Sadbh’s update – February 14, 2015


Katie and I took turns checking on Sadbh throughout the night. We had to untangle her from her equipment, drain water from her humidifier hose and reset her Oximeter every time it alarmed.
Sadbh slept great and was up bright and early at half past six in the morning.

We had a fun day planned for Sadbh and after breakfast we headed out to Snoqualmie Falls for a horse-riding lesson. Sadbh was a little cranky this morning so she took a nap in the car as we headed to the horse farm.

Sadbh could not believe her eyes when she woke up and saw the horses in the barn.
Shortly after meeting her horse, Jamie, Sadbh got to groom and learn how to clean Jamie’s hooves.  Jamie is 22 years old and spent most of her time with special needs kids so she was a perfect horse for Sadbh.
She was very attentive and also learned how to walk behind Jamie while tapping her hind legs gently so as to let Jamie know where she was and not to startle her.

Next it was off to the riding paddock for the rest of her riding lesson.
Sadbh was a natural and even mounted Jamie without any difficulty.
It was amazing to watch Sadbh riding the horse and how quickly she was able to learn.

The rest of the day was fun and Sadbh was beaming with excitement from her experience.

Later in the evening our friends Neil and Denise came by for dinner. When Sadbh heard this she was happy and told Mommy that she really likes Denise.

Bedtime took a little while but after some snuggles with Mommy she was soon fast asleep.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian
