Sadbh’s update – October 26th 2013


Danielle returned from her holidays and took great care of Sadbh. Sadbh slept well and woke up just as Danielle left at 6. She wanted desperately to head upstairs to see Mommy but I convinced her to allow Mommy to sleep in.

We decided to do trach care early today because we wanted to bring Sadbh to a pumpkin patch and farm as a treat.
Trach care went well and soon we were off in the car. Sadbh kept talking about wanting to ride the horses when she got there so we were pleased to see they had ponies on the farm.

The farm was not too busy and Sadbh had a great time checking out the pigs, chickens and even wanted to bring the rabbit’s home with her.
Things got exciting when it came time for the pony ride. Sadbh could not wait to get up on the pony but was very calm when she got into the saddle. Katie walked along side to make sure that she did not get freaked out.
As they approached the final turn Sadbh’s helmet fell off and it hit the pony’s rear end as it fell to the ground. This startled the pony and it started to kick it’s hind legs. With that Sadbh went flying in the air. Katie was quick to react and since she had a good grip on Sadbh’s back, she was able to give Sadbh a safe landing.
From where I was waiting I could hear people telling Katie what a wonderful job she did catching Sadbh.

After all that excitement we went for a ride on the miniature train. This was a much safer option but Sadbh soon wanted to turn around and head back to Mommy. Thankfully it was not a long ride and soon she was back in the loving arms of her hero.

On the way home she got to chat with Nana and Granddad and was quick to tell them about her days adventures.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
