Peggy has developed a stye on the lower lid of her left eye. An eye stye is a common infection of the hair follicle of an eyelash. Styes occurs when staphylococcal bacteria infect one of the tiny glands at the base of the eyelid hairs and then becomes inflamed. This is a reminder that everyone needs to WASH HANDS FREQUENTLY AND THOROUGHLY before touching Peggy's eyes to blink her or administer eye drops.
Denise recommended warm compresses to alleviate the pain and help heal the stye. However, Peggy eye must be taped down before the compress is applied to avoid scratching her cornea. Check in wiht Peggy to see if she needs a compress. Eye styes can last anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks, but Peggy's seems to be getting better already.
Peggy's vent was indeed switched back to the LTV950 yesterday. We are still having trouble with the external battery. As I mentioned before, Denise is working on this with Nancy from Respiratory. There is some confusion on how to read the light signals on the new charger. Here is the code:
Blinking green: ERROR
Blinking yellow: Battery is 80% charged
Solid green: Battery is ready and fully charged
Solid yellow: Battery is charging
