A Few Things

We've been getting Eric ready for his trip this weekend. He leaves tomorrow! And Karen left last night for Vegas, Baby! I thought of a few things to update everyone about...

First of all, this week Wednesday, January 23rd, Peggy will be going to St. Teresa's church in Kalihi at 7pm for a Mass for Mother Marianne. Our Lolo will be singing at the mass! This will be a beautiful treat, one not to miss.

Immacule Ilibagiza, Rwandan genocide survivor and inspirational speaker, was in town last week to give various talks around the island. She really wanted to visit Peggy again and tried to get to the house a few times, but just was not able to fit it in her schedule this time. A few Legs were able to hear her speak and said that it was truly amazing.

Peggy's health has been great lately. Nurse Cathy came by on Friday and checked the cuff which was down to 13CCs. She put 15CCs back in. It is normal for Peggy to lose a couple CCs of air like this over a period of time, not something we need to worry about.

I'm happy to report that Peggy's hallucinations seem to have subsided. It may be that she is getting less oxydose.

Peggy has been expressing interest in getting back on the ERICA computer. We're not sure if it will work with all the eye gels she is putting in (it might interfere with the infrared) but we're gonna try. I tried to set up the system, but we have a frayed wire and so the camera can't connect. I contacted the ERICA guys and hopefully we can get it working soon.

Some of you may have noticed that Cola has some bald spots. While it is not cute, the balding isn't a major health issue - she is just allergic to fleas. I waited just a little too long to give her the flea meds and so the balding started again. But we gave her the meds last Tuesday, so she should be looking better soon. Until then, just tell Cola she looks great - she's a little self conscious about it.
