look after Sadbh, so if all goes well, Katie will be able to get a good night sleep.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
