Sadbh’s update – July 12th 2013


Another good night for Sadbh although Helen could hear that Sadbh was breathing through her nose and that her trach seemed somewhat blocked. She suctioned and cleared her airway and Sadbh slept even better for the rest of the night.

She had a very busy morning with Larissa, Mariana and Ali-Baba.

We had her trach change scheduled for this weekend and based on Helens report this morning we decided to take care of it today.
Both Katie and I arrived home early from work and with the help of Larissa and Mariana we were able to get Sadbh set up and ready for trach change.

With Larissa holding Sadbh’s iPad, Katie and I set about going through the trach care process. When it came time to change her trach Sadbh was a complete superstar. She held her neck back fully allowing Katie to remove her old trach and allowing me to put in the new one. She did not even cough.

Mariana video recorded the whole thing and commented afterwards how we all looked very stressed throughout and once we were done we all looked very relieved.

Later in the evening Katie and I treated Sadbh to some frozen yogurt downtown. She was so excited to be downtown and could not help but dance when she came across a couple of buskers performing. The buskers were great but Sadbh stole all the attention from everyone who passed by. It’s too funny how she dances like her mammy.

She got to bed a little later than usual tonight and thankfully was asleep just before Danielle arrived.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
