Sadbh’s update – January 20th 2014


Sadbh slept great but woke up shortly after 6. She quietly lay in her cot for a while but eventually she wanted to get up. Since it was still quite early I tried to get her to go back to sleep but the end result was that Sadbh was up and both of us were very cranky with each other.

After breakfast, Sadbh, Jenna and I took a trip to Costco to pick up a few things. Along the way we stopped off to drop something off with Mommy and Sadbh was so happy to see her. She was in disbelief when Mommy opened the door to give her a big kiss.

Costco was busy as usual but we were fortunate to get parking close to the entrance. I loaded up the stroller with all of Sadbh’s equipment while Jenna got Sadbh’s jacket and shoes on and got her out of the car. Unfortunately when she went to close the door she did not keep her eye on Sadbh and hit her with the door knocking her to the ground.
Poor Sadbh was in an awful shock but I quickly had her in my arms and was able to remove her trach cap so she could breathe easily. When she gets upset or very excited she struggles to breathe with the trach cap on.
Thankfully Sadbh was not hurt, other than the surprise of it all.

When we got home we took care of trach care and Sadbh was very cooperative.  The early morning got to her and she got very sleepy.
Rather than allow her to sleep, which would prove very difficult to get her to bed in the evening, she had a big lunch and then we headed out to Nora’s Woods for a walk. It was a beautiful sunny day and she was delighted to be out and about.

By dinnertime Sadbh was a zombie however she had a huge appetite and kept eating everything that was put in front of her. She ate twice as much food as I did.
Despite going to bed almost and hour later than usual, bedtime was very easy.  After a nice snuggle with Mommy Sadbh was fast asleep in no time whatsoever.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
