Sadbh’s update – October 3rd 2012


Sadbh slept great last night and her blood oxygen level and heart rate were perfect all night.
Larissa did a great job looking over her and keeping her from getting tangled in all the wires.

Sadbh woke around 6:20 and had a big smile on her face. I got to play with her for a while until Katie came down and as soon as she saw Katie coming down the stairs, she had enough of me.

Sadbh’s new nurse, Caity, was working today and I stayed home for the first half of the day to make sure she had everything she needed.
Sadbh really likes Caity so I guess she has passed that test.
After Sadbh was done with breakfast they both headed out into the garden to play. Sadbh got busy in the garden picking tomatoes and she even managed to pick a pear.
It worked out great as the tomatoes came in handy for dinner tonight.

Even though she had a great night sleep, she looked very tired all morning. Eventually she started to get very fussy so we started the trach care ritual. Sadbh fell into a deep sleep as soon as she was done with her bath making trach care very easy.

Katie arrived home to take over from training no more than five minutes after we were done. It was perfect timing and it allowed me to head off to work for the afternoon.

Sadbh did not sleep for long after Katie arrived home and was obviously delighted to see her mummy peaking in through the door.

After lunch Sadbh got to head off up to the park in Madrona for a walk with her nurse and she was thrilled to be out and about.
Thankfully they found the right park so it was a much easier walk for Caity than the long walk she had on Monday.

We had a very busy evening getting the house ready for Granddad and Nana to arrive. Unfortunately, Sadbh was way too tired to stay up and fell asleep about five minutes before I arrived home with them.
Needless to say my parents were delighted to see Sadbh and I bet they cannot wait until tomorrow morning when they get to surprise her when she wakes up.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
