Sadbh’s update – March 11th 2013


It took a long time for Sadbh to get to sleep but when she did she slept like a log.
Julie capped her trach a couple of times and Sadbh did great. The first time she lasted 25 minutes and the second time she lasted only 14 minutes. She started to get restless on the second try so Julie switched it for her guard allowing her to fall back into a calm sleep.

The time change over the weekend really threw Sadbh off and she woke up shortly before 8am in a wonderful mood and ready for breakfast.
She had a big breakfast and even wore her trach cap for an hour and a half.

It was a pleasant day so Sadbh, Nana and Granddad all headed out for a walk through the neighborhood. It was good to get her out of the house and into the fresh air. She really enjoyed being out and being able to stretch her legs.

Trach care went well and Sadbh slept for almost two hours. She had a big lunch when she woke up and got to wear her trach cap while watching Kipper on the TV.

Sadbh had a fantastic evening and was in a very playful mood. We had another nanny candidate visit tonight so Sadbh hung out in the basement playing with Nana and Granddad for a while as Katie and I met the potential nanny.
After 45 minutes or so I brought Sadbh up to meet the nanny. She was very shy at first but within a couple of minutes she was back to her playful self, running around having as much fun as possible. She really took a shine to the nanny and it seemed that the nanny took a shine to Sadbh also.
Let’s be honest, it’s hard not to.

Bedtime was hard again tonight with Sadbh fighting to stay up. She would not go to sleep and it took almost two hours to finally get her off.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
