Sadbh’s update – November 29th 2012


Thankfully Sadbh had a great night sleep. She woke up shortly after midnight and put her arms up to Julie to be picked up. Julie explained that she should go back to sleep, Sadbh shrugged her shoulders and plopped back down to sleep.

She slept right through until 7am and woke up very happy and in a playful mood.
Shortly afterwards Katie turned on the radio and the Stone Roses was being played. Sadbh put on her hat and started dancing. She then spotted Katie’s hat hanging out of her coat pocket so she grabbed it and placed it on Katie’s head and both ladies kept dancing to the music.

Sadbh was having so much fun that she did not stop for breakfast until 8:30.
After she was full, it was time to head down to the basement to play again.

Later in the morning they all bundled up and headed out for a walk. The weather was very changeable so Sadbh and her entourage stayed within a couple of blocks of the house.
I’m sure it was quite the sight to see three adults being led around by a 19-month toddler.

Trach care went well this afternoon and Sadbh slept for almost two hours as she cuddled her cat Meow. She woke up in a great mood and after a bite to eat the fun continued.

Just before dinner as Sadbh drew with her crayons, she asked for bubbles so we capped her trach and started blowing bubbles in the bathtub. She was in her element and tolerated the cap for over 10 minutes.
This was a great result considering that we had not capped her trach since the weekend.

Just before bedtime she got all excited and wanted to dance throughout the house. She insisted that Katie and I join her and it was so much fun.
All the dancing tired Sadbh out and when it came time for bed she was in a deep sleep within no time.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
