Sadbh’s update – January 4th 2013


It was a much better night for Sadbh but Julie had to suction a few times throughout.
She woke up just as Julie was finishing her shift and was very eager to get as many cuddles in before Katie left for work.

Both Katie and Sadbh had a really fun morning but Sadbh had a tough time when Katie finally left for work.

Nurse Caity worked today and after Sadbh settled down they both headed off for a nice long walk through the neighborhood. Sadbh was happy to be out and about.

Later in the day Sadbh and Caity went out for another walk and this time they headed up to Capitol Hill. Caity brought Sadbh to Café Presse for lunch and Sadbh had a lot of fun.

In the past Sadbh would pull at her trach to push my buttons. Over the past few days she has started doing this again and tonight she pulled her nose off four times. She certainly has figured out the best way to get me going.

Later in the evening after both Katie and I got home we headed up to visit our friend Teri in hospital. We explained to Sadbh what was wrong with Teri and for the rest of the evening Sadbh had a pained expression on her face and kept saying “Teri owie”.

We managed trach care after Sadbh went to sleep tonight and unfortunately she woke up shortly before we had her trach ties secure. She was very fussy but we were still able to secure her ties and get her back to sleep eventually.

It was a very long day for her and hopefully she will get a good night sleep.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.

P.S. Get well soon Teri!
