Sadbh’s update – October 30th 2013


Sadbh slept soundly and woke up not long after Crystal left. She was very restless at the start of the night and settled down around 3.

Jenna was not feeling great and to prevent Sadbh from getting sick she decided that it would be best for her to stay at home.

Sadbh was not happy when Mommy left for work and unfortunately her trach cap had to come off as she was struggling to breathe. After some quick distractions Sadbh was happy again and full of snuggles.

Once she was done with breakfast we got all her equipment set up in the stroller and headed off up to Capitol Hill for a walk.
Along the way a woman stopped in her car to ask for directions. Sadbh started to chat to the lady as she started to drive away and with that Sadbh turned around with sad face and said “I wanted to talk to her”. It was so sad, cute and, all at the same time. Before long she was up on my back laughing her head off as we ran up the hill looking for spiders and owls.

I picked up a couple of big bags of sweets for Halloween and Sadbh was desperate to get into them. All the way through the shop she was whining that she wanted them and this continued as we headed home.
Instead of giving in to her I decided to buy her a kid size cupcake and this seemed to do the trick. She was so happy with her treat and did not bring up the bag of sweets until we approached the house and this time she was even more desperate.

She was very tired and wanted to nap but instead she played in her cot for over an hour. If she does not sleep we insist on her having some quiet time. She spent the next while reading her books and before long she was fast asleep.

The rest of her evening was spent playing and having a fun time. Mommy came home earlier than usual as I had a dentist appointment. Sadbh was so happy to see her and she even got to sit on her lap while Mommy parked the car in the drive way.

Before dinner Sadbh helped to bake cupcakes. She was great at mixing up the ingredients and even tried to sneak a taste before it all went in the oven.

When it came time for bed Sadbh had a bath and then Katie and I managed trach care. Sadbh was very cooperative and soon after was fast asleep.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
