Sadbh’s update – July 19th, 2012


Sadbh was turning cartwheels all night, however she was in a deep sleep and did not wake until after 6:30.
She had no desire to go back to sleep and was very eager to start the day.
She had a mighty appetite and really enjoyed her breakfast.

After she was done with breakfast it was time to read some books with Nini.
She loves her books and cannot get enough of them.

Nadia was working today and Sadbh was happy to see her.

Since Sadbh was awake so early this morning, trach care was much earlier than usual. Sadbh dropped off into a deep sleep right after her bath, so Nini and Nadia were able to manage trach care without any problems.
Sadbh slept on for over an hour and woke up a very happy little girl.

Sadbh has a new nurse starting tomorrow, so today she got to job shadow Nadia for a while. She was accompanied by one of the agency nurse supervisors and Sadbh was very excited with all the activity in the house.

She took a shine to the new nurse straight away so grabbed her hand for a tour around the house.

After the two guests left, it was time for Sadbh to go out for a nice long walk with Nini and Nadia.
It had turned out to be a fantastic day and Sadbh was in her element as they strolled throughout the neighborhood.
Later on she dozed off to sleep and had a nice nap for 30 minutes or so.

I arrived home to a very happy little girl and soon afterwards we loaded Sadbh and all her equipment and headed downtown to meet Katie for some shopping.

Downtown was full of people and Sadbh was waving frantically at everyone she saw.
In the clothing store she was flirting with all the salesmen and she really took a shine to a couple of male mannequins. It was so funny to see her try to grab their hands.

On the way out she fell in love with a purple purse and wanted to kiss it. I honestly don’t know if I should be laughing or scared for the emerging diva that we are raising.

Nini and Nadia had tried out the Passy Muir Valve a few times throughout the day today and Sadbh did fantastic. She even made a load of loud sounds while wearing her artificial nose. She’s really enjoying the sound of her own voice and I cannot wait until she gets a few more words down.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
