Sadbh’s update – April 21st 2013


We were all pooped by the end of the day and Sadbh was off to sleep in Katie’s arms in no time at all.
Danielle worked throughout the night and mentioned when I took over at 6am that Sadbh hardly moved all night.
She was in a very deep sleep and finally woke up with a huge smile shortly before 8am.
Just then a plane fly overhead and Sadbh said “Nana fly”.

We both headed upstairs to Katie after unhooking all her equipment. She was over the moon to see Katie and got stuck into some serious cuddles.

Later on Sadbh got to Skype with Nana and Granddad and could not stop blowing kisses to them. Nana had found one of the hats that Sadbh had planted in her suitcase and Sadbh was happy to see Nana wear it.

We had originally planned on going to the zoo but it turned out to be a wet day so we headed over to see Clodagh and Cormac for a play date instead.
Sadbh was so excited that she could not stop talking about them the whole way in the car.

Ixchel was also there on a play date and for the next hour or so Sadbh and her friends had a wonderful time.
They helped Suzie bake cookies and later when the sugar kicked in they all had a fun time dancing.

The weather was still nasty so we headed home in the hope that Sadbh would nap for trach care.
After a nice warm bath and a cuddle with Katie, Sadbh soon dropped off to the land of nod.
Trach care went exactly according to plan for the first time in ages and Sadbh slept right through it. We noticed that her neck was very tender in one area so we applied some medical tape to give it relief from the trach ties and to speed up the healing.

Sadbh slept for two hours and woke up in a fantastic mood.
We spent the rest of the evening getting dinner ready and preparing for the week. Sadbh had a lot of fun playing and watching the videos of her dancing yesterday.

When it came time for bed Sadbh was extremely giddy and insisted on reading a whole bunch of her favorite books.
It took ages to finally get her to sleep



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
