Sadbh’s update – February 2nd 2013


It was a rough night sleep for Sadbh. Her temperature and other vitals were good, but she kept waking up and was very unhappy.
Julie was great and managed to get Sadbh back to sleep each time, however, by 6am Sadbh was wide awake and had no desire to go back to sleep.

She had a wonderful morning and despite the restless night she was full of energy and very happy.
Trach care came early today and Sadbh only napped for 20 minutes.

Since it was still quite early we decided to head to the zoo. We have been a few times in the last year or so, but each of those times Sadbh was a lot younger and did not really understand what was going on. Today she was very aware of all the animals and was able to relate to each of them from what she has learned at home. It was great to see her reaction to each of the animals and the excitement on her face.

Later we came across a carousel and thought Sadbh would enjoy going for a ride. Granddad volunteered to go along for the ride. It all went great until the thing started to move and suddenly Sadbh got very upset. She no longer wanted to be there but they could not get off until the ride was over.
It was heart breaking to see her bawling her eyes out every time she came around, and you could tell it was very upsetting and stressful for poor Granddad also.
Thankfully the ride did not last too long and Sadbh was soon a happy little girl in her mummies arms again.

She did get a quick nap during the drive home but it was not enough.
The rest of her evening was spent playing with Nana and Granddad since Katie and I had a guild meeting for the High Five Sadbh Guild.
She was fast asleep by 8:15 and thanks to her meds she was also a lot more comfortable.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
