Sadbh’s update – June 13th 2013


Sadbh had a restless start to her night and woke up with a jolt a couple of times. She had no problem going back to sleep and eventually fell into a nice deep sleep for the rest of the night.

She was a little reluctant to say good-bye to mommy this morning. After a few minutes of being upset she finally realized that everything would be ok.
She managed to get a hold of Larissa’s stethoscope and gave her a thorough examination.
Larissa was a great sport and Sadbh had a fanatic morning playing doctor.

Eventually Sadbh moved on to playing with her new toy bus that she got from Nana and Granddad and all of a sudden Sadbh jumped up ran to the front window while shouting “Ali-Baba is here!”.
Low and behold she somehow heard Ali-Baba’s car pull up.
Ali-Baba’s sister Kathie and her husband Bill are visiting from the Bay Area and Sadbh was excited to meet them. She certainly put on the charm and everyone had a fun time.

The excitement of a fun packed morning got to Sadbh so she was a little worked up when it came to nap time.
It took a lot longer for her to fall asleep and when she did she fell into a nice deep sleep.

Sadbh was hungry for lunch when she woke up and had a big feed. She got to wear her trach cap for quite a while and when she was done she raised her chin, asked Larissa to take it off and waited until she did so. Usually she will just pull it off herself so it was great to see that she is finally waiting to let Larissa remove it.

The rest of her evening was fun and she was over the moon when mommy arrived home from work.

Katie and I managed trach care just before putting Sadbh to bed. She was very cooperative and watched Fireman Sam as we took care of business.
I got a chance to snuggle with her for a while before she went to sleep but she finally wanted mommy.
It took a long time for her to go to sleep and she wanted to play with Katie and got very upset when Katie put her in her bed.  After a second snuggle and lots of wiggling and singing of “Wheels on the Bus”, she finally dozed off into a deep sleep.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
