Sadbh’s update – May 21st, 2012


Sadbh had a fantastic sleep and according to Larissa, it was the best night since she started working with Sadbh.
She did start to get a little bit restless just after midnight, but she settled down quickly and slept right through until 6:15.
Since Sadbh had such a great night sleep, so too did Katie.

Sadbh had a nice big breakfast as soon as she got up and once she was done it was time for the fun and games to begin.
She even used baby sign to let Katie know that she needed to be suctioned.
Since she had a nice long sleep and a big breakfast, Sadbh had a lot of energy. Thankfully Destiny was working today so both she and Nini took turns in playing with Sadbh.

Trach care was very straight forward today since Sadbh was exhausted tired when it came time for her first nap of the day and she passed out right after her bath.
Sadbh slept for almost two hours and was full beans when she woke up.

She had a big lunch that included spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, peas, avocado and potatoes.
Shortly after she was done with lunch, it was time to test her Passy Muir Valve. Unfortunately, she did not tolerate it too well and did not last more than a minute.

It was a very wet day here in Seattle, but Nini, Destiny and Sadbh got a chance to go for a stroll through the neighborhood for a while in between rain showers and Sadbh was very happy to get outside.
The fresh air was great and soon Sadbh was fast asleep.

She had a ferocious appetite when she woke up and was very happy to feed herself. She is a very messy eater, as any 13 month old would be, so we have to make sure her trach is well protected from getting covered in food.

Sadbh had a great evening and did not fuss when it came time to go to bed.

In response to Sadbh’s two and a half month stay at Children’s Hospital Seattle, our friends established the High Five Sadbh Guild to benefit uncompensated care for patients that do not have sufficient health care coverage.

We have set up a membership drive for Thursday June 21st from 7-9pm.

All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
