Sadbh’s update – day 324 February 29th, 2012


Sadbh had a rough early part of her night.  She seemed to be suffering from pretty painful gas and ended up sobbing in her sleep for over an hour.  It was heart breaking to see her little face shriveled up and watch her silently cry. 

Both Larissa and Mommy were on the case and after an hour or so of snuggles with Mommy, she finally fell back into a deep sleep.  However, she continued to be restless through out the night.  She finally woke around 5:30am and again asked for Mommy and milk with her hands.

Daddy has a business trip to Las Vegas this week and was up early to get ready for the airport.  Sadbh and Daddy had some early morning playtime and soon after Daddy left, Sadbh was snuggled back in bed.

She woke up again at 9am and was happy to see Molly and Grandad waiting to play with her.  It was a cold and blistery winter day so the three were homebound.

In the early afternoon, Sadbh got to Skype with her family in Ireland.  Nana Pauline, Dodo, Uncle Ger and Aunt Ann were all there and Sadbh enjoyed showing them her new tricks. 

Once they had Skyped for awhile, it was time for trach care.  Sadbh was so exhausted that she slept on for over 2 more hours.

Sadbh had an amazing appetite today.  She might be going through a new growth spurt and needing more fuel to keep her going. 

This explains the weight gain they tracked at Children’s yesterday.  Sadbh weighed in at 17 lbs 2 oz up from 16 lbs 10 oz at her last pediatric appointment.

She sure misses her Daddy and hopes he wins big on the roulette table in Vegas!   But mostly she just wants him to hurry home.



Take care,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
