Sadbh’s update – February 9th 2013


Katie and I went out to watch a movie after we got Sadbh off to sleep and Granddad and Nana looked after her until Julie arrived.
Sadbh woke up at 10pm just when Julie arrived. Granddad was quick to get her back to sleep, but moments later she was wide awake so Julie took over. It did not take long before Julie had Sadbh back to sleep and thankfully she slept great until just before 6am.

Typically I take over from Julie in the mornings, however since Sadbh was awake so early Katie headed down to take over. Sadbh was in a really good mood and she said thank you to Julie as she left.

After breakfast Sadbh came up to bed but demanded to watch the telly. She wasn’t happy with Curious George and really wanted to watch her wheels on the bus show.
Since it was my turn, both of us headed downstairs so she could watch her favorite show.
Sadbh was delighted when I pulled out her iPad and turned on Wheels on the bus. She devoured her second breakfast and was so happy with herself.

It was a damp cool day so Katie and I decided to organize the basement. Sadbh has so many clothes and toys and they take up so much space.
Nana and Granddad were very helpful and looked after Sadbh while Katie and I got busy organizing and clearing out the basement.

Before we knew it a couple of hours had flown by and it was time for trach care. Nana and Granddad bathed Sadbh and within no time she was in a deep sleep and ready for trach care.
Her neck was looking quite tender on the right side so Katie applied a dressing to allow it to heal.
She slept right through trach care and on for another hour and a half.

Katie and I were still busy spring-cleaning so Sadbh joined us in the basement as we organized. She had so much fun playing with all her toys.
Somehow she found a life jacket and immediately wanted to wear it. It fitted perfectly and she wore it for the next three hours.
It was a great evening and between the three of us we all accomplished what we needed to get done.

When it came time for dinner Sadbh insisted on helping out. We had no choice but to allow her to mix in the salad dressing and I have to admit it was a great salad.

Sadbh was exhausted when it came time for bed and was fast asleep in no time.
I hope she has a better night sleep tonight and that she sleeps in a little later than she did this morning.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
