Sadbh’s update – May 17th 2014


Sadbh slept for a couple of hours with her trach cap on but we noticed her chest was retracting quite a bit so we pulled the cap off to give her a break.
Danielle capped Sadbh’s trach a couple more times throughout the night but it did not last long each time.

Sadbh had a tough start to the day when she fell out of bed around 5am. Danielle put her back in bed and comforted her until she stopped crying and fell back to sleep. Katie and I were very surprised that she fell out of the bed, especially since there was someone sitting in the room next to her. We were disappointed that we were not called down when it happened.

When Sadbh finally woke up she started coughing like crazy. After a while she threw up but thankfully she was in very good spirits.
This happened a number of times throughout the morning and it seems like she was working hard to clear some secretions from deep in her lungs.  She was also complaining that her belly hurt, so maybe she was fighting a small bug.

Today is Nini’s birthday so Sadbh wanted to wish her a happy birthday. Mommy recorded a video of Sadbh singing and sent it to Nini, it was very cute.

Overall Sadbh had a lazy but fun day. She took a nap with Mommy at one point and woke up well rested and with a big appetite.  From that point on, she seemed fine.  No more coughing and no more belly ache.

It was Katie’s company party tonight and since Sadbh was doing much better this evening we left Sadbh with Su-Jin.
Sadbh was looking forward to seeing Su-Jin all day and when she arrived she was excited to show off all of her dolls and horses.

Sadbh and Su-Jin had a lovely evening and bedtime came a little later than usual.
Sadbh finally fell asleep with her cap on and she lasted just over an hour.






All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
