Sadbh’s update – July 18th 2014


Sadbh slept well and did not require any suctioning. Unfortunately she only managed 10 minutes with her trach being capped but slept soundly until shortly after half past six.

We had a busy morning and Sadbh enjoyed hanging out with Sophia before she headed off camping for the weekend.

Sadbh had an appointment with Dr. Cavanaugh today and he worked on releasing the tension in her rib cage to allow her to breathe easier and also worked on the vertebra to relieve the tension in her neck.

On the way home Sadbh and I stopped off at Trader Joes to pick up some shopping and it did not take long before she found Kangaroo Joey. She was delighted and even more excited to get her treat.

Later in the morning we headed out for a walk through the neighborhood and down to Plum Tree Park. Sadbh was not very patient but was over the moon when we finally arrived. Along the way we stumbled across a fork that was discarded on the street and Sadbh got excited and called out that she found a “Dingle Hopper” (from the movie The Little Mermaid).

We had a lot of fun at the park but Sadbh wore me out. Her imagination ran wild and she did not want to leave. After an hour of non-stop fun it was finally time to head home so Sadbh reluctantly climbed into the wagon and off we went.

Once home it was time for a nice bath. She really enjoyed playing in the tub with all her bath toys and as usual she did not want the fun to end.
She was getting tired so as soon as she was dried off and dressed I put her in bed for a nap. We were both tired as I also fell asleep and we slept for over two hours.

Sadbh had a fun evening as her cousin, Hayato, and Katie’s stepmother, Pat came by for a visit. Ali-Baba and Kirk also came by and Sadbh did not know what to do with all the excitement and attention.

When it came time for bed it took almost two hours before she finally dropped off to sleep. Danielle had to wait out in the living room while Mommy got Sadbh to sleep.






All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
