Sadbh’s update – October 6th 2014


Sadbh needed to be suctioned a number of times throughout the night. Other than that she had a great night sleep and was still in a deep sleep when I took over from Danielle at six.

She slept on for another hour or so. Her trach was still very goopy so I gave her a saline nebulizer to loosen things up and suctioned until her airway was clear. It took a while and Sadbh was very cooperative throughout.

Our morning was spent playing with her ponies and reading books. She really enjoys the Disney classics and loves to incorporate them into her role-playing.

When Ali-Baba arrived she brought Sadbh a gift of a bracelet that her cousin Liberty made for her. Sadbh was very excited and could not wait to wear it. Eventually it became a belt for one of her favorite ponies.

Ali-Baba and I got trach care out of the way as soon as we could and afterwards Sadbh brought Ali-Baba out to the garden to check out her pumpkins and the countless spider webs. She tried to feed one spider a worm that she found but the spider didn’t take to it.

The rest of the evening was spent playing and having fun and Sadbh really had a great time.
By bed she was completely wiped out and fell asleep in record time.
Katie had to suction just before she fell asleep and once Kim arrived we went over the procedure since Kim has not yet suctioned Sadbh since she started working with us.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
