Sadbh’s update – March 22nd 2013


Sadbh did another two and a half hours with her trach capped last night. It was over two sessions and she did great each time.
By 6:40 she was wide-awake and excited for her day to start.

Sadbh was hungry for breakfast so she hung out with Granddad while Katie got ready for work.

Amy worked today and after breakfast Sadbh spent the rest of the morning playing with everyone.
Later they all headed out for a walk through the neighborhood. Sadbh was happy to be out and about and by 1pm she was fast asleep and ready for trach care.

Katie, Amy and I had a training appointment with Jackie, Sadbh’s respiratory therapist, at Children’s hospital. The appointment was for Katie and I to brush up on our CPR skills and for Amy to get trained on emergency trach changing and suctioning.

Sadbh slept for over two and a half hours and woke up very happy. It was time for food and for the fun to start again.

Katie and I interviewed two potential night nurses this evening and thankfully both nurses seemed good. Sadbh even got to meet them and after about 5 minutes of being very shy she started to warm up to each of them.


As soon as they both left it was time for Katie and I to have fun with Sadbh. We had a great evening and Sadbh received quite a few tickles from the tickle monster.

Bedtime was also fun as Katie red a few books to Sadbh.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
