Sadbh’s update – May 6th 2013


Sadbh slept great and only needed to be suctioned a few times during the night.
Katie overslept by 20 minutes and thankfully Helen was very cool about it.
When Sadbh finally woke up she was having difficulty in breathing and Katie had to suction quickly to remove a few mucus plugs.

Sadbh had a massive appetite for breakfast and ate so much food. Afterwards, Sadbh and Nini got down to some serious playtime.

Amy had the day off today and Nini was meeting with some friends so Sadbh and Larissa had the house to themselves.
It was another beautiful day so Sadbh and Larissa headed out for a nice walk in the warm sun.
Sadbh was being lazy today and rode along in the stroller rather than walking. She made up for the lack of activity by keeping up a constant chatter about everything and everyone that they saw.

When Sadbh arrived home it was time for a bath. Larissa gave Sadbh a bath in the large tub using her regular small blue tub. This way she was able to put in more water than usual and Sadbh got to play with all her bath toys.
She had a wonderful time and did not want to leave.
Sadbh agreed to leave only after the mummy, daddy and baby ducks went to sleep.

Sadbh had a nice long nap and woke up in a great mood two hours later. She had a ferocious appetite and ate everything that was put in front of her.

After lunch Sadbh and Larissa planted sunflowers in the back porch and thankfully Sadbh did not get too dirty.
She had a great evening with Larissa and was in a wonderful mood when I arrived home from work.

Katie and Nini had an appointment so Sadbh and I got to spend the evening together.
Due to a big rash on her bottom, Larissa gave Sadbh a break from wearing her nappy for a while and she was so happy with the freedom.
We talked about letting us know when she wanted to use the bathroom in the hope that she might be miraculously potty trained all of a sudden.
Just when I was starting to believe that she was instantly potty trained she reminded me of how foolish I was by making a nice big mess in her room and walking it all the way into the bathroom. Thankfully it was a number one and not a number two.

We had a wonderful evening chasing each other around the house and playing hide and seek.

She was eating dinner when Katie and Nini arrived home and greeted them with a huge smile when they walked in the door.

Since Larissa was working solo today she was unable to do trach care.
Katie and I took care of it just before bedtime and Sadbh was very patient the whole way through.

When we finished she simply wanted to climb into her cot and go to sleep.
It was a fun day and, by the end of it, she was pooped out.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
