Sadbh’s update – January 18, 2015


Sadbh was up bright and early and spent an hour or so with Harjinder before finally heading up to join us.
We were convinced that she would sleep in since she went to bed so early and were very surprised when she woke up when she did.
Katie and I were up half the night with Cillian so it we were all very tired today.

Granddad and I managed trach care today and afterwards Katie and I surprised Sadbh with a Mommy, Daddy and Sadbh date. She wanted Cillian to come along but since we wanted to pay her some special attention for a few hours we arranged to leave Cillian with his grandparents.

Sadbh was delighted to get out of the house but fell asleep in the car after a short while. This was fine as we also had to run a couple of errands.
When she finally woke up we headed up to Capitol Hill for some frozen yogurt. Sadbh was delighted with herself as today’s special was strawberry cheesecake. She enjoyed her treat and after she devoured it she wanted to dance. The two of us danced for a while and we both had a fantastic time.
She was also very excited about the Seahawks win over Green Bay, despite the fact that none of us are sports fans.

After dinner Sadbh got to watch a movie and she snuggled up next to me for the entire show. It was Monster’s Inc and she was definitely afraid during parts of it.
When it came time for bed she was delirious and put up quite the fight. She had a major meltdown and straight away we had to remove her trach cap so she could breathe properly. It was a stressful time for the three of us and even though she eventually calmed down it still took a long time for her to fall asleep.
Thankfully, though, she was fast asleep before Harjinder arrived.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian.
