Sadbh’s update – February 21st 2014


Sadbh woke up at 8 and teased me for a while. I tried to hold her hand and she kept pulling away while giggling each time I got close.
Eventually I was able to grab her hand and she held mine for a few minutes until she got bored and wanted to go see Mommy.

Sadbh did a great job eating her breakfast as quickly as possible this morning. She was motivated because we were going to spend the morning at the zoo.
We first had to pick up Aoife, Conor and Aibhin and somehow I was able to fit everyone comfortably into the car.
Our first stop was the penguin enclosure. From there we headed to see jaguars, onto the gorillas, zebras, giraffes, elephants, lions and everything in between.
The kids had a fantastic time and you could tell they learned a lot from the experience.

Ali-Baba came by later in the evening to hang out with Sadbh and to also help me with trach care. Sadbh was way too busy playing and having fun with Ali-Baba and had no desire to stop for trach care. As soon as she found out that there was a tea party planned after trach care she quickly changed her tune. Even Sophia helped out and before Sadbh knew it we were done and she sipping high tea with her pinky in the air.

The rest of Sadbh’s evening was spent playing with Sophia and with the promise of a movie she ate her dinner in record time. I was shocked.

Katie is away for the night on a well-earned night out with her friends and Sadbh was fine with that.
As soon as dinner was over it was time to brush her teeth, change into her pajamas and we both snuggled up while watching Pocahontas. Thankfully Sophia was quick to fast-forward through all the scary bits.
Sadbh enjoyed it and as soon as I hooked up all her equipment she was out like a light.

It was a hectic but fantastic day and it was so good to see Sadbh so happy throughout.




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
