Sadbh’s update – December 19th 2012


Sadbh had a much better night sleep and for the first couple of hours she was doing sign language in her sleep.

Unfortunately, the condensed air in her humidifier hose started to build up and the sound of gurgling water woke her up at 5:45. She was very tired and extremely fussy.
Katie comforted her for an hour or so and eventually Sadbh was ready to start the day.

Her morning improved and she had a lot of fun with Granddad and Nana.

Caity worked for a few hours today and at 10:30 Sadbh was ready for her nap and trach care.
She slept for a couple of hours, however she did wake up for a short while half way through.

She had a fun evening but she was definitely a little off form. You could tell that she was very tired but she had no plan to take a second nap.

We met with another new potential nurse tonight and Sadbh seemed to like her straight away. The last two new nurses that we met with recently did not work out so we are going through the whole interview process yet again.
This new nurse has many years of experience with children with tracheotomies so we decided to schedule her to job shadow for the next couple of days while we decide if she is a good fit or not.

Sadbh’s new potty arrived today and she was excited when we opened the package. She dragged it all over the place and when it came time to go to bed we tried to get her to sit on it. She was more interested in playing with the water in the bathroom so she asked each of us to come turn the water on.

Sadbh has gone from calling her grandfather Granddad, Gerred and today she started calling him Geraldie.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Geraldie.
