Sadbh’s update – day 341 March 17th, 2012 St. Patrick’s Day


Sadbh had a rough night and needed to be suctioned a number of times through out the night.
At 5am, she had enough sleep, and was determined to get out of bed. It took almost an hour of hard work to get her back to sleep, and thankfully she slept soundly until almost 8:30.

When Sadbh awoke, she realized that Katie was not in the room and she had the saddest look on her face. She was making the baby sign for milk, and was about to start crying when all of a sudden Katie walked in, and saved the day. As you could imagine, Sadbh was over the moon to see her mummy.

We had a surprise brunch treat for Granddad this morning at the restaurant atop of the Space needle.
It was a typical wet Seattle morning, however by the time we arrived at the Seattle Center, snow started to fall. When we were seated in the restaurant, you could not see a thing out of the window with the amount of snow falling.

Sadbh did not mind since she was receiving so much attention from all the wait staff. She was such a hit, and she even had our waiter playing peek-a-boo with her.

The weather started to clear halfway though brunch and Sadbh got a chance to look at the incredible view of Seattle around us.

By the time we arrived home, the excitement of the morning had gotten the better of her and it was time for trach care.
Thankfully everything went really well, and Sadbh enjoyed a nice sleep for just over an hour.

When she awoke, it was time for food and afterwards she got to wear her lovely Bavarian dress that she received from our friends the Uhl’s last August.
Little did Sadbh know, but she was about to meet Nina Uhl again.
Nini has been very gracious by volunteering to be Sadbh’s Au Pair for the next six months.
She has taken time off from her studies in Munich to come look after Sadbh after my father returns home to Ireland in a week’s time.

Sadbh had a great evening getting to know Nini and showing off all her new tricks and her new tooth that is starting to poke out.

It was very late before Sadbh got to bed tonight, and we had to work hard to get her settled in.
She seems to be over the worst of her cold, but she still has a nasty cough and needs a lot of suctioning.

Katie is now starting to come down with a cold, and we are hoping that she can kick it before it’s too late.



Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
