Sadbh’s update – July 18 2015


Sadbh slept great for the first few hours with her trach cap on but became restless around one in the morning. Jirapa was keeping a close eye on her and when she felt that Sadbh was struggling slightly she removed the trach cap to relieve the pressure. Sadbh slept like a log for the rest of the night.

Our friends, Hailey and Martin, were coming by for dinner today and Sadbh was so excited to get to hang out with their three kids, Ronan, Aoife and Oisin.
Katie and I managed to get trach care done just before our guests arrived and as soon as Sadbh was dressed she headed out into the back yard with her friends to show them her house. The kids had a wonderful time but unfortunately Katie and I let our guard down and did not remind Sadbh not to play in the dirt. Before long she was covered from head to toe in dust so we had to give her a bath but thankfully we did not have to do trach care again. It was a close call but it all worked out in the end.

The kids had a great time together but when it came time for them to leave Sadbh was not happy. She was extremely tired and was very disappointed that her friends were leaving. She must have cried for almost an hour afterwards. It was a struggle to get her changed and into bed but as soon as her head hit the pillow she was out like a light.             

We don’t have a nurse tonight so I will leave her trach capped until I go to bed.






All the best,

Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian
