Sadbh’s update – December 8th 2013


Sadbh slept like a log and hardly moved all night. She even allowed us all to sleep in until 8 and when she woke up in a wonderful mood.
I was resting next to her cot when she woke up and all of a sudden Sadbh reached out and started to give me a back rub. It was a very sweet way to wake up.

After breakfast we headed over to West Seattle to pick up a couple of CD’s at Easy Street Records and then to the Farmers Market. It was very cold but Sadbh was snug as a bug. There were a few different music performers at the market and Sadbh was very happy dancing along to the songs.

From there we headed down to Alki beach to throw stones into the sound. Sadbh could not get enough and emptied almost half the beach into the water.

All the excitement was starting to wear Sadbh out so we headed home to do trach care and so Sadbh could nap.
During the drive home Sadbh got to talk to Pops on Mommies phone and when Katie took the phone back Sadbh started to complain that she wanted the phone back so she could check her e-mail.
Trach care went well but Sadbh refused to sleep. She was in a fun mood so we hung out and played until dinnertime.

The fun and games continued throughout the evening and Sadbh’s imagination got very creative. With the use of a couple of blankets she had me build a spaceship so we could fly to the moon and back, about a dozen times or so. Each time we would take off she would pick up a few more of her dolls or stuffed animals. By the last flight she brought Mommy on board.

When it came time for bed Sadbh wanted to snuggle up with me on the floor in the living room in front of the fireplace. She had us turn off all the lights in the house before trying to go to sleep, but eventually she gave up and went to sleep in her cot.
She was out in a matter of a few minutes. The perfect ending to a perfect day.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
