Sadbh’s update – September 16th 2013

Sadbh had a great night sleep and so did Katie and myself thanks to Helen. As usual Helen took really good care of Sadbh and Sadbh slept through until 7:30.

It was a fun but very long day. Sadbh refused to nap and insisted that I play with her all day long. We had a brilliant time but it was very exhausting.

I’m trying to potty train Sadbh at the moment and despite her best efforts today she had a couple of big accidents. All I can say is that I am very grateful that I have latex gloves.
One of the techniques we have to get her to pee on the potty is to place a little basin of warm water next to her so she can use her hands to splash around. Today she decided that she would be better off washing her feet in the bowl instead.

After dinner we headed out for a walk through the neighborhood and Sadbh got to wish her cousin Hayato a happy birthday. He turned 13 today.

We managed trach care just before bedtime and initially we thought it was going to be tough as Sadbh was wired to the moon. She calmed down just in time and was very happy to watch Kipper while we got busy with the task at hand.

She was so tired that she fell asleep in Katie’s arms within minutes.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
