Made in Hawaii - Pau!


We're exhausted, but proud after our LONG "Made in Hawaii" weekend at the Blaisdell. Karen, Kelly, Rhea, Bobbie, and Margaret worked SO hard selling Peggy's artwork and talking to countless Peggy Chun fans all weekend. We had so many fun visits from Peg's Legs and other friends. It was a very fun and successful weekend.

Marvel and Lisa brought Peggy down to the show on Sunday. Peggy got to meet lots of fans, see old friends, and (of course) do some shopping! Peggy also spent some time talking with fellow "abled artist" Morris Nakamura (see photo).Morris, who was mouth-painting at his booth this past weekend, has a genetic form of Muscular Dystrophy that has also stricken both of his brothers.

A couple Peggy updates. Peggy has been complaining about her trach cuff today. She says it feels like she is leaking air, however, there is hardly a gurgle sound coming out. We called it in to HCA and Denise told us she would be by later this afternoon to check it out. It was also reported that she didn't get much sleep last night.

Old friends and former caregivers, Sue and Michelle Fujimoto, stopped by for a visit. Michelle used to be a private hire and then she moved to California 3 years ago.

Eric is here to watch Sawyer while I work a bit, so I better go and take advantage of this baby-free time!
