Scheduling and Upcoming Events

I've been busy busy busy working on our scheduling issues. I have called tons of agencies and only 3 of them might have people available. I have had a great response to the Craiglist ad. However, none of the applicants have vent experience, so we'll have to do some intensive training, but it could work. I have interviews set up next week.

We had a great interview today with a woman named Matila that Lisa met at the vent training last week. She is wonderful and we felt great about her instantly. She's new to the vent, so she'll need some training, but she is sharp and enthusiastic and very sweet. We have her training with Eric this coming Monday night. She can do overnights which is great.

HCA Eric read the blog and offered to ask around to find us some help. Thanks Eric! The best news is that Michelle called and offered to take next Wednesday and then the following Monday and Tuesday, which leaves us with only one hole in the schedule next week and gives us some time to train someone. Yay! Thanks Michelle! You both are lifesavers.

So things are looking great and I'm feeling less anxious about this situation. Thanks for all of your positive energy and prayers.

Peggy has so much going on...I just worked on filling out her calendar and it is packed! She has an outing this weekend with Sonia, Marvel, and Hanna. They are taking her to some crazy show down the road...something with aerialists and other performances. It is so close that she can just wheel down. Can't wait to see the photos.

Next Saturday, the 22nd, KHNL will air the documentary. We want to do a little viewing party here for all you Legs...we thought it might be fun to all watch it together. The HPU students will be joining us. It airs at 5:30, so we'll shoot for around 5pm. I'll post again about this...

The first weekend in October, Peggy will be going to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce Show at the Blaisdell where we will be selling her artwork...Then she has book signings at Borders the next 2 Saturdays! The first weekend in November is a book launch at Na Mea Hawaii at Ward Warehouse. Can you believe it - Peggy on an island book tour!
