Sadbh’s update – December 4th 2013


Sadbh slept great and did not have to be suctioned. She was congested after she woke up and I managed to suction a couple of nice mucus plugs from her trach.
After breakfast we gave her a nebulizer and this helped keep her trach clear and easy to suction.

It was frigid cold so with Sadbh bundled up nice and warm we headed off out for a stroll. She did not want to go at first but as soon as she saw all the frost she got excited and wanted to go find Frosty the snowman.
Oddly enough we did find Frosty the snowman but it was a decoration hanging over the doorway of a house close to Nora’s woods.

Sadbh enjoyed being out in the crisp cool air and by the time we got back home she had worked up quite the appetite. She had a huge feast and she could hardly keep her eyes open by the time she finished.
Our plan was working as we planned on changing out her trach as part of her monthly trach care schedule.
We are actually almost a week behind due to a delay with our medical supply company processing our orders. Unfortunately they delayed our orders for the past few months but thankfully they are working to get us back on schedule for next month. Fingers crossed.

Trach care went well and when it came time to put in the new trach it took a moment to get it in. Her head was turned slightly to her right, which reduced the size of the entryway for her stoma.
She slept right through and only woke up when I was tying up her trach ties.

She had a fun evening and was very excited when Mommy arrived home.
We showed Mommy how Sadbh sits on my legs pretending to be on a horse. It was so funny and Mommy could not stop laughing. 
By now she was extremely tired and when it came time for bed she was out like a light in seconds.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
