Sadbh’s update – May 12th 2013


Sadbh slept like a log last night and only got fussy when Danielle tried to put her trach cap on. Needless to say Danielle was unsuccessful and Sadbh slept on without having to wear her cap.

I took over from Danielle at 6 and thankfully Sadbh slept on soundly until 7.
She really wanted Katie but since it was Mother’s Day I had to work hard to keep her quite so Katie could sleep in for a while.

Sadbh was quite hungry so it was off to the kitchen for breakfast. She had a huge appetite and snacked on her food for an hour and a half.
Katie arrived downstairs shortly before 9 and Sadbh was delighted to see her.

We decided to do trach care as soon as possible so we could head out and enjoy the day.
Sadbh was onboard and remained very calm while we took care of business.

We headed over to Ballard to see Ali-Baba and Kirk and Sadbh was very happy to see them. She got to play with all the toys that Ali-Baba keeps for her and even got to see their dog, Phoebe.

Ali-Baba has been sorting through old family pictures currently and when Sadbh saw an old picture of a young Ali-Baba her response was priceless.  She grabbed the picture from Katie and walking towards Ali-Baba she said “Oh my gosh, Ali-Baba, oh my gosh” and she laughed and laughed.  It was hilarious.

We took a stroll through the Ballard market and despite all the activities going on Sadbh was soon fast asleep in her stroller. She snoozed for almost an hour until a screaming kid woke her up.

The rest of her evening was spent having fun at home and getting up to all sorts of mischief.

We thought it would be easy to get her to bed tonight but she was very giddy and used every trick in the book to stay up. She even started to ask to be suctioned despite the fact that she did not need one.  “Just one suction” she said as she looked coyly up at Katie.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
