Sadbh’s update – September 2nd 2013


It was a very long night as Sadbh needed constant suctioning every thirty minutes or so.
Her trach was extremely goopy but thankfully her temperature was back to normal.

She slept until almost 8 and woke up happy. She could not wait to join her friends in the kitchen for breakfast so after another few suctions she was able to join in on the fun.

We rented a boat for the day so after we got all her equipment set up we all headed out for a day on the lake.
Sadbh and all the kids had a fantastic time. After a few hours Sadbh started to show signs of getting tired. She snuggled up to Katie and was soon fast asleep in her arms.
Each of the other kids started to doze off and before we knew it they were all fast asleep.
We headed back to the dock so Katie and I could take Sadbh home for trach care. Sadbh woke up before we arrived at the dock and was as eager as Katie and I to get trach care done so we could head back out on the boat with everyone else.

Trach care went really well but Sadbh needed some serious suctioning. She actually needed suctioning throughout the entire day and thankfully she was a great sport about it all.

The fun continued once we got back on the lake but Sadbh was not pleased when mommy wanted to go for a swim in the water. I did a good job of distracting her for a while but soon she noticed that mommy was nowhere to be seen.
This put an end to mommies swimming activities but as soon as she was out of the water Sadbh was much happier.

The rest of the evening was spent playing with her friends and by the end of the evening all the kids were wired to the moon.

Just before bedtime we gave Sadbh another nebulizer to help loosen up the secretions in her trach.
Bedtime came quickly and soon Sadbh was out for the count.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
