Sadbh’s update – August 19th 2013


Sadbh slept well and did not move all night. She had a nice sleep in and did not wake up until 8.
Helen managed to cap her trach for twelve minutes before Sadbh got restless and pulled it off.

She did not want Katie to leave for work and was very sad that her cousins would not be coming by.
Nevertheless she had a great day with Larissa and they both even got to go out for a long walk through the neighborhood.

She had a great time looking out for spiders and became very much the expert in spotting them in their webs.

I arrived home to a very happy and cuddly little girl. She was full of hugs and kisses and after Larissa left we went out into the garden to play.
She had a great time picking fresh tomatoes and could not wait to stuff them in her mouth.

At one point she grabbed my camera and tried to take a few photos of me for a change.

When it came time for bed we got Sadbh washed up and ready for trach care. She was a star and allowed us to get it taken care of easily.
Not long after she was fast asleep.

Last week we learned that Helen was giving up nights as she is going to school to be a nurse practitioner and she is about to start an internship.
Today we learned that Larissa will be also leaving us in a couple of weeks so we are now scrambling to find two replacements.
We are not optimistic that we will find replacements as great as Larissa and Helen.

This evening we met with a potential candidate to fill the day position but we feel that we need to interview a few more before making a decision.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
