Sadbh’s update – April 15th 2013


Sadbh slept like a log and woke up well rested shortly after 7am. Granddad Gerdie had taken over from Helen at 6 and Sadbh was delighted to see him.
They had a fun morning and Sadbh was thrilled when Larissa arrived at 8:30. Sadbh was having her breakfast and as soon as Larissa stepped foot in the door Sadbh called to her to come and sit next to her.

Unfortunately, Amy was sick today and could not come to work. Nevertheless, Sadbh had a fantastic day playing with Larissa, Nana and Granddad. Sadbh has really only known Larissa during the night and more often than not she has slept right through Larissa’s shifts.

When it came time for trach care Sadbh was ready for her nap. She had a lovely bath first and as soon as she was dried off she insisted on Granddad putting her to sleep.
I managed trach care with Larissa to show her our routine and everything went according to plan.
Larissa has managed trach care plenty of times in the past but never with Sadbh. It was a great opportunity for Larissa to go over the process that we have established and she got it right from the start.

Sadbh slept for two hours and woke up in a fantastic mood. She had a big dinner and got to catch up on Kipper.
It was soon time for Larissa to go home and after peeling Sadbh away from the telly she bade her farewell.
As soon as she was done eating it was time to head out into the sunshine for a nice long walk.
Nana noticed that the electric company had set up the electricity poles that had been lying on the street over the past few months. Sadbh used to really enjoy walking along those poles and was surprised to see them standing so high in the air instead of lying on the grass.

Before bedtime Sadbh got to Skype with her aunt Trish and cousin Josh in New Zealand. Sadbh was very playful and kept showing off her new kittens.

Bedtime was easy tonight and Sadbh was fast asleep within half an hour.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
