Sadbh’s update – July 2nd, 2012


Sadbh had a great night sleep and Larissa only had to suction four times throughout the night.
Thanks to Larissa, Katie and I also got a good night sleep and this allowed Katie to get the much-deserved rest to allow her to get better.

Sadbh formed a sentence this morning after she woke up. When she saw Larissa, she did the baby sign for “Mommy more sleep”.
She was excited to see Katie and I when we came into the room and after nursing, it was time to play for an hour or so.
She had a great time playing and reading a whole bunch of books that my parents sent over for Christmas.

She was ready for her first nap of the day by 7am and did not budge until 9:30.
She had a huge appetite and devoured her breakfast.

Nadia was working today and since Sadbh was feeling a little better, they all headed out for a walk.
This did wonders for Sadbh and she enjoyed every minute of being outside.

It was time to head home for trach care after a couple of hours and as soon as they arrived home, it was time for Sadbh to have her bath.
She really enjoyed her bath and while Nadia was drying her off, she decided to pee on poor Nadia.
Trach care went well for the most part, however at one point Sadbh had a serious coughing fit. Nini and Nadia were able to keep her calm and more importantly asleep.
She had a nice long sleep afterwards and woke up in a great mood.

She had a big lunch and once she was finished, it was time for the fun and games to start.
Sadbh was definitely in a much better mood than the last couple of days.
She still needed to be suctioned a number of times throughout the day, but all in all she is well on the road to recovery.

Bedtime was very stressful tonight, as Sadbh would not go to sleep. She would doze off, but then would wake up and want to play. This went on for almost two hours and eventually she drifted off shortly after Larissa started her shift.
She was still very restless, so hopefully she will end up getting a good night sleep.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
