Sadbh’s update – July 8th 2013


According to Helen Sadbh did not move all night. She was very comfortable squished into the corner of her cot and did not wake until nearly 7:30.

She was delighted to see Larissa and got even more excited when Ali-Baba dropped by to play.
Ali-Baba brought some glue sticks and colored paper so Sadbh could get creative with some arts and crafts. She had a great time and did not notice mommy leaving for work.

After crafts it was time to clean up and get cozy with Ali-Baba and a good book. When the sun finally came out, Sadbh and her entourage headed out into the back garden for some fresh air.
Sadbh showed Ali-Baba and Larissa all the work that was done in the garden and pointed out where I had been climbing while pulling down the ivy yesterday.

Ali-Baba left just before bedtime and Sadbh was sad to see her leave. She was very tired so she helped Larissa get the bath ready so she could have a soak before finally hitting the sack.
When it came time for going to bed she was so busy getting all her equipment ready that she did not notice that she was still wearing her trach cap. It took her a while to calm down but she soon slipped into a nice relaxing sleep and managed to wear her cap for a total of 35 minutes while sleeping.
This is a great achievement and it is all thanks to Larissa.

Sadbh had a nice big lunch this afternoon and for desert she insisted on frozen blueberries. She made a huge mess and her face, hands, arms and dress were all coloured blue by the time she was done.

I arrived home to a very excited little girl and she was quick to show me the craft supplies that Ali-Baba brought her. She got herself into a much bigger mess by the time she was done and it required quite the clean up operation.

Before bedtime we gave her yet another bath and got her ready for trach care. Trach care went well but it took almost an hour to get her to sleep. She was very cuddly but did not want mommy to leave.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
