Sadbh’s update – day 293 January 29th, 2012


Sadbh slept great and was awake and ready for breakfast at 6am. Afterwards, she wanted to play for a while, however Katie and I were both really tired since we had stayed up late with my father watching movies.

We eventually got her back to sleep for a few more hours, and, by the time she woke up, she was eager to out of bed and downstairs to play with her toys.
Downstairs, she had her breakfast solids and afterwards, she got to play with her toys and Granddad.

After a couple of hours, she was tired enough for trach care, so Granddad and I started the trach care ritual, and Katie took a well earned nap.

Sadbh slept solid for two hours, and when she woke up, she was full of energy again.
We originally had planned to visit our friends Will and Sarah to celebrate their son Conor’s first birthday, however since Conor was on the tail end of a cold, we had to make the tough decision to cancel.
We felt terrible that we could not be there to wish Conor a happy 1st birthday, however we want to make sure that Sadbh does not get sick again.
Happy birthday Conor!

It ended up being a very lazy day here and since the weather was very wet, Sadbh stayed home all day playing with all three of us.

Sadbh got to Skype with her cousins in Portland and she was completely entertained by them.  Lulu even dressed up as a chicken and did a chicken dance, much to Sadbh's delight.

Her pediatrician, Dr. Bowe, had advised us on Friday that we can start feeding Sadbh finger foods, like Cheerio’s and bananas, etc. Today we gave her some Cheerio’s and it was funny watching her try to get them into her mouth. She had good hand-eye coordination, but she definitely needs some practice getting food into her mouth.

She didn’t get to take another nap, and by the time 7pm rolled around, Sadbh was exhausted tired.
It was time for dinner and then as soon as she was done, we got her pajamas on, everyone got to kiss her goodnight and she was off to sleep.

Her night nurse Larissa is on tonight, so we hope Sadbh get’s a good night sleep and plenty of rest.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
