Sadbh’s update – November 25th 2012


Sadbh woke up at 10pm and did not want to go back to sleep.
She was thirsty for water and after she was asked if she was hungry she replied with “yeah!”.

She had no intention of going back to sleep so we sat up and watched a little Sesame Street for a while.
By midnight and after a humongous poop, her eyes were starting to get heavy so we all headed up to bed.  She drifted off into a deep sleep and slept well until 6am.
Katie did have to suction Sadbh’s trach around 2:30am, but other than that Sadbh slept well. When she woke up at 6 she joined us in bed and slept until 9:30.

After breakfast, the fun and games started and Sadbh had a great morning.
Trach care was much later today than usual since Sadbh slept in so late.
She was getting tired but we decided to head down the street to a local Christmas tree seller to get our Christmas tree. Sadbh was delighted to be out of the house and in the sunshine. She was fascinated with all the trees and couldn’t believe her eyes when we started off walking home carrying one of the trees.

After arriving home and getting the tree into position it was then time for Sadbh’s bath and trach care. She could not stop saying “tree” and was walking around the house with a huge smile on her face and making the sign for tree.
It did not take long to get her to sleep and once she was out trach care was quick and easy. She slept for over two hours and as soon as she woke up she could not wait to get into the living room to check out the tree.

Her evening was full of excitement and after dinner she had chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. She couldn’t get enough and by the time she was done she had more dessert on her hands and face than she did in her belly.

After dinner it was time to get back to work on the tree and Sadbh was very helpful. We did learn very quickly to keep the fragile ornaments up high and out of Sadbh’s reach. This was a result of Sadbh reaching up and grabbing a glass snowman and chucking it into the corner.

Sadbh was in a great mood when it came time for bed. She gave everyone a big hug and a kiss before going to sleep.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
