Vent Issues, Pepper Jones, and Last Night's Party




This morning around 6am Peggy had some trouble with the vent. Salote was on shift and the vent started alarming low and high pressure. She reported that Peggy's O2 went down to 50, so she called HCA and bagged her until Cathy came.

When Cathy came, she changed out the whole circuit which seemed to fix things. They also noticed that Peggy had a mild temperature of about 100.3. This, however, is probably unrelated to the vent issue. Cathy told us to monitor her SATs and to call if her temperature continues. Peggy's SATs and temp have been fine all day, so we haven't called in.

We have noticed, however, that Peggy has been EXTREMELY tired all day. She has been totally narcoleptic, slipping in and out of sleep all morning. She has been falling asleep while we're talking to her, mid-spelling, even when Lisa was giving her PM in the eye! She seems to be perkier now that it is afternoon.

We had a great surprise today...Kelly came by with her 16 day old baby girl! Pepper Jones was born on Saturday, December 22nd after 22 hours of labor. She is a big girl - 9 lbs 11 ounces at birth! She is so cute! It was so great to see both Kelly and little Pepper looking so good and so happy. Enjoy the long awaited photos of Baby Jones!

Last night's Epiphany party was nice. I have to confess, I was totally partied out even before I got to the party, but after a glass of delicious wine that Hanna brought, I was feeling much more festive. Marvel did tons of cooking for Peggy, there were yummy potluck contributions, and Kat, Pono, and Ryan baked a fabulous 3 Kings Cake with a hidden bean for good luck. Jen Segler was the lucky bean finder of the night!

One more quick note - Refresh PM now comes in a different looking tube. The packaging is slightly different, but you'll see it - just thought we'd let everyone know so that you don't keep looking for the old type of tube.

Hey Peg,
I think I've had that same low oxygen feeling before - at 14,000 feet on Uncompahgre smoking too much...

Love, Peter

And since I am new at this and just now noticed that it is for caregivers I hope it is OK to send messages to Peg also.
