Sadbh’s update – October 19th 2012


Sadbh slept very well last night and while she only needed to be checked on a couple of times, Katie did suction once. She joined us sometime after 3am and took over half of the bed pushing me to my usual 2 inch strip along the edge.

Sadbh was so cute snuggled up to Katie when I headed out to work this morning. I had to tippy toe out so as not to wake her.  She ended up sleeping until 7am.

As soon as she was up it was time for breakfast. To begin with she was very picky and did not each much, however a short while later she was ready to fill her belly and it was time for a second and more substantial breakfast.

As soon as her second breakfast was finished it was time to get dressed for the day and Sadbh got dressed up in a lovely floral dress and looked as cute as a button. Ever wonder why one would consider a button cute?

Anyway, Caity worked today and Sadbh was delighted when she arrived. It was time for the fun and games to continue and Sadbh had so much energy.

It was a pleasant enough morning so they all headed out for a walk through the neighborhood.
They returned just in time to manage trach care and Sadbh slept for two hours. During the weekdays her routine is really good and it is very easy to schedule trach care as long as there are two people available to manage it.

Sadbh had a very fun afternoon and could not stop laughing. She wore her Passy Muir Valve for most of the day and was yapping like crazy.

When I arrived home she could not stop saying my brothers name. We need to Skype with him this weekend so she can put a name to the face.

Shortly after I arrived home, Sadbh and my parents headed off out for a long walk. Sadbh was very happy to be out again and was fascinated with all the beautiful colors of the leaves on the ground.

Sadbh’s evening was spent playing with Katie and myself. She had so much fun running around chasing us. She was in a very lovely mood and could not stop hugging and kissing us.

Sadbh learned how to say, “I love you” today and just as she was getting ready for bed she could not stop saying it. Even more impressive was the fact that she was not even wearing her Passy Muir Valve.
It is really amazing how many words that she can vocalize even though she’s only 18 months old.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
