Sadbh’s update – November 22nd 2012


Sadbh slept well and woke up at 5am, a little earlier than usual.
Her new nurse, Julie, took good care of her until we went down at 5:45 and Sadbh was in a very good mood.
We hoped that Sadbh might want to join us for a sleep in, but she was too excited and wanted to play.
By 7am she was back downstairs and getting ready for her breakfast.

Since it was Thanksgiving, it was a very busy morning and Sadbh got to take turns playing with each of us.
By 10am she started to get very tired so Katie and Granddad started the trach care proceedings. She really enjoyed her bath and did not want to leave. As soon as she was wrapped in her towel she started to doze off.
Trach care was very straightforward and Sadbh slept for over three hours. We could not believe how tired she was. She sat up a few times during her nap, but she would lay back down and go back to sleep. We were all amazed.

She woke up shortly before Ali-Baba, Kirk and their good friend Kathy arrived and she impressed them all in her lovely dress. She looked fantastic.

Dinner was great and Sadbh enjoyed some turkey and other yummy thanksgiving staples.
She could not get enough ice cream when it came time for dessert and Ali-Baba was more than happy to fill her up with sugar.

Later she got to Skype with her cousins in Portland and Sadbh was impressed with their stuffed monkey and snake. Unfortunately her oldest cousin, Hayato, was sick so she did not get a chance to Skype with him. Hopefully he will feel better very soon.

It was a very fun evening and Sadbh danced and played until after her bedtime. When it came time for bed she was exhausted and had no problems falling asleep.

Julie is working again tonight so hopefully Sadbh will sleep well and maybe for a little longer than she did last night.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
