Sadbh’s update – July 10th, 2012


For the first time in over a week, Sadbh had a wonderful night sleep. She slept like a log and did not have to get suctioned once. She was so relaxed, her heart even dropped down into the 80’s.

She did have a slight coughing fit after waking up, and she did throw up a little, but she was in a great mood and was ready for the day to start.

Destiny was working today and all three women spent the morning out playing in the back garden.

Ali-Baba stopped by later in the morning and her timing was perfect. Sadbh was just getting ready for her nap so Ali-Baba gave her a bath and read to her while drying her off. Before no time, Sadbh was fast asleep, so Nini and Destiny managed trach care.

Sadbh slept on for an hour after trach care and was in a very good mood when she woke up.
It was time for lunch and she had a mighty appetite.

Nini and Destiny also noticed that Sadbh was making a lot of sounds through her mouth, even without the use of her Passy Muir Valve.
As a result they tried using the PMV, however Sadbh did not want to so she pulled it off each time they placed it on her trach.
It was another beautiful day, so Sadbh, Nini and Destiny went for a long walk around the neighborhood. Sadbh was thrilled and really enjoyed being outside again.

Katie and Nini had plans to meet some friends for a sailing trip this evening, so I got to spend the evening at home playing with Sadbh.
She was still in a great mood, despite not having a second nap and she had so much energy.
At one stage I was showing her some of the videos that Nini shot earlier in the day and she could not stop trying to kiss herself in the computer monitor. It was so funny.
Later she got a hold of my mobile phone and she looked like a very busy individual talking on her phone.
It’s amazing how quick kids catch on to things and how they are to be used.

Sadbh was in bed and out like a light in no time tonight. She was wrecked tired and fell asleep in my arms as soon as I had her bundled up in her pajamas.

It seems that she is over the worst of her cold and cough and is now able to sleep well throughout the night.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
