Sadbh’s update – November 26th 2013


It was a good night sleep for Sadbh and she could not wait to see Nini as soon as she woke up.
Nini was fast asleep when we brought Sadbh downstairs to her room. Sadbh quietly walked up to Nini’s bed and as soon as Nini woke up Sadbh gave her a huge hug and told her that she missed her and that she loved her and she would not let go of Nini. That has to be the best wake up call ever.

For the first time in ages, Sadbh ate her breakfast without any issues. It was because Nini was sitting right across from her eating her breakfast.
As soon as they were done eating Sadbh showed Nini all her favorite toys and even showed how she does trach care on some of her dolls.

Sadbh had her appointment with Dr. Inglis today and as soon as he and his assistant Pam arrived Sadbh sang Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to them. And she would not stop singing. She even had her dance moves down, it was hilarious.

Dr. Inglis was pleased with Sadbh’s progress and mentioned that he did not think that she was done improving. However he did express concern that he felt that Sadbh’s vocal chords might not repair on their own and we might need to consider surgical options. He also mentioned that with corrective surgery she might still have issues breathing while sleeping and might require a C-pap.
He supported our decision to stay the course in the hope that her vocal cords will self correct as we do not want to compromise her voice.

As we were scheduling our next appointment for April Sadbh started to sing to the office staff. She drew the attention of a little kid who wanted to give Sadbh a huge hug. We were caught off guard and were not able to react quick enough to stop the kid from giving Sadbh a big hug. It was very cute but our efforts to keep Sadbh from catching a cold could have been greatly compromised in the moment of cuteness. Fingers crossed she will be ok. It was very sweet all the same.

Sadbh had a great evening playing with Nini. Since she did not have a nap she got tired very early. I fell asleep on the couch next to her and was woken up by Sadbh as she gave me a big good night kiss and as she threw one of her cute blankets over me.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
