Sadbh’s update – November 28th 2013


I took over from Crystal at 6 this morning and she was almost out the door before I could get any information on how Sadbh’s night was. It was like trying to get blood out of a stone but soon I was able to get the details of Sadbh’s night. Typically the night nurse will provide a detailed rundown of how the night went before leaving.

Regardless, Sadbh had a good night and woke up upset shortly after 7. She really wanted Mommy and had no interest in seeing me. I was able to convince her to calm down long enough to be able to unhook her equipment so I could bring her upstairs to Mommy. From then on she had a great morning.

We were hosting Thanksgiving so it was a very busy morning around the house. Sadbh was in a very good mood and kept herself busy playing with her toys as we prepared dinner.
She put up her usual fight when it came time for trach care but eventually she calmed down and allowed us to get things done. After trach care she fell asleep so we were able to blast through the rest of the dinner preparations.

Sadbh was sad that a couple of her friends could not make dinner since they were sick. In fact we were all sad that they could not make it.
She was excited though to see Luna and Cora when they arrived.
They girls did not hesitate in getting down to some serious fun. They had so much energy and it did not run out until well after 10.

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday and we are so grateful to get to spend it with great friends and to have Nin spend her first thanksgiving with us. We are also grateful for our friends and family that could not make it tonight or that were travelling.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
