Sadbh’s update – July 16th 2013


Sadbh slept well and Helen tried to cap her trach a number of times. After the fourth attempt she gave up as Sadbh was not having any of it.
She spent the rest of the night chasing a huge moth and an even bigger spider around the room.
The joys of a hot summer with the windows open to keep the room cool.

Sadbh was a little moody when Larissa and Mariana arrived so to cheer her up they brought her out for a walk. Her mood started to improve immediately as she ran around.
Unfortunately, she tripped on a crack in the pavement and banged up her knees. To everyone’s surprise this did not faze her and she got up and continued on.

They ended up going to Nora’s wood and got to meet a couple of the founders. Sadbh was running around like crazy and she kept Larissa and Mariana on their toes trying to keep up.

All the running around wiped her out and she napped for almost two hours.
When she woke up she played in her cot for a while longer and was definitely in a much better mood than this morning.

When I arrived home she was still in a very energetic mood and was running all around the house. I have no idea where she got the energy from today but I could not keep up with her.

At one point when I was making the dinner she was trying to get me to play with her and kept pulling my leg saying daddy, daddy until she started to say Mr. Walsh, Mr. Walsh.
She definitely got my attention and as soon as I turned around she gave me the cheekiest grin ever.

She had a big appetite when it came to dinner and afterwards it was time for a bath and then trach care.
It’s exhausting doing trach care at night but thankfully Sadbh is so easygoing and happy to lie there watching something on the iPhone.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
