Sadbh’s update – May 8th 2013


According to Sadbh’s night nurse, Helen, she had a fantastic night. She hardly moved all night, she did not need to be suctioned and her lungs sounded good.
Sadbh woke not long after Helen’s shift ended at 6:15 and immediately wanted Katie to head upstairs to take a shower.

After breakfast Nini gave Sadbh Albuterol by nebulizer and Sadbh got to catch up on some of her favorite cartoons on her iPad.
As soon as she was done with her treatment it was time to have some fun with Nini before she headed to the airport.
Sadbh was very sad to see her leave and gave Nini a lot of hugs and kisses.

When it came time for trach care Sadbh was in a nice deep sleep. Larissa and Amy were just about to start when Sadbh woke up and got very fussy.
They decided to forego trach care and were eventually able to get her back to sleep.

She woke up an hour later and declared that she was hungry. After a big feed it was time for the fun and games to commence.
She even got a chance to go out and water her plants.

Overall Sadbh had a great day and allowed Katie and I to manage trach care at bedtime with relative ease.
She managed to wear her trach cap for an hour over three sessions during the day but she still has a long way to go to catch up to how well she was doing before she got sick.

We were all sad to see Nini leave today. Often it seems sad that so many people come and go from her life. She is so lucky in so many ways but it is unfortunate that she doesn't get to spend more time with all these wonderful people.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
