Sadbh’s update – March 2nd 2013


Sadbh slept great and managed to tolerate 16 minutes of having her trach capped.
By 5:30 she was wide awake and having fun with Julie. When I came down just before 6 Sadbh did not want Julie to leave but had no choice since her shift was over.

She had a wonderful morning and got to catch up on her favorite cartoon, Kipper. One of the episodes had pig chewing a few different gob-stoppers and when he rolled it out on his tongue (each time with a different colored tounge), Sadbh could not stop laughing.

Overall she had a fun packed morning and when it came time for trach care she was exhausted. She slept right through and on for almost three hours.

As soon as she woke up myself and Granddad loaded up the car and headed up to Lynnwood for a motorcycle exhibit. Sadbh was delighted to be out of the house and at first she was happy to see all the bikes. She did get a little scared later on but found a couple of bikes that she liked and was happy checking those out. It did not take long for Sadbh to get bored but she did find some really cool paintings on the wall that she insisted on checking out.

The drive home was long due to really bad traffic, however Granddad kept Sadbh well entertained the whole way home.

Katie and Nana arrived home not long after us and Sadbh was quick to tell them that the motorcycles scared her. She did pull out the catalogue for Ducati and showed us all the bikes that she liked as well. Happens to be the one I like too.

When it came time for bed we put on the trach cap to see how well she would handle it going to sleep. She did ok but eventually her heart rate started to climb and she felt uncomfortable so we took it off. After that she fell asleep really quickly.

She had a fantastic day and both Granddad and I had fun being able to bring her to the bike show.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
