Sadbh’s update – March 18th 2013


Sadbh had a good night and Julie managed to cap her trach a couple of times. The first time she lasted for an hour and ten minutes, however she started to cry four minutes into the second capping so Julie replaced it with her trach guard so she could go back to sleep.
She’s actually getting more comfortable wearing the cap now when she wears it during her sleep.

She had a nice sleep in this morning and woke up at 7:20. She was in an excellent mood and was delighted to see Katie.

Sadbh was just about to start breakfast when her new nanny, Amy, knocked on the door. Sadbh greeted her with a big smile.
After breakfast they all headed out for a nice walk and Sadbh insisted on searching for cats and dogs.
She had a great time and after a while was starting to get tired.

Sadbh enjoyed her bath as usual and was soon fast asleep in Nana’s arms. Trach care went well and Amy was able to stand by to learn. She will soon be taking over when my parents leave next month.

Sadbh slept for two hours and woke up very happy and could not wait to play with Amy again.
They both had a great afternoon and when it came time for Amy to go home, Sadbh, Nana and Granddad walked her to the bus stop so Sadbh could see the bus. She was thrilled when the bus arrived.

Sadbh’s evening was spent playing with her toys and she had a great time. For some reason she wanted to wear my motorcycle helmet and when she was done she wanted me to wear it.
She is getting so much better at forming sentences and every day she surprises us with something new.

At bedtime Sadbh kept calling out for Arnold who is one of the characters on her favorite cartoon Kipper. She was exhausted tired but kept fighting it. It took over an hour of her flopping around her cot before she finally gave in and drifted off to sleep, a very tired little girl.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
