Downtown Chinatown Chronicle

We stopped by Peggy's yesterday afternoon to pick up Elroy and go down to Chinatown for Chinese New Year. We had to show off the kids' outfits that Elroy had got them!

A few things...We've had a few scheduling mix-ups over the past few days. We want to send out a BIG BIG BIG thank you to all of you who helped us cover the shifts. Just a few reminders and requests that will make the scheduling go as smoothly as possible and help our scheduling ANGEL Suzanne with her tough job:

1 - I will do a better job of trying to have an accurate calendar posted in Peggy's room. However, NEVER assume that the calendar in her room is the most recent and most accurate! If you have a question - ALWAYS check with Suzanne to confirm.

2 - It always helps Suzanne to hear back from you - if possible, even if you CAN'T take a shift, please take a moment to call her back just to let her know...she rather hear a "no" from you than not hear from you at all!

3 - If you have an important scheduling issue for Suzanne - leave a message on BOTH her cell phone and her home phone to be sure she gets it with enough time to handle the situation. And remember, Suzanne is only human, so checking to be sure that she got an email and/or confirming schedule changes doesn't hurt and can definitely help!

Thanks Everyone! A few other notes...the internet has been acting funky at the house lately. It has been very temperamental and so may not always be working in Peggy's room until we have a chance to figure out what the problem is. We're working on it.

Another reminder - PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE MIXED MEDS and/or DIRTY SYRINGES for the next shift! Be sure to administer any meds or let the next shift know what you have mixed and needs to be given to Peggy. Also, once you give her the meds, rinse the syringes right away so that they don't get crusty and clogged. This will help us to save money by not wasting meds or syringes. Mahalo!
