Sadbh’s update – September 5th 2013

Sadbh woke up at 6:15 after a nice night sleep. She was in a great mood but wanted to see mommy so I disconnected all her equipment, grabbed her milk from the fridge and we both headed upstairs.

There was a big thunder and lightening storm and Sadbh was frightened at first. After Katie and I explained that there was nothing to be afraid of she did not seem too bothered by the loud thunder any longer. Katie told Sadbh that the thunder was the drums in the sky and the rain was the music.  We all sat in bed and listened to the beautiful music for the first moments of the morning.

The weather was terrible today so Sadbh and I were housebound for the most part. It did not stop us from having a fun morning and Sadbh really enjoyed herself setting her table with all sorts of yummy treats. All of course were plastic so we both had to use our imagination.

We did get a chance to go outside to pick some fresh tomatoes from the garden. Sadbh was determined to pick all the tomatoes that were not quite ripe yet and then squish the ones that were ripe.

Nevertheless, we were able to gather a nice big bowl full and I got the opportunity to teach Sadbh the correct way to say tomato rather than the American way that her mother has taught her.

I found Sadbh playing on her keyboard again and singing into the microphone. She puts the microphone into her mouth to sing so I showed her that it was not necessary for her voice to be heard.

Sadbh was exhausted and slept for three hours and twenty minutes. I never thought that she would ever get up but thankfully she did and she also awoke her appetite. She had a huge feast and as soon as she was done it was time to get stuck into some serious playtime.

When mommy arrived home Sadbh sat down to her second meal of the evening, which she devoured.

As soon as we were done we headed out for a walk around the block. It was good to be out and about even though we got stuck in a quick shower along the way.

Sadbh was in a very good mood this evening and trach care went by very easily. As soon as we were done she snuggled up with mommy and was fast asleep within thirty minutes.
