Sadbh’s update – day 227


I suppose Sadbh’s current normal sleeping pattern is slightly restless, with coughing that requires suctioning.

She had another one of those nights and since she was sleeping upstairs with us, we were busy making sure her airway was clear throughout the night.

Thursday morning was very nice as we got to snuggle with Sadbh and she even got to sleep with both of us for an hour or so.

We were hosting Thanksgiving dinner for a few family and friends so after Sadbh went to bed Wednesday night, we got busy rearranging the furniture in the house so we could seat 15 adults and 7 kids.
When we brought Sadbh downstairs in the morning, she had a look of confusion on her face since everything was switched around.

In between preparing for dinner, Sadbh got to Skype with my brother back in Ireland and she showed off her favorite toy, the Cookie Monster, that he had send to her.

Shortly after three, our friends started to arrive and Sadbh was delighted as she now had a bunch of friends to play with.
Dinner was great and in the tradition of Thanksgiving, I made a toast giving thanks to all the love and support that we had received from all our family and friends since Sadbh was born. I also toasted my father who has sacrificed so much to come over here and spend all his time away from my mother to help out Sadbh. We are so fortunate.

Sadbh was having too much fun and didn’t go to sleep until after everyone had left, which was at least 4 hours after her regular bedtime.
She can be quite the party animal.



Happy Thanksgiving,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
