Sadbh’s update – January 4, 2015


It was another very long night for Katie, Cillian and myself. Sadbh, thankfully, slept like a log and she woke up at quarter past seven. As soon as she was unhooked she was off upstairs and straight over to see her brother. Cillian was fast asleep so Sadbh had to wait to cuddle him until he woke up.

Harjinder told us that Sadbh woke up during the night and asked if she still had her trach cap on. Harjinder explained that it was removed after an hour in which Sadbh asked why. Sadbh then explained that she needed to sleep with it on all night to make Nana happy.

Sadbh had a good morning and around noon her friend Aidan and his parents came by for a visit. After introducing everyone to her little brother Sadbh and Aidan had a great time hanging out with each other and they got stuck into the toys in the basement.
Sadbh was sad to see them leave.

All morning Sadbh was eager for us to manage her monthly trach change. She really wanted the new horse and rider that Nana and Granddad bought her yesterday.
After lunch it was time for a bath and then trach care. Granddad helped out by holding her new toy up high so she could look at it while Katie and I managed trach care and her trach change. She was a super star and allowed us to get it done without any stress or fussing.

Later in the day Clodagh, Cormac and their parents came by for a visit. Sadbh and the two kids had a lot of fun and Derek and Suzie got to dote over Cillian.
The three kids had a fun evening and it was big hugs all around when it came time to leave. Sadbh was so enthusiastic when hugging Cormac that she almost knocked the poor kid over.

When the Crean’s left Sadbh discovered that Clodagh had decorated her room with her new toys. It was really well set up and Sadbh was extremely impressed and delighted.

By evening Sadbh was getting tired and difficult to deal with. It had been a long day and it was starting to take its toll on her. Thankfully by bedtime she realized that she needed to be nicer to everyone and she was very apologetic.

Despite being completely knackered, it took almost an hour to get her to sleep.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian.
