Sadbh’s update – December 14th 2012


Sadbh did not stir all night and slept soundly until she woke up shortly at 6 just as Julie finished her shift.
She was in a great mood and had a nice big breakfast. Afterwards, she wanted to wear her trach cap and about 15 minutes later she announced that she was “all done”.

She had a great morning and later on Su Jin stopped by to work for a few hours. Sadbh loves Su Jin and was delighted to see her.
It was a nice sunny day so they all got to go out for a walk through the neighborhood. 

Trach care was a little later than usual and Sadbh slept for an hour afterwards. Granddad noticed that she was still very tired so he cuddled her for a while until she fell back to sleep.
She slept for another hour and a half.

With such sad news coming from Connecticut today I could not wait to get home to give Sadbh an extra big hug and a kiss.
I met Sadbh and my parents about a block from the house and as they piled into the car I managed to steal a couple of kisses from Sadbh.
We had a fun evening and Sadbh was very playful. It was hard to keep up with her at times.

Later when Katie was putting her to bed they were going through their nighttime ritual where Katie names all the people who love Sadbh. Just as she was finishing up Sadbh said “Santa?” in which Katie answered, “Yes, Santa loves you”.
With that she said, “yup” and dozed off to sleep.


It’s hard to comprehend what happened in Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School today and how so many innocent lives were tragically taken. This senseless act has affected so many and will leave people wondering why.
I suppose one silver lining in this dark horrible cloud is that there are so many kids that received an extra few hugs and kisses from their parents today, however it should never take a tragedy like this to initiate that.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
