Sadbh’s update – March 17th 2013


Sadbh slept great and even tolerated having her trach capped for an hour and ten minutes.
Granddad took over from Julie at 6am and kept a close eye on Sadbh until she woke up at 7:20.
She was looking for Katie when she woke up but was very happy to be hanging out with Granddad instead.
They played and had a big breakfast together and she was a very happy camper.

Katie and I were extremely grateful for the chance to sleep in and Sadbh was in a fantastic mood when we arrived downstairs a couple of hours later.

Sadbh went to mass with Nana and Granddad and she was all dressed up in a beautiful green and white dress that she received from her friend Conor’s grandmother, Marion. She looked beautiful and showed off her Irishness in full splendor.  

Since it was her second mass in as many weeks, Sadbh was getting familiar with her surroundings and was a little more adventurous. Granddad was certainly on his toes keeping up with Sadbh but all in all she was fairly well behaved.

Trach care went well as Sadbh was very tired. Her neck looked good despite the redness from the trach ties.
Sadbh woke up very unhappy after a two-hour nap. As soon as she laid eyes on Katie she started to laugh in delight and quickly cuddled into her.

After a quick lunch we loaded up the car and headed to the Seattle Center for the Irish heritage show. Sadbh was delighted when she heard the music and could not wait to join in on the dancing.
There was a great atmosphere and it was not long before Sadbh was tapping her foot to the Ceili tunes. I have a feeling that Sadbh might have a future in Irish dancing.

Later we headed over to West Seattle for dinner and Sadbh was still beaming from her afternoon. She was in flying form and could not stop smiling and clapping.

Sadbh fell asleep within 15 minutes of going to bed but woke up moments later. It took almost an hour to get her to sleep afterwards.



All the best agus lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
