Sadbh’s update – August 18th 2013


Sadbh slept in until 8am after a great night sleep and was in a very happy mood.

When she realized that her cousins were not around she was very sad but all of a sudden her iPad started to ring, it was her cousins from Portland wanting to Skype.
She was thrilled and headed out to show them her kitchen in the back garden.

Later her two cousins, Trinity and Belle-Rose stopped by with their parents so the fun kicked into high gear for the rest of the morning.
They had a great time but eventually you could tell that they were all tired.
Katie and I managed trach care while Trinity watched on. Everything went according to plan and we were able to get trach care done without any problems.

Despite being very tired Sadbh had no interest in going to sleep, as she did not want to stop playing with her cousins.
Poppy stopped by on his way to the airport so he could say hello and good bye and soon after he left we headed up to Volunteer Park on Capitol Hill for a walk.

Since it was Karby’s families last night we all headed to dinner over by Golden Gardens. The service was extremely slow but we got to spend the evening together and the kids all had a fantastic time. Sadbh took a very short nap just before we arrived and woke up very groggy. She was soon having a blast with each of the girls before finally plopping into Ali-Baba’s lap to finish off her fruit drink.

At one stage I had to bring Sadbh to the bathroom to wash her hands. This was a first for me and I have to say it was not easy considering that I had to keep her from touching everything else in there.

Karby and his family followed us home since they were staying close by and we had a big farewell before they finally headed back to their place for the night.
Sadbh was full of hugs and kisses but was sad to see them off. I’m sure she is going to miss them something terrible in the coming days.

It will be a year at least, possibly longer before she gets to see them in person again, however Liberty made a promise to Skype on a regular basis.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
