Fun Art Day at Puna's




Today we had art day at Puna's house. We set up a table in Peggy's room and the kids got to paint. Indy painted some wooden letters for Peggy for her birthday - they spell out "Puna".

We had a short Doc visit yesterday when Dr. Davis was here. Here is the report:

Peggy's left big toenail is a little infected/ingrown. Dr. D got a little pus out. She said that it doesn't hurt too bad. He recommended using a q-tip to apply hydrogen peroxide and/or hydrogen peroxide/saline combo 2x a day for about 5 days...he'll take a look at it next week.

We noticed that Peggy's trach balloon was kind of stained yellow. We accused Lolo of eating curry in bed with Peggy on her shift, but she swears she's innocent. Dr. Davis took a look at it and isn't worried. But it is still a mystery as to what made it yellow!

Today the bed collapsed. It just stopped working. I have a call into the bed repair people, they should be calling me shortly and will come and service the bed. FYI - if Peggy's bed ever goes flat, be sure to tend to her head first because her head will flop forward. Once her head is supported, then you can do your best to make her comfortable with pillows propping her all around. Our best guess is that the bed is overheating since it will usually start working again after a half hour or more. We have a back up air mattress that is located in the bench in Peggy's room. You could use this if the bed just won't go back on...it can be put right on top of the other mattress. Obviously, you need to lift Peggy in the hoyer first.

Tonight is "Lost" night! 3 hours of "Lost"! It is the season finale tonight...so bittersweet for us "Losties"!
