Sadbh’s update – May 14th 2013


It was a very uneventful night as Sadbh slept like a log. Helen tried to cap her trach a number of times but Sadbh was quick to pull it off each time.

Sadbh was awake by 6:30 and ready for her day. She asked Katie where I was and when Katie told her that I was at work she responded with “oh, that makes me sad”. She wasn’t the one.
Later she kept saying “Mama Mia” and when Katie asked where she got that from she explained “Mama Mia, Gerdie say it”. Then she kept asking to go visit Nana and Gerdie in “Ireland”.

Just as they were about to head upstairs she heard a knock at the door. Sadbh was very surprised to see her old nurse Caity.
Caity was promoted to nurse supervisor a couple of months ago and was assigned to Sadbh. Sadbh was so happy to see her and wanted to play with her throughout her visit.
She kept calling for Caity to follow her so both she and Katie ended up following Sadbh around the house as they got caught up on the paper work and recertifying Sadbh.

Unfortunately, Amy could not work today so Larissa and Sadbh got to spend some good time together.
Sadbh was very upset when Katie left for work but was soon comforted by Larissa and before she knew it they were both having a great time.

Ali-Baba stopped by later on and got to join in on the fun with Sadbh and her toys. They fed Sadbh’s dolls and stuffed animal’s ice cream and cup cakes and soon it was time for her bath and a nap.
She wore her cap for quite some time and eventually did not notice that she was wearing it.

Sadbh slept for a couple of hours and when she woke up she wanted to hang out in her cot for a while.
She had a humongous lunch and ate everything that was put in front of her.

Caity stopped by later in the afternoon to complete some additional paperwork and Sadbh was over the moon yet again.

Trach care started to get stressful this evening when Sadbh started to act up. Initially she was happy to just lie there but soon got very fussy. She would not allow us go near her and after some coaxing she finally calmed down so we could manage trach care.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
