Sadbh’s update – February 18th 2013


Sadbh had another wonderful night and woke up in a great mood at 6:20. Granddad was watching her on the monitor as he prepared her breakfast and she was very happy playing in her cot. She got very excited as soon as he popped his head in the door and it was the start of a great day.

Sadbh had a huge appetite and immediately got stuck into her breakfast. When her belly was full it was then time for the fun and games to start. Sadbh had a lot of energy and was lucky that Nana and Granddad could keep up.

It was a lovely morning so later on Sadbh, Nana and Granddad went out for a nice walk. Sadbh was very happy to be out and she even came across a few dogs.
Not long after Sadbh arrived home, Ali-Baba and Kirk stopped by to say hi. She was excited to see them. They all headed down to the basement to play with Sadbh’s train set and other toys. Just as Sadbh was showing off her train she heard the door opening and she instantly knew who just arrived home. She was beside herself and kept shouting up for us to come down.
We both received the biggest and tightest hugs from Sadbh as she smiled from ear to ear.
With that we took over playing with Sadbh for the next hour until she was ready for her nap.

She could not keep her eyes open and after a nice bath she was soon fast asleep. Trach care went well and she slept on for almost two hours.
The trach ties have been bothering her for the past few days and we have been finding little scratch marks on her neck.

After Sadbh woke up from her nap it was time for some food and once she was done eating we all bundled into the car and headed off to Fremont for a walk.
We all had a great time and Sadbh got to pose in front of the statue of Lenin, the Fremont Rocket and all the houseboats on the lake. Sadbh was fascinated with everything especially the houseboats.

Just before dinner she was going through some letters that I received recently and she found one for the guild for Children’s hospital. She was studying it intensely and could not put it down. Not sure what caught her attention so strongly, however out of all the letters it was interesting that she found that one.

She had a wonderful evening and went to bed very tired. It was the ended of a great long weekend and Katie and I were so grateful to my parents for taking care of Sadbh and allowing us to take off for the night.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
