Sadbh’s update – August 20th 2014


Sadbh slept like a log and woke up very happy just before half seven.
She did not have much of an appetite but was more obsessed with spending her morning playing with Sarah and Edgar. She had a lot of fun and by the time they finished up she had worked up an appetite.

Sarah and Edgar headed out to meet a friend and to do a spot of sightseeing and Sadbh was sad to see them go.
We had a fun day regardless and scoured the house for all sorts of scary creatures and monsters.
We also got to chase bubbles in the garden while wearing wellies and a tutu. Well, Sadbh did anyway.  What better way to spend the day?

Sadbh’s voice is still very quiet and she did not want to wear her trach cap. Since she was wearing her humidifier nose she built up quiet a lot of thick secretions. As a result I gave her a saline nebulizer and read her a book. By the time the nebulizer was finished she was fast asleep in the armchair.

An hour later I had to wake her up as it was starting to get late. She wasn’t too happy until I broke out a Popsicle and this changed everything.

We got trach care out of the way as soon as Mommy arrived and Katie realized one of her biggest nightmares. We found a little insect next to Sadbh’s stoma and after further inspection we discovered it was a fruit fly. It was still moving a little.  Thankfully we caught it and can only imagine what would happen if it went inside.

After trach care we headed out for pizza with Sarah and Edgar. Sadbh knew that she was going to get ice cream so she demolished her pizza so she could satisfy her sweet tooth.

Bedtime was very late and she did not fall asleep until almost ten PM.






All the best,

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh
