Sadbh’s update – April 23rd, 2012


Sadbh had a good night sleep and only woke up once at 1am for a late night snack.
Within half an hour, both Sadbh and Katie were back asleep.
When I was ready to head out to work around 5:30, I could hear Larissa singing to Sadbh to keep her sleeping. Her heart rate was starting to escalate, so Larissa thought it would be best to switch off the lights and to sing softly to keep Sadbh relaxed. It worked a treat and Sadbh slept for another hour allowing Katie to also sleep in a little.

When Sadbh woke up at 6:30am, she was eager to play, but required a lot of suctioning first.

Molly was working the day shift and Sadbh was in her element with so many people to play with.
She was smiling from ear to ear and was signing up a storm.
For breakfast, she figured out the sign for cereal and kept doing it until she had her fill of cereal.

Nini managed trach cleaning while Molly held Sadbh’s trach in place. Even though she still has moments of nervousness, Nini is turning out to be quite the expert.
She must have been exhausted, because Sadbh slept for 2 hours after trach care.

It was another beautiful day, so as soon as Sadbh was ready, Nini and Molly loaded up the stroller and got ready to for a nice long walk. Unfortunately, Granddad had the spare key, so Nini could not leave the house.
Sadbh explored the back yard instead, and had a great time playing with all the pinwheels.
As she walked around the yard, she started picking up the leaves on the floor and would hand them to Nini as a gift.
Eventually, Nini and Molly’s hands were full of leaves, and Sadbh was one proud baby.

She did not nap for the rest of the day and was surprisingly playful right up until bedtime.
As soon as she was bundled up in her bed, she dropped off into a deep sleep, and will hopefully stay that way for the rest of the night.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
