Sadbh’s update – February 9th 2014


Due to the sudden snowfall Danielle could not make it to work last night. Thankfully Helen was available and watched over Sadbh for the night.
The neighborhood was quite active with people out enjoying the snow however Sadbh slept right through all the laughter and fun.

She woke up before Helen’s shift ended and after giving Helen a big smile she turned over and pretended to go back to sleep. Mommy was watching this on the monitor and as soon as she walked into the room Sadbh got up. She got to hang out with Helen for a while which was good as Helen really only sees Sadbh sleeping and rarely ever sees her awake.

Sadbh got a nice cup of drinking chocolate for breakfast this morning but she was too eager and choked on her beverage and some went down her airway. Katie reacted quickly and pulled her trach cap off. As Sadbh coughed some chocolate milk came out of her trach so Katie hurried her into her bedroom and suctioned her trach. She was able to clear what she could of the drinking chocolate from her trach and airway. Sadbh seemed fine but wanted a break from her cap for a while.

After breakfast we wrapped up very warm and headed out into the snow to build a snowman and make snow angels. Sadbh was beside herself out in the snow and did a great job helping build a snowman. As soon as she placed the carrot onto the head she posed with Mommy for a photo and tried to get a bite out of it. I was surprised, as she does not actually like carrots. She had a huge grin on her face so I think she was trying to be funny.
She also had fun making snow angels and eating snow.

As soon as we were back in the house and warmed up Sadbh got to Skype with her cousin Fionn back in Cork. It was great to see him thriving so well despite the difficult journey that he has undertaken over the past nine months.
Sadbh was busy doting over Fionn and gave him a bunch of kisses. I cannot wait for these two cousins to meet.

Sophia was still feeling sick so Sadbh kept her distance all day.
Hopefully Sophia will start to feel better in the next day or so.           




All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
