Sadbh’s update – September 8th, 2012


Sadbh had a very rough night and was up and down all night.
By 7am she was wide-awake and raring to go. She was in a great mood and was adamant that we got up also so we could enjoy the fun.
Somehow she managed to get a hold of all four of her binkies and was rotating each of them. I had no idea where they all came from but it was a funny sight to watch.

After breakfast our friend Andrew stopped by for a few minutes. Sadbh heard his voice before she saw him and she immediately made the baby sign for him.

Katie had an appointment mid morning so Sadbh and I got to spend a few hours together with nothing but fun on the list of things to do.
Later we headed out for a walk and by the time we got to the shops Sadbh fell fast asleep.
Typically we try to manage trach care during her first nap, but since she was so tired and without a second set of hands, trach care had to wait until her next nap.
She slept for almost an hour and woke up with a huge smile on her face.

Once Katie arrived home, the fun and games continued and we headed out into the back garden. As I watered the garden, Sadbh was fascinated with the hose and was thrilled every time I gave her a little splash. She couldn’t get enough and kept coming back for more.

All the fun wore her out so we brought her inside for a bath and she fell fast asleep as soon as she was in her nice warm pajamas.
Trach care went by easy for the most part although it was fairly obvious that Sadbh has a few tender areas around her neck that we have to keep an eye on.
Both Sadbh and I napped for almost an hour and a half afterwards and as soon as we woke up it was time to head out up to Capitol Hill for a stroll.

As usual, Sadbh could not stop flirting with everyone she passed and she received so many complements.
On the way home we stopped off for ice cream and of course Sadbh almost devoured the entire thing.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
