Sadbh’s update – September 6th, 2012


Sadbh slept great and did not need any suctioning whatsoever.
It wasn’t until round 6am before she woke up and joined us in bed.  She must have been very restless throughout the night as when Katie lifted her out of her cot, she was turned around and had the oximeter cord wrapped all the way around her neck. Needless to say, it gave Katie quite a fright.  After a quick snack and a snuggle, Sadbh slept on for another hour or so.

As soon as Sadbh heard Cormac, Dylan and Clodagh having breakfast, it was time to join in on the fun.
Sadbh even got to Skype with Cormac and Clodagh’s grandparents back in Dublin.

Once breakfast was finished the fun and games started and each of the kids had a great time.
Sadbh got very tired just as we were getting ready to head out, so we decided to give her a bath and start trach care.
She slept for two full hours and once she woke up she was full of beans.

After lunch we loaded up the car and headed to Lake Chelan for a wander around.
Sadbh was in her element as we walked along the waterfront and she was especially delighted when Katie arrived out of one of the shops with a couple of ice cream cones.
I barely got any of my ice cream before Sadbh gobbled most of it down.

As soon as we arrived home it was time for Sadbh to change into her swimsuit and she off down to spend the afternoon by the pool.
Sadbh had no interest in soaking in the pool, and kept walking around as she found things to throw in.

Sadbh discovered chips and salsa today and even though she was not fully dipping the chips into the salsa, she had the whole motion down and acted as if she had been doing it for years.

Dinner was a fun affair tonight and Sadbh had a laugh with all her friends.
Afterwards Clodagh shared her ice cream with Sadbh and for a second time today she was in heaven.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
