Sadbh’s update – April 17th, 2012


Katie woke up a number of times throughout the night to Sadbh standing up in her cot looking for attention.
Each time, Sadbh ended up with a quick snack and her trach suctioned, and then it was back to sleep for another hour or so.
It’s fortunate for Sadbh that Katie is such a light sleeper.

Sadbh had a great day with her Grandparents and Nini, and even got to head up to Trader Joe’s to get some groceries.
Just before they headed off out for their walk, they received a visit from the nursing agency supervisor to recertify Sadbh. During this visit, the nurse used Sadbh’s ear thermometer to take her temperature, but was completely lost as how to use it. It was a great source of entertainment for all in the house as they watched the nurse pass the thermometer across Sadbh’s forehead.

The day flew by, and later in the evening Sadbh got to practice using her Passy Muir Valve. She did not tolerate it for more than a minute, and she ended up getting sick.
She had a runny nose this evening, so we think she’s fighting a cold and this could be hindering her ability to tolerate the PMV.

Bedtime could not come soon enough for Sadbh tonight, and once her little head touched her cot, she was out cold.



Take care,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
