Sadbh’s update – April 16th 2013


Sadbh slept very well last night and woke up to Gerdie in a great mood. She was very playful from the start and was teasing Gerdie for a while before finally getting up.

Amy was not quite 100% better today so she took another sick day to make sure that Sadbh stayed healthy. Larissa was working and Sadbh was very happy to see her arrive.
It was another busy morning and Sadbh was very happy playing with her school buses in her room.
Unfortunately, she had a little accident with one of her buses and ended up with a bump next to her right eye. She was very upset but soon calmed down when she realized that it was not serious.

Ali-Baba stopped by later on and Sadbh was delighted when she stepped foot inside the door.
It was a beautiful day so Sadbh, Granddad, Nana, Ali-Baba and Larissa all headed out for a walk to the Seattle University campus.
They had a great walk and Sadbh really enjoyed being outside.

When she arrived home I got her bath ready while Larissa set up for trach care. Sadbh enjoyed her bath but when it came time for Larissa to dry her off and get her to sleep Sadbh was not happy. She threw a huge fit and got very upset.

I eventually took over and soon Sadbh was fast asleep in my arms.
Larissa cleaned Sadbh’s neck and area around the trach while I held. She did great and Sadbh slept right through the whole routine. She slept for two hours and was a little upset when she woke up.

It had rained while Sadbh was sleeping so as soon as her belly was full Granddad and Nana brought her out for another walk through the neighborhood. She had so much fun and when they arrived back she planted some sweet peas in the garden.

Just as we were putting Sadbh to bed we received news that her new cousin was born in New Zealand. Sadbh’s aunt Trish, my sister, gave birth to a healthy baby girl and Sadbh got to join in on the celebration. I cannot wait for us to meet our new niece.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
