Tuesday Update

I went to visit Elroy at Queen's today. He seems to be doing better, but they are still monitoring everything. Looks like he is going to be there for at least a couple more days.

We had a few visitors today...some shoppers and a lovely woman named Annette (and her family) from California who also has ALS.

Sawyer and Pepper are here playing and making noise. It has been quite difficult to spell with Peggy today and the past few days. I have been getting reports from all the private hires that they are having a hard time getting much out.

I think that it is no secret that it is getting more and more difficult to spell with Peggy. Please know that it is not just you, that in fact everyone is having a hard time.

We want you to know that your PRESENCE is the most important thing you can give Peggy. Even if you are not able to spell on your shift, just being PRESENT for her is the greatest thing you can give her. Peggy may not be able to respond or communicate as well, but she appreciates you just being the BEST YOU that you can be. She loves to hear your stories, feel your touch, and just BE in your LOVING PRESENCE.
