Sadbh’s update – April 14th 2013


Sadbh slept really well last night and slept on until 7 even after Gerdie took over from the nurse at 6.
She was in a fantastic mood when she finally woke up and was delighted to see Granddad sitting in the chair beside her.

Sadbh had a huge breakfast and after her belly was full it was time to get stuck into some serious fun.
Shortly after noon we decided to get her ready for trach care and were very surprised when she fell into a deep sleep without any fuss.
Trach care was very easy today and Sadbh woke up just as we finished up. Katie was digging for gold in Sadbh’s nose while I was helping try to find it with the flashlight and unfortunately it disturbed her enough to wake her up.

That ended up working out fine as we were able to pack everything up and head out for the afternoon.
The issue with having a trach is that our day does not start until after trach care has been carried out. More often than not we cannot head out until after two or three in the afternoon.

We headed over to Ali-Baba and Kirk’s for another birthday celebration for Sadbh. Sadbh was talking non-stop about how excited she was to be going over to see Ali-Baba but as soon as she arrived she was extremely shy. It took a few minutes for Sadbh to warm up and soon she was hanging out with Ali-Baba opening her presents and having a wonderful time.

After cake and singing a birthday song we all headed down to the Ballard Locks for a walk. Sadbh was delighted to see all the boats going through the locks and was even more excited to see the water cascading down over the weir. 

It was a beautiful evening and by the time we were on the way home Sadbh was yawning her head off. She still had a good few hours in her yet and spent the next couple of hours playing with Katie and I.

When it came time for bed Sadbh was fast asleep in minutes.
Helen is working tonight and Larissa is starting her day shift tomorrow morning.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
