Sadbh’s update – September 27th 2013


Sadbh woke up at her normal time this morning after a great night sleep.
Her mood was good and she was happy hanging out with Mommy and I as we got ready for the day.

She had an appointment with her cranial sacral doctor, Dr. Cavanaugh, this morning and was very upset when she realized that Mommy was going to drive separately, so she could head on to work straight after the appointment. I switched with Katie so Sadbh could spend some more time with her and she was happy enough with that.

The appointment went really well and it was amazing to watch Sadbh interact with Dr. Cavanaugh as he worked her rib cage, neck and head. Occasionally he would ask Sadbh if it hurt or not and she would always answer him. She understood exactly what was going on and allowed him to work his magic.

When we arrived home Sadbh would not allow us to change her clothes or wash her hands. She threw a huge fit and had a massive melt down.
We tried baking some banana bread and Irish soda bread but Sadbh lost interest after a few minutes.
The rest of the day did not get much better. She refused to nap despite looking and acting very tired.
We tried everything but she ended up getting her own way after some major tantrums.
Thankfully she allowed us to manage trach care without any problems.

At one point I built her a big tent and this was a huge hit for an hour or so until she got bored and desperately wanted to watch TV. I stuck to my guns on this and sadly for Sadbh she did not get her way.   

Bedtime came very early tonight and she was out cold before 7:15.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
