Sadbh’s update – February 19, 2015


Sadbh woke up a couple of times throughout the night but went back to sleep quickly each time. She finally woke up after Jirapa left and asked me to snuggle up with her for a while before finally getting out of bed.

She was in a wonderful mood and was delighted when Mommy and Cillian came down to join her for breakfast.

In the afternoon, after we finished trach care, we headed off out to Northgate to exchange a book and to pick up a few things along the way. Sadbh was very happy but she was also starting to get tired.

While in the mall we stopped off to pick up some new clothes for Cillian. Sadbh spotted a pair of sparkly slippers, similar to a pair that her friend Clodagh has, and Sadbh wanted them something fierce. Unfortunately for Sadbh, we had no intention in buying them and especially not after the huge tantrum she threw for the next fifteen minutes or so. We had to sanitize and remove her trach cap as she was having difficulty breathing.  She lashed out kicking, slapping, pinching and spitting and I had to carry her out of the mall and back to the car. As soon as I placed her into her car seat she calmed down and soon after she was fast asleep.
It was clearly obvious that she was super tired and this did not help when she did not get what she wanted.

We left her sleep for twenty minutes and when she woke up she was the happiest kid in the world. She instantly apologized, without any prompting from either Katie or myself and you could tell she was genuinely sorry.

The rest of the day was great and Sadbh had so much fun snuggling up with Cillian and playing with her toys.
Bedtime was easy with Sadbh going to sleep without any difficulty.





All the best,

Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian
