Sadbh’s update – January 1st 2013


Sadbh was very unhappy and uncomfortable throughout the night. Between the loud fireworks and her not so comfortable pack and play for a bed, Sadbh did not get a good night sleep.
When she finally woke up her trach sounded quite dry so after a number of suctions we managed to extract some thick mucus plugs.
Her airway was instantly cleared and she was able to breath a lot easier.

Sadbh and I headed downstairs for breakfast and Sadbh kept asking to watch some “wheels on the bus” videos on You Tube. This kept her entertained while I prepared her breakfast.
We both had a great morning and despite the rough night, Sadbh was in a great mood.

She eventually grew tired and asked to have a bath.
After a nice warm bath, Sadbh was ready for her bed and was off to sleep in no time.
Trach care went, but Sadbh only slept for 45 minutes.

As soon as she was awake it was time to play with Poppy before his flight back to San Francisco and Sadbh had a lot of fun.
Before we knew it, it was time to head to the airport.  After we said good-bye to Poppy we headed off to Greenlake for a walk in the sunshine.
Sadbh started off in the stroller but wanted to walk after a while. It was a very slow walk since she wanted to wave and smile at everyone that passed.

She had another good evening and was very tired when it came time for bed. Just after washing up and brushing her teeth, Sadbh started asking after Nana and Granddad. Our nightly ritual is after she’s changed into her pajamas and has washed up, she would go around kissing everyone good night. Tonight is the first time in who knows how long that it’s just the three of us in the house and it was obvious that Sadbh noticed the difference.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
