Sadbh’s update – November 8th 2013


Sadbh had a very restless night and woke up in a good mood close to 7am this morning.

She had an appointment with her cranial sacral doctor, Dr. Cavanaugh first thing this morning so it was a mad rush to have breakfast and get ready for her visit.

This was the first Dr. Cavanaugh visit without Mommy and Sadbh was not so keen. It took a lot of talking to get her to cooperate.
Dr. Cavanaugh noticed that her upper muscles were not as tense as previous visits and mentioned that it seemed that she was not working so hard to breathe.

It was a cool but pleasant day so we headed out for a walk as soon as we got home. Sadbh was happy to be out since she’s been cooped up all week. We headed to Nora’s Woods and it was such a great walk. Sadbh enjoyed her hike and by the time we arrived home she was getting very tired.

Trach care went well but Sadbh would not go to sleep. She fought us hard for almost two hours and we finally gave in.
Caity, her nurse supervisor, came by to recertify Sadbh and Sadbh was so excited to see her. She showed off her new tent and kept giving Caity hugs.

Sadbh was very excited as her friend Clodagh was coming over for a sleep over. It was Sadbh’s first ever sleep over and she could not stop talking about it all day.
Clodagh arrived around 4 with her little brother Cormac and Sadbh almost crashed through the window when she saw them arrive outside.
Clodagh was also quite excited and had packed her suitcase the evening before all by herself.

Needless to say the three kids had a fantastic evening. I was surprised with how crazy the house was all of a sudden but the kids were having such a wonderful time I could not help but join in.

After Katie arrived home the kids got busy baking cookies.
They obviously did not need the sugar but it kept them going well past their bedtime.
It took a while to get everyone to bed but soon the house was quiet and we were able to relax for a while.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
