Sadbh’s update – July 9th 2013


It was another uneventful night for Helen as Sadbh slept without any issues. Her chest did sound slightly goopy at one point but she cleared it on her own without the need for suctioning.

Sadbh was in a great mood when she woke up and was delighted to be hanging out with mommy.
Larissa worked today and was greeted by a happy little girl.
When Katie got ready to leave Sadbh came running to give her a big hug and watched as she drove off.
As soon as Katie was gone it was back to having fun with Larissa.

It was a beautiful day so Sadbh and Larissa spent time playing in the back garden and brightening the place up with colourful chalk.

When the two ladies came in for a snack Sadbh pulled a chair up to the kitchen sink to wash up. This turned into a full dishwashing session with Sadbh begging for more soap.
Earlier in the morning Sadbh and Larissa did a science experiment with baking soda and vinegar. This was fun but Sadbh had more fun washing the dishes.
Good to know.

Sadbh slept for nearly two and a half hours and woke up very hungry. She had a huge lunch and impressed Larissa with the amount of food she devoured.

Sadbh was excited all afternoon for the arrival of her old nurse Audrey. Audrey worked with us almost two years ago and has stopped by every time she visits town. The last time Sadbh saw Audrey was back in December and she was excited to see her when she arrived.
It was great catching up and Sadbh kept asking for her to come back again tomorrow.

After dinner it was time for a bath and trach care. Everything went well apart from me accidentally nicking her neck with the Velcro from her trach tie. She got upset for a split second but soon got over it. I felt bad especially since her neck has been looking so good lately.

It took a while to get her off to sleep after we finished trach care and she was very talkative. She kept telling Katie that she did not need her trach anymore and that she wanted to go visit her cousins Fionn and Annabelle.
Eventually she dropped off to sleep and just in time as Helen arrived not long afterwards.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
