Sadbh’s update – April 12th 2013


Sadbh had yet another beautiful night and woke up shortly after 7 in the greatest mood. Apart from the sound of her air compressor running the house is completely silent and we all have been able to sleep soundly without the usual sounds of living in the city.
Katie and I occasionally check on Sadbh during the night to ensure that she is not getting tangled up in her cords.

Sadbh had a very lazy but fun day. After breakfast she got stuck into a few of her new books and enjoyed being read to by Cammy.
Later on she even got to paint with Nana and she was very careful not to make a big mess.

When it came time for trach care Sadbh was looking tired and called out to Katie to start trach care. We were all surprised but we soon realized that she only really wanted to watch Kipper.
Trach care went well considering that she was awake throughout but we were disappointed that she did not want to take a nap even though she was clearly exhausted.

After another round of playing in the living room Granddad and Nana convinced Sadbh to go for a walk with them. Ten minutes later she was fast asleep in Granddad’s arms and as soon as she was out he placed her in the stroller for a more comfortable sleep.

Sadbh was in a great mood when she arrived home and was full of energy. It was time for dinner and as soon as she was done she wanted some birthday cake.
I cut off an appropriate slice for her but she refused that and wanted the rest of the cake for herself. She loved it and was soon covered in frosting. I’m sure she was buzzing with all the sugar also.

After dinner she could see the moon about to disappear behind the hills so she waved and bade it good night.

She still had a lot of energy when it came time for bed but was soon fast asleep cuddled up in her cot.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
