Sadbh’s update – August 27th 2014


Sadbh had another good night but shortly before 6 I discovered that her humidifier saline bag was bone dry. I was surprised that the humidifier did not alarm but I should have noticed it before she went to bed. Thankfully her airway did not seem to dry out and when she woke up a couple of hours later she was in a very good mood.

Sadbh had a fun morning with all her friends and later they all got to head down to the beach for some fun in the sun.
Katie and I took turns watching over Sadbh to make sure she did not get sand or water near her trach. It was a stressful few hours but Sadbh had a wonderful time and really enjoyed playing on the beach.

Once home it was time to hose off the sand and get ready for trach care. Sadbh was exhausted and allowed us to manage trach care without any difficulties. As soon as we finished she lay back on the bed and fell into a much-needed sleep.

The rest of the evening was spent playing with her friends and after nightfall Sadbh and I headed out with Clodagh and Dylan to search for crickets. Sadbh was all excited and very happy to use her bright and shiny flashlight. We found a couple of crickets but they were buried too deep in the bushes for us to get them.

Bedtime was very late and Sadbh was not a happy camper. It took a great deal of effort by Katie to get her off to sleep but eventually Sadbh dozed off.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
