Random Medical Updates

Productive day today. We got to video chat with Peggy's daughter Leslie and see little Hanalei "live"! It was so much fun and so easy with "Skype" on my laptop. Peggy's eyes were a little funky today, not a great eye day. So we'll try again on a better eye day soon. But she could see Hana's adorable little face and we could hear Leslie and Stu perfectly! It was amazing!

A few medical updates:

Peggy has a raw patch of skin on her left ear. We think it is from the face mask rubbing her skin. We are treating with duo-derm patches and keeping an eye on it.

Kelly is on top of all the meds ordering. We have 50 tubes of Refresh PM coming to us in the mail. We are currently down to only 3 tubes. Lisa reminded us that if we patch Peggy's eyes as soon as they look red, we will cut down on the need for as much PM gel.

Christie is no longer available for bath. She will call us M, W, F around 3pm to ask Peggy if she is interested in having an afternoon bath. Peggy doesn't tend to like this as it is right in the middle of her day, but we have that option. We will work on finding a new bath aide, but until then our private hires will be helping pick up the slack.

FYI - Eric and Michelle will be going on vacation this month for a couple of weeks 9/11 through 9/25. We have all of their shifts covered. Lisa will be taking some overnights and both Lisa and Leah will be coming in at 6am some days. Thank you so much to all of you who helped get all this covered.

That's all folks - be sure to read the previous blog post - don't miss our super fun spa party! I can't wait!!!!!
