Sadbh’s update – February 11th 2013


Sadbh slept like a log all night and did not wake until 5:45. She was in a great mood and was delighted to see Katie pop her head into the room.

Sadbh’s new nanny started today and since it was also her birthday Sadbh helped Katie draw a birthday card.

When Kat arrived, Sadbh was quite shy and did not seem too interested in spending any time with her. However, by the time Katie left for work, Sadbh was much happier and was having fun with Kat.

It was a very busy morning and later on they all head out for a walk through the neighborhood. Sadbh got very excited when all of a sudden they turned the corner and there were a couple of buses in front of her.

Katie headed home during lunch to help with trach care and thanks to a very playful morning, Sadbh was asleep in no time.
Trach care went well and soon Katie was heading back to work as Sadbh was fast asleep in her cot.

Two and a half hours later Sadbh was awake and very hungry. She had a huge dinner and afterwards she was ready for the fun to start.
Granddad brought out some cup cakes just before Kat’s shift ended and Sadbh’s eyes almost popped out of her head. She immediately asked for “chocolate” with the biggest grin on her face. Needless to say, she scoffed down half a chocolate cup cake and ended up with chocolate smeared all over her face.

We tested the trach cap not long after I returned home and Sadbh did great for almost an hour. You could still hear strider when she breathed, however she maintained her composure quite well and seemed very happy playing with her bubbles and water.

She was in a very playful mood all evening and was very excited when Katie arrived home.
The fun and games continued until bedtime, but it took an hour and a half to get Sadbh settled down to sleep.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
