Sadbh’s update – April 4, 2015


I checked in on Sadbh throughout the night and she did good until three in the morning. She woke up and shouted for Katie. Since we have the monitor next to the bed it frightened the two of us but thankfully she was ok and only wanted Katie to snuggle up with her.

She woke up shortly after seven she was ready for the day to start.

We did a bad job at planning our day and I caused most of the issues by spending way too much time on a DYI project in the house.
By the time I had finished we had lost out on the opportunity to get the kids out of the house and to go for a walk around the neighborhood.

Trach care also caused some stress as it took an hour and a half to coordinate a bath and get trach care done afterwards. By the time we were done we were all hungry and running on fumes.

Sadbh’s check in at the hospital was at seven and it was a mad race to get out the door in time. Sadbh was in a wonderful mood and was very excited to be going for a sleep study. I think her excitement was the promise of getting to watch any movie that she wanted.

Katie and Sadbh made it in time and soon Sadbh was kicking back in her hospital bed waiting to get hooked up to all the medical equipment.
There was a huge library of movies to choose from and Sadbh chose the movie “Tangled”, surprise, surprise.

By the time she was taped up and wired to all the equipment she was exhausted and like a zombie. It did not take long for her to fall asleep and I hope she can make it through the night with her trach cap on so the doctors can get some good data.






All the best,

Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian
