Sadbh’s update – September 14th 2013


Sadbh slept right through the night and woke up just before 8. Katie took over from Danielle and when Sadbh woke up she was so happy to see Mommy right there next to her.

As soon as she was up she grabbed one of her yellow bowls and placed it on her head like a hat. She had a great time doing this and really enjoyed making Mommy laugh. Interestingly enough, she did the same thing with Nini a year ago yesterday.

Our friends were camping up north by Deception Pass for the weekend so we decided to go visit them for a couple of hours.
The plan was to manage trach care around naptime and then hit the road allowing Sadbh to nap on the way. Sadbh only napped for half an hour so she was quite tired when we arrived at the campsite. Nevertheless, she was excited to see all her friends.

The kids were all having a wonderful time playing in the sand and water. Sadbh really wanted to join them but unfortunately she could not since we did not want to risk sand or water getting near her trach.

Deception Pass is quite beautiful and soon a thick fog started to envelope the area.
We headed back up to the gangs campsite and Sadbh was fascinated with all the tents. We quickly realized it was time to go when we noticed the campfire smoke and insect repellant smoke in the air. Since Sadbh breathes through her trach she has no way of filtering smoke.

The journey home took ages as there was a big detour due to road works. Sadbh was a great sport all the same and enjoyed dancing to the music on the stereo.
We were playing Joy Division and when one of the songs ended she kept asking to play it again over and over.
Good to know she enjoys the same music as we do.

She was pooped when we arrived home so it did not take long to get her off to sleep.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
