Sadbh’s update – day 343 March 19th, 2012


Sadbh slept well until almost 4am, and then started to get a little bit restless. Larissa was working the night shift, and was able to take care of our princess.
Apparently, she stood up in her sleep, and later she did the baby signs for milk, all while sleeping.
She finally woke up a little after 5am, and was ready for breakfast.
She was still quite tired, but she had a coughing fit and appeared to be in quite a bit of pain.
Katie and Larissa gave Sadbh some Tylenol, and shortly thereafter, she was fast asleep.
She had us worried for a few hours after falling back to sleep, as her breaths were very shallow and her blood oxygen level was in the low 90’s, which was not normal for Sadbh.
Eventually she stabilized and everything was ok.

There was no nurse today, but Sadbh did not seem to mind since she had Nini and Granddad to play with.
Ali-Baba popped by to join in on the fun, so Sadbh ended up having a fun day with everyone.

Trach care was straight forward enough today, and Sadbh slept through the whole thing.

She had a very short nap in the evening and woke up just after I arrived home from work.
She awoke happy, but her mood quickly changed and she spent most of the evening upset.
I’m sure her two new teeth must be causing her some pain, and also being on the tail end of a cold must not be much fun either.

Sadbh’s bedtime has been getting later and later, so tonight we made a serious effort to get her to bed at a decent hour.
She made things easy for us and by 7:30 she was ready to hit the sack. It took a little coaxing to get her to sleep, but once her little head touched her pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.



Take care,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
