Sadbh’s update – December 20th 2013


Sadbh slept well and woke up shortly after 7. When Sadbh looked out the window this morning she could not believe her eyes and she immediately wanted to go out and play in the snow. It was a busy morning as we had an appointment with Dr. Cavanaugh. But before we could visit her doctor she had to go out and play in it.

Her appointment with Dr. Cavanaugh went well and he recommended a good acupuncturist that specializes in nerve repair.

As soon as we got home Sadbh and Jenna built a snowman in the back garden and Sadbh had a fantastic time.
She was bundled up nice and warm and did not want to go inside.

Trach care went well and Sadbh was extremely cooperative and we were able to get it done very quickly.

Ever since Sadbh came home from the hospital at almost two months of age we have always needed someone sitting next to her in the car anytime we drive somewhere. To make sure that her trach remains clear and can be accessed immediately if she needs suctioning she requires someone to sit next to her.
After Jenna left today I needed to head to Costco to pick up an order that just arrived so I loaded up the car with Sadbh’s equipment and we took off just the two of us. She was in a great mood and thankfully the trip there and back went well.  This wont be a regular occurrence, but I was lucky that everything worked out today so that I could get it done.

While in Costco Sadbh was walking along holding my hand and saying how much she loved being at Trader Joes. She had a few people in hysterics with her comments and after I explained that she was in Costco she responded that she loved being at Costco.
I was afraid that when she saw the toy section that she would get upset and want me to buy her what she liked. Instead she just commented on how much she liked certain toys and was happy to keep on walking as we wandered through the store.

We made it home safe and sound and for the next few hours Sadbh had me pretending to be Santa while she was Rudolph.
We had a fun time and after Mommy arrived it was time to head to our neighbors for the neighborhood Christmas party.

Sadbh enjoyed the first half hour or so but soon grew very tired and wanted to go home. She loved petting our neighbor’s dogs and at one point had to give up her cookie to Rody.

I was serenaded at bedtime yet again and soon Sadbh was fast asleep.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
