Sadbh’s update – November 17th 2012


Sadbh slept surprisingly well despite being upstairs with us and only woke up a couple of times.
She joined us in bed sometime after 5am and by 7 she was wide-awake and ready to get up.

Sadbh got to watch Sesame Street after breakfast and was intrigued with Oscar the grouch.
After she was done with the telly it was time to play hide and seek.
Nana and Granddad joined in on the fun and Sadbh had a very fun morning.

Trach care was a little later than usual and Sadbh slept right through it.
She had a few sores around her neck so we dressed them and secured her trach tie.
Despite being in a deep sleep she flinched every time we touched one of her sores.  She even said “owwa” out loud once.  It is heartbreaking to see those sores under the trach ties on her little neck.

Unfortunately, she woke up as soon as she was placed into her bed so it was back downstairs and time for lunch.

It was a very wet afternoon so we headed off to Northgate Mall and hoped that Sadbh would fall asleep along the way.
No such luck and shortly after we arrived she wanted to get out of her stroller.
We bumped into my friend Jen and Sadbh got very shy although I think she was preoccupied with trying to figure out a way to get out of her stroller.
Later on when we finally gave in we noticed that her trousers were down below her bum due to all the wriggling.
She was fascinated with all the shoe shops at the mall and she tried her best to go into each and every one of them.
Obviously I need to find other exciting things to do with Sadbh on wet days other than going to the mall.

We even bumped into Granddad, Nana and Ali-Baba up at the mall and Sadbh could not stop smiling. It was hilarious as she was using her camera pose smile.

She finally fell asleep on the trip home so we had to be as gentle as possible when taking her out of the car. She did not stay asleep for long and was soon wide-awake and full of energy again.

Since she had such a late nap, it was 9pm before she finally fell asleep.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
