Sadbh’s update – July 1st 2014



Helen was successful in capping Sadbh’s trach for an hour last night and she took it off when Sadbh reached for it.  Sadbh was relaxed the entire time and was not under any distress. It seems it’s more of a behavioral issue however we don’t want to force it on her and create a negative experience.

She did not want me in her room when she woke up this morning but I soon changed her tune by acting all goofy and making her laugh.

It was a very hot and busy day. Sadbh and I spent the morning out enjoying the beautiful weather in the back garden. We used some of Sadbh’s chalk to draw her friends and some of the characters from Frozen. Mommy and Daddy were even represented along the pathway.
Thankfully we have plenty of shade from the trees in our back yard so I did not have to worry about Sadbh getting sun burnt.

Since it was so hot I figured it would be best not to go for a walk. That was more of a selfish thought since I knew that I would be the one doing all the walking while pulling her royal highness along in her red wagon.

Sadbh couldn’t wait for Mommy to get home from work and after dinner we took care of trach care.
We usually allow Sadbh to watch ten minutes or so of her favorite shows on the iPhone during trach care and sometimes she can keep watching afterwards until the show ends. Tonight we discovered that she has figured out how to rewind by ten minutes or so just before the show ends so she gets to watch a lot longer. Cheeky monkey!

Sophia arrives tonight, long after Sadbh goes to bed and all day Sadbh could not stop talking about waking her up in the morning. She is so excited and was even practicing what she plans on doing as soon as she wakes up.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
