Sadbh’s update – December 5, 2014


Sadbh slept well however I had a tough time sleeping as she was grinding her teeth all night.
She slept in until half past eight and was in a great mood. Mommy had already left as she had an appointment first thing this morning and thankfully Sadbh was not upset.

Sadbh was in for a couple of treats today.
First, Ali-Baba came by around ten for a play date and to help with trach care. Sadbh and I were working on a jigsaw puzzle when she arrived and Sadbh was so excited when she heard the knock at the door.
Ali-Baba brought a jigsaw puzzle for Sadbh and she could not wait to put it together.
Once the puzzle was solved it was time to read some books until it was time for trach care. Trach care went well and soon it was time for lunch.

Ali-Baba left shortly after lunch and Sadbh was sad to see her go.
She was in for treat number two, her friend Charlie from down the street was coming by for a play date.
Sadbh could not wait and as soon as Charlie arrived with her dad, Tom, Sadbh was eager to bring her downstairs to play with her toys.
The two girls got along very well and had a great time. Charlie even told us one of her jokes and had us all in hysterics.
Eventually Sadbh started to have a tough time sharing her toys and she ended up having a bit of a melt down. I think she was tired after an exciting day but it was definitely putting a strain on the fun activities.
Charlie was a great sport all the same and did not want to leave.
We are already plotting their next play date for next week.

As soon as Charlie left Sadbh got very needy. I had to remove her trach cap numerous times in an effort to help calm her down and eventually I gave her a hug and laid her down for a nap. She was exhausted and fell asleep in an instant. I allowed her to sleep for a half an hour and she woke up in a much better mood.
The rest of the evening was much better and she was full of fun and laughter.
The late nap backfired when it came time for bed and Sadbh would not fall asleep. I kept Harjinder entertained while Katie watched over Sadbh until she finally fell asleep until shortly after ten when she finally dozed off.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
