Sadbh’s update – February 1st 2014


Sadbh slept very well and woke up just as Danielle’s shift ended at 7am. She was delighted to see Mommy stepping into her room.

Katie had a yoga class this morning so I hung out with Sadbh and got to play with her dollhouse and stuffed animals. I’m constantly amazed at her imagination and the level of detail that she incorporates into her play.

After Mommy came home we took care of trach care and then headed down to the International District to join in on the Chinese New Year festivities. It was fantastic with dragon dances, loud drums and all sorts of other interesting activities.
We spotted a few ponies and horses giving rides so we had to go over to investigate. The poor ponies and horses looked miserable and Sadbh kept saying “sad horsies”. I’m glad that she did not want to go for a ride as we did not want to contribute to the suffering of these lovely animals.

Later in the evening we met up with Ali-Baba and Kirk for dinner. By now Sadbh was getting very tired and found it hard to sit still in the restaurant. Nevertheless she tolerated having to sit through dinner and allowed the rest of us to have a good meal.
When it was time to say good-bye she clung onto Ali-Baba and gave her the longest kiss ever.

She did not last long on the trip home and was fast asleep within ten minutes. She hasn’t fallen asleep before 8pm in a while and there was no waking her up when we changed her into her pajamas.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
