Sadbh’s update – July 7th, 2012


Sadbh had yet another restless night sleep, but fortunately she did not require much suctioning.
She joined us in bed shortly after midnight and I found myself having approximately one foot of space to sleep on for the rest of the night. Between both women, I have completely lost my placement in my bed.
That said, Katie ends up sleeping with Sadbh’s wires and humidifying hoses wrapped around her, so I think we have both lost to Sadbh’s dominance.

We headed up to Capitol Hill to take care of our grocery shopping for the week, and Sadbh had the easiest role to play in the whole task. She enjoyed the sunshine and the ability to flirt with everyone she met along the way.
She was ready for her nap when we arrived home so it was a perfect time to start her bath and get her ready for trach care.

She had a nice long nap and after she woke up she had a quick lunch and it was time to head out on the lake for a spot of boating.
Aidan, Brian, Dee and Neil joined us for the trip and both he and Sadbh were in their element.
One of the customs of boating is to wave at other boaters and Sadbh seemed to have this figured out right from the start. She could not stop waving at everyone she saw out on the lake, and she was thrilled when everyone waved back to her.

Sadbh had a wonderful day and she seemed to benefit from being out in the sunshine rather being cooped up inside the house.
Her cough has improved over the past few nights and by bedtime tonight she dropped off to sleep without any fuss.
We all had a great day and hopefully Sadbh will continue to have a great night.



Take care,

Wayne, Katie and Princess Sadbh.
