Sadbh’s update – June 8th 2013


Sadbh slept very well, although she is still not tolerating the cap at night.  In fact, she has gotten so sure that she doesn’t want to wear it, she doesn’t even have to wake up to take it off and hand it to the night nurse.

She woke up around 6:30 and was in a great mood and ready to start the day.  She wanted to play on the deck and sit at her table, then she had a great time trying on her undies (over her pants) and dance around.

Sadbh was able to Skype for a few minutes with Daddy and Uncle Ger as they were driving around Dublin looking for a parking spot.  We miss Daddy so much, but we are happy that he is able to be with his brother and his family right now.

Sadbh discovered how much fun she could have hiding in the curtains and looking out the window at our neighbors working in their yard.  After a morning of running around the house, Ali-Baba came by to help with trach care.  Sadbh was an angel and let Katie and Ali-Baba manage just fine.

Afterwards, the ladies packed up all her gear and set out for the afternoon.  Sadbh was quickly asleep in the car and Katie managed to get a few errands done. 

After an hour or so, Sadbh woke up and promptly reminded Ali-Baba that she wanted to go to Greenlake (apparently Ali-Baba had mentioned this to Sadbh earlier in the week, and Sadbh was not about to forget it!).

First stop, though, was a lovely bakery in Greenwood.  Sadbh thought everything looked “beautiful” and she even managed to make a new friend in the bakery. 

From there, the ladies headed over to Roosevelt to get some healthy take out food and then down to Greenlake for a picnic and some running around.  Sadbh loved it when Ali-Baba chased her, but she was so fast, it was hard for Ali-Baba to keep up.

When we got home, we were all exhausted and it was time for a quick dinner and then off to sleep.

It was a lovely fun day of Grandmother, Mother and Daughter.  We are so lucky to have Ali-Baba living close to us and to able to spend some good time with her!




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
