Sadbh’s update – August 29th 2013


Sadbh had a great sleep but was not as successful wearing her trach cap. Helen noticed that she was very restless so she gave her a break to allow Sadbh to have a good night sleep.

Helen worked an extra hour to allow Katie and I to get a head start at getting everything packed and set up for our long weekend with the gang at Lake Chelan.
Earlier in the week Katie had checked with everyone going to make sure that everyone was healthy and that there were no exposures to colds. We received a clean bill of health from everyone but did hear back that three of the kids spent the day with another sick kid on Monday.
We were assured that the sick child was on the tail end of her cold and was no longer contagious.
After a lot of back and forth Katie and I decided to go to Lake Chelan.

Sadbh woke early and got to spend a little time hanging out with Helen. She’s usually asleep while Helen works so she was very shy.

After breakfast Sadbh helped pack up all her stuff and only for the fact that it was lashing rain she would have helped load the car took.
A few hours later we were on the road for Chelan and before we even got on the freeway Sadbh was fast asleep.

The drive went smooth and Sadbh woke up half way there. She did great considering it was a long drive and only grew restless about ten miles away from our destination.
She was very eager to hang out with her friends.

Sadbh was very excited to arrive and although everyone was away at the pool, Sadbh had a great time playing with all of their toys.  This created a great distraction while we unloaded the car.
It took a couple of hours to get all her equipment set up in our room and as soon as we were done we got Sadbh ready for trach care. She was very willing and even told her friends that she could not play for a while as she was about to do trach care.

The rest of the evening was full of fun riding bikes with her buddies. She even set up a beauty parlor and tried to give Cormac some curls in his hair.

By bedtime she was exhausted and wanted to go to bed.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
