Sadbh’s update – April 3rd 2013


Sadbh did great with her trach cap last night and managed almost two and a half hours over two sessions. The second session only lasted 46 minutes and ended when Sadbh sat up, pulled her cap off and handed it to Larissa before heading back to sleep.
Her total amount of time being capped yesterday up until midnight was 7 hours and 11 minutes. I believe this is an all time record.

Sadbh was in a great mood when she woke up at 6:40 and as soon as she laid her eyes on Katie she new the fun was about to start.

Her nurse Caity worked today so it was a full house. Sadbh was delighted to see Caity and Amy and after a fun morning they all headed outside to enjoy the nice weather.
Sadbh and her gang headed up to the park in Madrona however it was full of kids. Fearing the risk of exposing Sadbh to unwanted colds or bugs Grandad decided that it would be best to avoid the park and thankfully Sadbh was good with the decision.

Later in the morning Sadbh started to get tired so they gave her a bath and got her ready for trach care. She was soon sleeping her little head off and everything was going well with trach care when all of a sudden she woke up with a fright. She must have had a nightmare and it was impossible to get her back to sleep. Granddad calmly explained to her that he needed to put her trach tie back on so she relaxed for long enough for him to do that.

The rest of her day was spent having a great time with Amy, Caity, Nana and Granddad.
She was exhausted when it came time for bed and was fast asleep within a few minutes.
Katie and Granddad took care of trach care tonight and thankfully Sadbh slept through the whole thing.

Today was nurse Caity’s last day working with Sadbh as she just recently took the position of nurse supervisor for the agency. We will miss working with her but hope that she gets assigned to Sadbh’s case so we can see her from time to time.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
