Sadbh’s update – December 8th 2012


It was another good night for Sadbh. She did wake up once during the night and after a nice back rub from Julie she fell right back to sleep.
I took over from Julie at 6am when her shift ended and Sadbh slept on for another 30 minutes.
She was in a really good mood and wanted Katie so I disconnected her equipment and we both headed upstairs.

As expected, she had no desire to sleep so we tried hard to keep her in bed. She got to watch some PBS cartoons but eventually got bored of that so it was time to head downstairs for breakfast.

She had a great morning and wore her trach cap a few times throughout the morning. She managed to wear it for almost 2 hours overall throughout the day.

She was very tired when it came time for her nap but she had no desire to leave her bathtub. After a little bit of a fuss we were able to get her into a warm towel and dressed for bed. I was leaving the room so Sadbh wouldn’t be distracted but as I was just about to close the door she shouted after me and said “daddy, sit!” so I did and she gave me a huge smile.
Trach care was very straightforward and she slept like a log for an hour and a half. Her neck looked great and the sores from last week appeared to have healed quite well.

Our friend Jean was performing an acoustic set in a music shop in Fremont later in the evening so we brought Sadbh with us and she loved it. Jean played for almost an hour and Sadbh danced and clapped like crazy. She did get bored a few times, but she did great for a 20 month old.

She had a wonderful day and was quite tired when it came time for bed. Thankfully Julie is working again tonight so we are sure Sadbh will get another good night sleep.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
