Sadbh’s update – day 220


Things were a little bit better for Sadbh last night. She did have to be suctioned a few times, but not like she has throughout the last couple of weeks.

Breakfast was served at 4:45am and this made Sadbh a very happy little girl. After breakfast, she went back to sleep until 8:15, just in time for the day nurse to start her shift.

All in all she had a great day. The weather here has definitely gotten colder and very windy. Sadbh was able to get out for a short while this morning while the sun was out and it gave her an opportunity to enjoy some of the trees in our garden that still have some leaves.

My father took the lead in managing trach care this evening and it all went by quite easy since she was in a deep sleep.

Shortly after I bundled her into bed, she decided that she had enough sleep and it was time for her to hang out with me.

As soon as Katie arrived home, we headed next door to our neighbors for dinner.
Sadbh is so social and was very generous with her smiles and flirts.
Pat and Anna have been very supportive since Sadbh was born and it was great to get to spend the evening in their company.
Their son Charlie, who recently turned 7 is great with Sadbh and it seemed that our little girl couldn’t keep her eyes off of him. Every time he walked by, she almost got whiplash, as she would follow him.

Unfortunately we had to dine and dash as we had passed Sadbh’s bedtime and she was starting to get fussy.

Once we got Sadbh home, it was time to move all her equipment upstairs since we will not have nurses until Sunday night.
Hopefully she will have a good night tonight and that we will all get a decent night sleep.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
