Sadbh’s update – June 3rd 2013


Sadbh had a very deep sleep last night and did not wake until almost 8am.
Helen tried to cap her trach a couple of times and gave up after Sadbh pulled it off for the second time and then handing the cap to Helen in a very matter of fact manner.

She was in a fantastic mood and after a quick breakfast Katie and Larissa loaded the car and brought Sadbh to visit Dr. Cavanaugh for her cranial sacral appointment.
It was the best visit ever. Sadbh not only wore her cap the entire time but she narrated throughout the entire visit.
As Dr. Cavanaugh messaged her she would indicate when something felt good by saying “that feels good” or if she felt discomfort she would grimace and Dr. Cavenaugh would ask if it hurt and she would say “ya” with a smile. Eventually she had Dr. Cavanaugh, Katie and Larissa all singing to her as she layed there getting the royal treatment.

Once home it was time to play in the back garden. Amy soon arrived and joined in on the fun.
When it was time for trach care Sadbh was very relaxed and allowed Larissa and Amy to work their magic.
She had another great sleep afterwards and slept for two hours.

After lunch it was time to head out for a walk through the neighborhood and of course Sadbh had to visit the chickens. It was her lucky day as the owner was there and invited Sadbh to feed the chickens. She could not believe her luck and she had a wonderful time.

She was in a wonderful mood all-day and full of laughter and mischief.
Just before dinner she grabbed Katie’s phone to check out the chicken feeding video. She could not stop her eyes off of it and must have watched it over and over at least 20 times.

We made some yummy home made strawberry pizza for dinner and Sadbh obviously loved it. When Katie stepped away from the table Sadbh reached over and grabbed her slice. It was a real sneaky move but it was very well executed.

She wasn’t entirely ready for bed but after a nice long cuddle with Katie she was soon fast asleep.
