Sadbh’s update – September 3rd, 2012


It was a much better night for Sadbh and she only joined us in bed when she got a little bit cold. She didn’t even wake up and slept soundly until shortly after 7am. Despite being in a king bed, it obviously wasn’t big enough to escape Sadbh’s kicking throughout the night.

Her morning started off great as all her friends greeted her as soon as she entered the living room. The fun and games commenced as soon as everyone had finished having breakfast.

Since the weather was still quite hot everyone headed straight for the pool to cool down.
Unfortunately, Sadbh can’t swim in the pool like the other kids since she has a trach, however this did not stop her from spending the morning splashing around.

Eventually the excitement got the better of her and Sadbh started to get a little tired. Katie and I headed up to the room and started to get everything ready for trach care.
Once she was dried off from her bath and had been changed into fresh pajamas, Sadbh drifted off to sleep in no time.
Trach care was very easy and Sadbh slept on for almost two hours.

Once she woke up it was time for lunch and then back down to the pool for some more fun with her friends.
She had a great time and kept me busy following her around the pool. It was fairly stressful at times when she got to the edge of the pool, but the smile on her face was worth it.

Later on it was time to head back up stairs and all the kids thought it would be great fun to play runaway knock at the front door. It was a lot of fun to watch the excitement with all the kids and it was quite the relief that none of them thought to leave a burning diaper at the door after ringing the doorbell.

As soon as we got Sadbh changed into her pajamas, she dropped off to sleep within minutes. The excitement and fun of the day obviously wore her out.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
