Sadbh’s update – December 29th 2012


It was a rough night and Sadbh was extremely restless, however thanks to Julie she slept right through.
She finally woke up at 6:30 and was very eager to start the day with her two cousins.

Sadbh could not get enough of her cousins and grandfather and they were so good playing with her all morning.
Ali-Baba arrived just as I was changing Sadbh’s nappy and Sadbh almost jumped out of her changing table with excitement when she realized who was there. She could hear Ali-Baba singing to her from the living room and immediately started to dance to the familiar tune. It was very cute.

I was convinced that Sadbh was ready for her nap but she and Ali-Baba spent the next half hour or so playing with the new kitchen. Both of them had so much fun.

Eventually she did get tired so Katie and Ali-Baba gave her a bath while I got everything ready for trach care.
Thankfully Sadbh was asleep in no time and we were able to manage trach care without any problems.

She slept for just over an hour and woke up upset. It did not take long for her to cheer up as soon as she laid her eyes on Hayato and Kaito. Before she knew it, they were all off playing in the living room.

It was a wet day so after lunch we all headed off to an indoor sports arena so the boys could have fun and burn off some energy.
As soon as we arrived they headed into the inflatable playground.
Sadbh watched her older cousins bouncing and sliding around the place and eventually she wanted in on the action. She was timid at first and very cautious, however once her cousins took her under their care she was having a blast and was soon sliding along with them.
She got braver with each slide and it wasn’t long before she was heading down the biggest slide in the park.
All three kids had a fantastic time and were absolutely exhausted when it was time to leave.

We made it home just as the lad’s parents and younger sister arrived from Portland. Sadbh was so excited to see everyone.
It was a fun evening and Sadbh had a great time, although she did start to get tired around 6:30 so the last few hours before bedtime were hard for her.

Julie is working again tonight so hopefully Sadbh will get a better night sleep after all the excitement today.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
