Sadbh’s update – December 30th 2013


Helen only had to suction once during the night after Sadbh had a big cough. She had coughed a big mucus plug into her trach however it was very easy to suction out and Sadbh slept on as if nothing had happened.

Since Jenna was still sick, Helen worked a couple of extra hours and gave Sadbh a back massage when she woke up. Sadbh kept pretending to be sleeping and when Mommy arrived she admitted that she was hiding from Helen. She is very much a diva.

Every morning we watch to make sure that the night nurse makes it to their car safely. This morning Sadbh joined Mommy as Helen headed off and as soon as she got in her car Sadbh proclaimed “oh my gosh, she made it to her car, whoo hoo!”.

We had a busy day playing with all of Sadbh’s new toys and organizing her old ones. Her favorite new toy is “Daddy pretending to be a horse” and like every day this past few weeks I spent a good portion of the morning galloping around the house with Sadbh demanding that I run faster.

Trach care went really well as Sadbh was excited to go visit her friends Clodagh and Cormac. Since she missed out on spending Christmas day with her friends she was very excited and could not wait to get there.

Cormac and Clodagh showed Sadbh the lovely toys that they got from Santa. Sadbh had a brilliant time and after dinner they had a gift exchange.
Sadbh was so excited when she opened the wrapping to find a lovely jewelry box and two little ponies.

When it came time to head home Sadbh was very upset and did not want to leave.
We were in a rush as we had to make it home before Helen arrived so we could get Sadbh into bed and off to sleep.
Our timing was perfect and shortly after snuggling up to Mommy she was fast asleep.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
