Sadbh’s update – May 24th, 2012


Sadbh slept right through the night again and did not wake until shortly before 6am. According to Larissa, she was like a gymnast in her cot. She was all over the place and got herself tangled up numerous times.

Even though Sadbh woke up shortly before 6am,it didn’t take long before she was back to sleep until 8:45.

Kara was working today, so Sadbh was very excited to have another friend to play with.
Since Sadbh had not seen Kara in a few weeks, she took advantage and showed off her walking and dancing skills.

Later in the morning Sadbh got to Skype with Granddad and Nana back in Cork and when they popped up on the computer she was over the moon with excitement.

Because she had a late lie in, trach care was a little later than normal. Thankfully she slept great so trach care was very straightforward.

After her nap and a bite to eat, it was time to try out her modified Passy Muir Valve. She did fantastic and thankfully Nini captured most of it on video.
Katie and I watched the videos later in the evening and were very surprised with the amount of sweet sounds that she was making.
It was very emotional to watch since I haven’t heard that many sounds ever.

Nini is amazing with Sadbh and we are so happy with how Sadbh is coming along so well.

Sadbh has started to eat dinner with us and would rather eat what we are eating instead of what’s on her plate. Tonight she tried out falafel for the first time and she loved it. So much so she placed a big piece of it on her head.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
