Sadbh’s update – May 17th 2013


Sadbh slept much better last night and did not budge until shortly after 6 when Katie took over from Helen.

She had a great morning hanging out with Katie and when it came time to head upstairs she insisted on bringing all her dolls and stuffed animals. Katie had to carry quite the load but it was worth it since Sadbh was so happy.
Sadbh arranged all her friends around her so she could keep an eye on them while she watched Kipper. She placed her milk bottle to the side and explained to Katie that it was her “coffee”.

She did not have much of an appetite and later in the morning her lungs started to sound congested again.
Larissa gave her a nebulizer of Albuterol to help open up her lungs.

After a busy morning it was time for trach care and a nap. Trach care went well and Sadbh was soon sleeping her little head off. Unfortunately, she only slept for 45 minutes and really did not sleep well. Her heart rate was much higher than usual however her temperature was ok.

She was very fussy and quite clingy for the rest of the day and did not have a big appetite.
By dinner-time she was very hungry and made up for the lack of eating throughout the day.

By bedtime she was very tired so we gave her a nebulizer with saline solution to help humidify her airway and soon Sadbh was cuddled up with Katie while dozing off to sleep.

I hope she is not coming down with another cold and that she will feel better tomorrow.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
