Monday Update

Well, it is almost 8pm and I'm still here at Peggy's. Been here working all day, but then Jen, Jason, and the girls said they were gonna bring by pizza so we're all here now hanging out. Peggy got up in the wheelchair and directed Karen, Marvel, and myself in the kitchen. She had us make these delicious stuffed mushrooms and then an angel food cake with strawberries and whip cream. Yum. The kids loved the dessert.

Emma brought her new puppy, "Cooper", with her tonight. To say that this 5 week old puppy is adorable is an understatement! It looks like a tiny little bear. We have all been taking turns snuggling her. As I'm sitting here, I can hear everyone talking, Marvel spelling, all the kids - Indy, Sawyer, Jade, and Cian screaming and giggling...Opera music is blasting from Peggy's room...classic Chun chaos.

Today Cathy had to come by this morning to check the cuff. Peggy's lips were fluttering and the balloon felt soft. She checked it and Peggy had lost 2-1/2 CCs since Friday. When she was here Friday she had lost 1 CC. We're not sure what is going on, but it is sometimes affecting her sleep. Marvel had to call HCA again tonight.

We know that some air leakage is normal and since her O2 levels and everything are not affected, this is not an emergent issue. However, she is fairly uncomfortable and if her sleep is affected then we need to address this issue. Hopefully we'll have more info and ideas soon.

The Hawaii Woman Expo this past weekend was great. We have seen a lot of interest in The Watercolor Cat and people LOVED seeing Peggy on Saturday at the show. The Na Leo Lani choir sang for her and lots of fans came up to talk with her and tell her what an inspiration she is. It was a mellow show - not as profitable as Made in Hawaii, but it was such a pleasant show to do - such great energy and a lot of fun. Big thanks to Karen, Ania, Kelly, Margaret, Bobbie, Shelly, Marvel, and Elroy for helping us with the show and thanks to all of you who visited our booth!

OK, I'm off...I can hear Eric doing "magic" for the kids in the living room! They are currently chanting "more magic, more magic"! Too cute. I'm not going to be around the house tomorrow - I have to wait at the house all day for Hawaiian Telcom to come set up our service (we are switching back from Oceanic Digital Phone service which we weren't thrilled with). Then the kids have their swim lessons!
