Sadbh’s update – day 333 March 9th, 2012


Sadbh slept fairly well last night, but Katie did have to take care of her a few times through the night.
Eventually at 4am, Sadbh joined us in bed, and that’s when she wanted to play.
I woke up to a gentle tapping on my shoulder and when I looked over, Sadbh was thrilled.
It took some effort, and almost an hour to get Sadbh back to sleep.

By 7:30, she was ready to get out of bed, so Katie brought her downstairs for breakfast of bananas and cereal.
She made such a mess, but loved every minute of it.

Sadbh’s monthly trach change was scheduled for this weekend, and since she was getting quite tired after arriving home from work, we figured there was no time like the present.
As usual, she really enjoyed her bath and got to relax while Katie read her a bedtime story.
It did not take long for her to fall asleep, so we started off with trach care. She was quite restless as we cleaned and conditioned her neck, but when it came time to change out her trach, she relaxed and allowed us to get the job done.

It’s definitely getting easier to change out Sadbh’s trach each time, but it is still extremely nerve wracking and by the time we are done, we are exhausted.

Sadbh is such an angel, and slept for another hour after trach care.

It was time for dinner when she woke up, and for dinner she had chicken, carrots and mango for desert. She’s got a good life and eats extremely well.



Have a great weekend,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
