Sadbh’s update – December 16th 2012


Sadbh woke up at 7am after a great night sleep. Julie’s shift ended at 6am so I headed down to take over. Thankfully Sadbh slept on for another hour and when she woke up she had a huge smile on her face.
We both headed up to Katie as soon as all her equipment was disconnected and turned off.

The weather was terrible so we were house bound for most of the day. This did not bother Sadbh as she had lots to do and plenty of fun. She even wore her trach cap for 20 minutes without any problem.

After a very exciting morning it was time for Sadbh’s nap and trach care. She started off with a nice warm bath and was very happy splashing away in the water.
Trach care was very easy as Sadbh was in a very deep sleep.

When she woke up an hour and a half later she was still in a very good mood.
It was time for lunch and Sadbh had a big appetite.
Afterwards we headed off to Northgate for some Christmas shopping and Sadbh wanted to play with all the toys she came across. I think half of Seattle was in the store with us.

Once we finished up at Northgate we headed over to visit Ali-Baba. Sadbh was so excited and kept saying “Ali-Baba” the whole way there.
Sadbh was so happy to see Ali-Baba and she was fascinated with their miniature Christmas tree.
Kirk surprised Sadbh with his musical Christmas hat and afterwards Sadbh kept calling it a “funny hat”.
She got to open an early Christmas present that she received from Kirk’s parents and it was a very cute home made scarf. She immediately put it on and was very proud of her new scarf.

We all had a great evening and just before we left it was time to sing some Christmas carols to Sadbh. She was thrilled and could not stop dancing.
She really enjoyed herself and could not stop talking about Kirk’s funny hat all the way home.

When it came time for bed, Sadbh was exhausted and had no problem dozing off to sleep.
Julie is working again tonight so Sadbh should have another great night sleep.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
