Today Peggy had her Tele-Med Doctor visit with Dr.Davis. She was complaining of pain - says it has been higher, but it's not body aches so much as trach pain, mouth pain, burning eyes, and an old ankle injury. Dr. Davis has also put Peggy on some iron because her iron levels were a bit low. Peggy says she has "tired blood".
Ty Jenkins is bringing a plastic surgeon in next week to possibly do a little bedside surgery on Peggy's eyes. The idea is that they will surgically sew shut a tiny bit of her eyelids so that her eyes don't dry out as much. As scary as that sounds, Ty assures us that it is common for people with dry eyes and won't make her look much different.
Catherine (Healthcare Alternatives RN) told us that it is better that we do doctor visits at noon - it's easier to catch Dr.Davis at this time rather than in the afternoon. Peggy missed her doctor visit last week because she was too tired to do it at noon last week.
Healthcare Alternatives invited us to their New Year's party this coming Saturday. Peggy wants to go, so we'll be making arrangements for it this week.
No real news to report on the battery. We got about 3 hours on the one they gave us. Better than nothing. They have not yet delivered our spare. I need to call them. Pacific Island Medical delivered a new yankaur machine for us last Friday night, so that's great.
Today Marita brought with her some video that Joyce Hunt had put together of the "Goddesses". The footage was from about 10 years ago. It was so fun to watch! We got to watch Peggy painting in her studio in the attic, partying with the goddesses, camping with the Beamers. Wow. It was such a trip to see what Peggy's house looked like too! Oh, and one of the day's highlights was when Marita held Sawyer up above her head and he spit up on her face! It landed right on her mouth! Priceless :)
