Aloha Friday

Here are some photos from yesterday's Sea Life Park adventure. We had so much fun!

Just got home from Peggy's. We mostly played with Sawyer today. It was a fun day. Betsy McCreary is back - hooray! She read to Peggy from a fabulous book she got her called "Why Cats Paint". So Peggy.

We had a very special visitor this afternoon - Suzanne Maurer! It is always so fun to see her at Peggy's. She got to meet Lehua and Lisa for the first time.

Peggy was having some cuff issues last night. HCA's Eric called it in. Seems the blue stopper at the end of the balloon was stripped, so Cory had him tape it up and Cathy is coming this afternoon to replace it. We're still monitoring the cuff leakage which is a separate issue. Peggy also mentioned that she is still having problems with reflux.

We also were talking about Peggy's spelling and her eyes. We were talking about how it is getting more difficult to tell when she is looking up. Peggy has always looked up for "yes", but more and more she is now spelling out "y-e-s". So we were suggesting to her that from now on, when people ask her a yes or no question, she should look at the 6 for "yes" and the 3 for "no". Peggy was a little concerned that this would be limiting and confusing, but we assured her it was only for yes and no questions. I think she wants to make sure that she is still allowed to fully express herself, so please be sure to let her continue spelling after you get a yes or no. For example, Peggy may spell "no", but she might have more to say about it. In fact, let's face it, in MOST cases Peggy has more to say about it!

Have a great weekend everyone. We're planning to have dinner over at Elroy and Peggy's this coming Sunday night since Briar and Makena are in town (Briar is the wife of Eric's half brother Bruce and their daughter Makena is 12) - they are visiting from Santa Barbara
