Sadbh’s update – May 29th, 2012


Sadbh slept great until 3:45. Katie woke up at the exact same time and when she checked the monitor she noticed that Larissa was soothing Sadbh and trying to get her back to sleep.
Sadbh wanted her mammy, so Katie was summoned for a feeding.
It did not take long before Sadbh was back to bed and in a deep sleep.

She slept until 7:30 and was full of smiles when she woke up.
She had a big appetite and devoured her breakfast. Unfortunately, a piece of toast got stuck in her throat and she ended up puking up all her breakfast. Nini was quick to respond and covered her trach from the mess.

Sadbh was very fussy all day and she was very hard to please.
She did find comfort in her cuddly dog, but just wanted to be held more than anything.
Nini and Destiny rubbed some teething gel into her gums to relieve the pressure and this seemed to work well for a while.

When it came time for trach care, Sadbh had a great sleep allowing Nini and Destiny to get things done without any great difficulty.

Sadbh had a great sleep and was ready for lunch when she woke up. She was still quite cranky, so after she ate Nini distracted her by testing out the Passy Muir Valve. This seemed to work and Sadbh was happy making sounds through her vocal cords.

Afterwards, it was time to head out for a walk through the neighborhood, and Sadbh had a great time. She was way too interested in what was going on and did not want to sleep. This meant that she was extra cranky throughout the rest of the evening and gave us all a run for our money.

By the time I arrived home, you could tell that Nini was exhausted, so I took over to give her a break. It did not take long before Sadbh wiped me out also. I had to try everything in the book to keep her happy and it would only last for a short while until she got bored and wanted to do something totally different.

She was so tired when it came time for bed. I hope she get’s a good night sleep and that her new teeth come in soon and without much more discomfort.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
