Sadbh’s update – September 9th 2013



Katie and I took over from Helen this morning. We are very sad to see her go as she took great care of Sadbh for the past few months.

Sadbh slept soundly until 7:40 and woke up with a huge smile on her face.
We snuck upstairs to surprise mommy and as soon as we stepped into the bathroom Sadbh demanded a big snuggle from mommy.

Sadbh was sad to see mommy leave for work but soon we were both having a great time drinking tea and eating cake with strawberries, bacon, tomatoes and ice cream.
At one stage she grabbed her toy box, placed it on her head and walked around saying that she was a robot.

Her trach was quite dry so I set her up with the nebulizer and we sat together reading books for twenty minutes or so. She usually watches TV when hooked up to the nebulizer but today she was very happy reading.

I had hoped to get out of the house for a walk later in the morning, especially since the morning fog had burned off. Just as we were getting ready to go I could see that Sadbh was getting very tired.
It did not take long for her to fall asleep and she slept soundly for two hours.

The fun and games continued as soon as Sadbh woke up. She did not want to go out for a walk so we built a fort in the living room instead. We had a brilliant time.

Sadbh was playing out in the back garden when mommy arrived home and Sadbh nearly jumped over the fence with excitement.

After dinner we went for a stroll around the neighborhood and she go to check out the chickens and goldfish along the way.

Trach care was very easy tonight and soon Sadbh was snuggled up with mommy and ready to go to sleep.

Since we are now down to weekend night coverage going forward, I will sleep in Sadbh’s room tonight to make sure she is all right.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
