Sadbh’s update – day 287 January 23rd, 2012


Even though Sadbh had a nurse for the night, she had another restless night sleep, and her heart rate did not drop far enough to indicate that she had a deep sleep whatsoever.

Our nurse figured that it’s possible that Sadbh is either fighting a small bug, or could be teething.

Thankfully, Katie did get a good night sleep and didn’t wake up until 5:30 when we called her down to feed Sadbh. She was obviously in a very deep sleep, because when I called her down the third time, she answered by telling me that she had already been down.
It turned out that she had a very vivid dream where she had come down when I called her the first time and she had a full on conversation with the nurse.

We did not have a day nurse today, so Katie’s mother came over later in the morning to help my father with trach care and to hang out and play with Sadbh.

Later in the afternoon, my father got to take Sadbh out for a nice long walk up to Madrona and by the time he got there, she was fast asleep.

I got home a little later than usual today, and when I arrived, a very sleepy little girl greeted me. She had just woken up moments beforehand, and was ready for her bottle.
After her bottle, it was playtime and Sadbh was very busy crawling around playing with all her toys.
She was so excited to see Katie come through the door and couldn’t wait to get into her arms.

Just before bedtime, Katie read her a couple of bedtime stories, and even though she was very tired, she did not want to miss out on any of the action.
She was very interested in the stories that Katie read her and couldn’t keep her eyes off of her mum.
When it was time to go to bed, she did not object and was asleep in no time.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
