Sadbh’s update – May 1st, 2012


Sadbh slept well for the most part. She woke up around 3am and just laid there for 20 minutes or so. She was not hungry and did not need any comforting. Larissa sung Sadbh’s favorite lullaby and Sadbh drifted off back to sleep until 6:30. It was a quick snack and went back to sleep 15 minutes later and slept soundly until 7:45.
She must have been dreaming of practicing her acrobatics since she was all over her cot. At one point, she was fast asleep on her back with her legs up on the side of the cot.

When she finally got up for breakfast, she had a huge appetite and ate everything from eggs, to bananas to yogurt with pears on the side.
It’s incredible how much food that girl can put away.

Destiny was working today and Sadbh was excited to get to play with her and Nini.

She had a lot of energy today as she climbed the stairs, with Nini’s help, four times.
I suppose, after such a large breakfast, it was good for her to exercise and burn off some of the food.

She showed Destiny how smart she was when they were looking out the window only to see a plane fly by. Sadbh started jumping up and down while making the sign for airplane.

She had a very, very long nap today and after trach care she slept for 3 hours.
Trach care was very straightforward since Sadbh was in such a deep sleep.

Sadbh had another huge feed once she woke up and was ready for an afternoon of fun.
A short while after her lunch, Sadbh needed to be suctioned. After Nini removed her nose to get ready to suction, Sadbh started coughing hard, and ended up getting sick all over herself.
Thankfully Nini was very quick to react and managed to roll Sadbh over onto her side so she would not get sick into her trach and choke.
It was a very stressful moment for Nini, but Sadbh was fine and according to Destiny, Nini handled the situation extremely well.

Once she was cleaned up, Sadbh was ready for another feed and could not wait to start playing again.

The weather was somewhat good, so they all headed out for a walk. Unfortunately, the weather changed very quickly, so it was a mad dash back to the house for shelter and some indoor fun.

Sadbh had another great day and was full of beans throughout the evening.



Take care,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
