Sadbh’s update – February 25 2016


Sadbh had her pre-op appointment with Dr. Inglis today and we were all excited and nervous.

We discussed how Sadbh often struggles to breathe, especially when she is tired or upset, and how she has dealt with colds since she has been trach free.

He was satisfied with Sadbh’s progress and gave us the green light to have her stoma closed up surgically.

She is scheduled for surgery on March 7th and she will stay in overnight for observation.

While we are delighted that Sadbh’s stoma will soon be closed up and that she will be able to lead a more normal life, we are still very aware that she has a restricted airway that will limit her in participating in activities where she over exerts herself.
The procedure that has allowed her to be trach free has also damaged her voice and now she has a soft whispery voice and she has to work hard to be heard.








All the best,

Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian
