Sadbh’s update – September 4th 2013


Sadbh slept well but would not allow Helen to cap her trach. Helen suctioned once during the night but could not remove the secretions since they were further down in her lungs.

I took over from Helen at 6 and Sadbh slept on for another twenty minutes or so. She was in a good mood so we headed up to see mommy before she got up for work.

It was my first official day home as a stay at home dad and it went really well.
After breakfast Sadbh and I headed up to Capitol Hill for a walk and to take care of a few errands.
Sadbh wanted desperately to walk but since we did not have a lot of time I tried to persuade her to stay in her stroller.
Towards the end she kept standing up in her seat and, despite the promise of ice cream when she got home, she would not sit back down.

It took a while to get Sadbh to take a nap as she was way too busy making food for her dolls.
Eventually, she gave in and within moments of her head resting on her bed she was fast asleep.
She did not move for two whole hours and her heart rate was down in the 70’s from time to time.
My parents called just as she was waking up so Sadbh spent ten or so minutes telling them about her fall the day before and about the bump on her head.

We had a great evening and Sadbh had a nice big dinner. She was in such a great mood and it only got better when mommy arrived home from work.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
