Sadbh’s update – December 17th 2012


Sadbh woke up around 1am and was in a great deal of discomfort. It seems that a new tooth was coming through so Julie gave her some Oragel and an hour later Sadbh was back to sleep.
It was a very windy night so this did not help either. Overall Sadbh had a restless night sleep.

I had the day off from work so I took over when Julie’s shift ended at 6.
Sadbh was finally in a deep sleep by now so I got comfortable in the chair next to her cot and hung out until she woke up at 7:20.
She was in a really good mood when she woke up and had a huge smile when she saw me.
We headed up to Katie as soon as possible and Sadbh immediately wanted to watch Baby Signing Time.  Instead, she watched a few minutes of Elmo blowing bubbles. She couldn’t stop talking about it all day.

It was a cold but dry day so later in the morning Sadbh and her entourage bundled up and all headed out for a long walk. Sadbh was delighted as usual and did not mind the cold.

She was full of energy when she returned home and was chatting about everything that she saw.
Unfortunately, she lost one of her mittens while she was out so my mum went back out to find it. Despite the cold, my mum was determined to find that elusive mitt and thankfully she returned home successful.

Sadbh and I had so much fun playing throughout the morning so when it came time for trach care she was exhausted and tired.
She slept for two and a half hours and woke up happy and hungry.

She only wore her cap once today however she wore it for an hour and seventeen minutes without a break. She did fantastic and had no difficulties whatsoever.

Sadbh spotted the moon through the window this evening and got very excited. She had not seen it in a while so she could not stop looking out the window.
Sadbh, Granddad and Nana even got a chance to go outside to look at the moon and Sadbh was in her element.
As soon as they arrived back inside, Sadbh took her new scarf off and somehow the Velcro from her trach tie was attached to it. This accidentally undid her trach tie, which could have caused her trach to pop out if it weren’t for the quick reaction of my mum who secured it back down.

Bedtime was slightly later than usual and we got a chance to read a couple of books before it was finally time to go to bed. She was in a very cuddly mood and fell asleep quickly.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
