Sadbh’s update – February 5th 2013


Sadbh had a restless night and woke up a number of times. Larissa was able to get her back to sleep each time, but her heart rate did not drop below 100 for long throughout the night.

She woke up around 6:45 in great spirits. She was very happy to see Katie and before breakfast she wanted to sit in the rocking chair to read one of her books. It was a sweet moment but was made even sweeter when she had all her binkys in her lap.
Afterwards it was time for breakfast in which she devoured with serious determination.
As soon as she was finished with breakfast, it was time to play with Nana and Granddad.

Sadbh did not have a nurse working today so Ali-Baba came by to hang out and help with trach care. Sadbh was delighted to see her and Ali-Baba got stuck in on the fun.

For lunch she had a tiny drop of Irish Tea mixed in with her milk. She was in heaven and really enjoyed the tea, even though it was very milky.
Trach care was a little later than usual today but Sadbh had no problem falling asleep. She slept right through it and on for two hours.

She had a fun packed evening and got to play with a model train set that she got from her cousins in New Zealand. Conor has the same train and knew that Sadbh would love it so he got his mom to get one for Sadbh. Conor was right and Sadbh loved it.

She wore her Passy Muir Valve for a few hours today and just before dinner she asked Katie to put her cap on. She tolerated it for a few minutes but it seems that we are slowly getting back on track to practicing her PMV and cap in preparation for her next visit with Dr. Inglis.

Bedtime was hilarious as Sadbh had to try on a few different pajamas. She wouldn’t allow us to put her pajama bottoms on and insisted on wearing them around her neck like a scarf. Eventually we got one pair on, but she still had to wear the other as a scarf and then she could not stop checking herself out in the mirror.
She did look adorable, but she knew that also.



All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
