Sadbh’s update – October 17th 2014


Kim was quieter last night, but Katie was still awake most of the night with little sounds. In an effort to keep the noise down as much as possible Kim adopted the concept of “if it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown….” Needless to say, I had to look forward to flushing the toilet full of coffee pee first thing this morning after she left.

Unfortunately, Sadbh wet the bed during the night but Kim did a great job of cleaning her up without waking her up.

Sadbh had an appointment with Dr. Cavanaugh first thing this morning. Moments before we were ready to head out the door we received a call from Cavanaugh’s office explaining that he had a slight cold and it would be fine to cancel if wanted to avoid Sadbh getting sick.
We were very grateful and decided to reschedule the appointment for later next week.

Before lunchtime Sadbh and I headed out to the shops to get some groceries. Sadbh had fun in the first market as she got to push a mini trolley around the store.
When we arrived at Trader Joes things took a nosedive. Sadbh spotted a pack of cupcakes that she really wanted and once she realized that she was not getting them she threw a huge tantrum in the store.
It took a while to calm her down and it was stressful having to sanitize and to take her trach cap off so she could relax her breathing.

Once home it was time to Skype with Nana and Granddad and Sadbh was over the moon to see them. She asked if they were coming to spend Christmas with her and she got so excited when they said yes.

The rest of the day was spent reading and playing and trying to keep up with Sadbh’s high energy levels. She does not slow down and since she does not get to play with too many kids her own age she expects me to spend every waking moment playing with her.

In the evening we carved out one of her pumpkins for Halloween and Sadbh had a blast.

Trach care went well tonight and Sadbh headed to bed afterwards.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
