Sadbh’s update – August 16th, 2012


Sadbh slept great through the night, thanks to Larissa.  She woke up at 6:15, just in time to say goodbye to Daddy who was heading off to L.A. for a business trip. 

She was ready to start her day with a big breakfast that included scrambled eggs with cheese and banana. 

After that, she had some playtime with Nini.  Audrey worked today and Sadbh was very happy to see her.  Sadbh, Nini and Audrey had lots of fun together running through the house, collecting all of Sadbh’s toys and bringing them to her big chair.

She would then sit in it very proudly surrounded by her favorite toys.  It was as if she was the big boss, with her work (books and toys) and co-workers (dolls and stuffed animals) surrounding her.

Soon she got very tired and Nini and Audrey prepared everything for trach care.  It went well and Sadbh slept afterwards for just short of an hour.

When she woke up she was still very tired, but after a big lunch she was happy again.  Suddenly the door opened and Katie was standing there.  Sadbh was over the moon over this surprise.  Katie and her friend Joni had stopped by for lunch.  Sadbh was very excited and couldn’t stop smiling while eating lots of watermelon.  Sadbh was a bit shy of Joni at first, but by the end of the short visit, she couldn’t resist giving her a little kiss goodbye.

It was very hot today (up in the 90’s!), but Audrey, Nini and Sadbh still went for a walk and visited a playground.  Sadbh was very happy and couldn’t stop running around exploring everything.  She wore the Passy Muir for 30 minutes, but got very dry because of the heat so Nini took it off.

As soon as they were back home, Sadbh was exhausted and fell asleep.  After a brief nap, she was in a much better mood and was ready for more playtime with Nini.

Nini noticed that around 4:30 (the time when Daddy usually comes home), with every car that went by, Sadbh would make the sign for Daddy and look out the window.  It is amazing how in tune she is with the time of the day and the routine.

After a quick snack, they headed down in the basement where it was nice and cool and read some of Sadbh’s favorite books.  Later in the evening, Sadbh, Nini and Katie ate dinner outside and Sadbh got to eat some corn on the cob.

Sadbh’s friend Grace gave her a beautiful drawing today of an underwater picture.  Sadbh loved it and carried it around all evening.  Grace wrote on it “I love Sadbh”.  It is very special and Sadbh cant wait for her next play date with Grace.
It was a very beautiful day and by the end of it, Sadbh was so tired that she fell straight asleep.  Daddy will be home later tonight and Sadbh will be so excited to play with him tomorrow.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
