Sadbh’s update – August 3rd, 2012


Around midnight, Sadbh woke up and was standing in her cot looking for us to take care of her. Katie brought her into bed with us and despite being a little bit restless; she slept between us for the rest of the night.

She was in a deep sleep when I left for work and didn’t even budge when I kissed her good-bye.
By 6:15, she was wide-awake and ready for breakfast and the day to start.

She had a huge breakfast and afterwards she and Nini started playing in the basement until Audrey started her shift.
Audrey has only worked with Sadbh during the night since she came back and Sadbh was thrilled.
Audrey took care of Sadbh during our wedding last year and she took fantastic care of our baby.

Ali-Baba stopped by for a visit and the excitement only got better for Sadbh.
Unfortunately, her visit wasn’t for long since Sadbh had an appointment with her cranial sacral therapist, Dr. Cavnnaugh.
Her session went well and Audrey was a great help trying to keep Sadbh distracted so Dr. Cavanaugh could work his magic.

By the time Sadbh arrived home, it was time for her bath and trach care. Everything went great and Sadbh slept for an hour.
She woke up quite cranky, but soon cheered up as soon as she had her lunch.

The weather today was fantastic, so Sadbh and her entourage headed off to the park to play on the slides and swings.
She wore her Passy Muir Valve for almost two hours and did great.

All of a sudden the Blue Angels flew overhead with a roar. Sadbh was blown away and could not stop looking up at the sky while making the sign for airplane.

Later on she took another nap and after she woke up she immediately make the baby sign for airplane. Maybe she wants to be a pilot.

I brought Sadbh out for a walk shortly after arriving home from work and we bumped into our neighbors a few doors down.
Sadbh was thrilled to get to play with Maya and tried to keep up with her as she ran around the garden.
Maya is almost a year older than Sadbh and is quick on her feet.
Sadbh had a great time and it was very obvious that she really enjoyed playing with Maya.

She had a tough time going to bed tonight and seemed to be very uncomfortable.
We expect that we will have a long night ahead since she is sleeping with us, but we hope its nothing more than gas or a new tooth coming in.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
