Spooktacular

Sawyer was puking all day yesterday, but he is back to himself today. We did take him in to the doctor to get him cultured for Salmonella. We will not have results until tomorrow, but they didn't seem to think that his symptoms were that of Salmonella poisoning. Nonetheless, I spoke with Cory and she and Dr. Davis want to stress that if any of you are having any GI symptoms, you need to go get tested in case you do have Salmonella in your system. You will need to be treated by antibiotics or else it may lay dormant and keep returning/spreading. Any time there is an outbreak of Salmonella it needs to be reported to the Health Department. Dr. Davis has reported Peggy's case and needs to give more info to them if there are more people infected.

Despite having a sick kid on our hands yesterday, I did make it in to the office for a bit (Eric had Sawyer at home) for a fundraising meeting in Peggy's room. Pat Gamble, Pokey, Pat Lokatos, Karen, Kelly, Kat, Lisa, Peggy, and I all met - and Conne Sutherland by phone - to discuss our next big event! It is "A Spooktacular Picnic with Peggy Chun". Here is the info:


Calling all Whimsical Witches (and Warlocks)...You are cordially invited to a Spooktacular Halloween Picnic with Peggy Chun on Sunday, October 26th at 11am.

We are looking for hosts to sponsor a picnic table for this private event at Peggy's home in Nuuanu. Picnic tables are $1000 and seat 10 people. Halloween hats and accessories are strongly encouraged and a prize will be awarded to the table with the most Halloween spirit.

We ask each table host or hostess to bring a light lunch and beverages for their guests. There will be entertainment and of course - shopping in our Boo-tique! Fabulous artwork by Peggy and other artists, jewelry, beauty products, crafts, and more.

Table reservations are limited. Please call Kimi at 561-1864 for more information. The purpose of this event is to raise money for Peggy's medical care at a most critical time. If you are not able to attend, but would like to make a donation to "Friends of Peggy Chun", you can donate online at www.peggychun.com/donations.htm or mail to

If you are interested in helping out or interested in sponsoring a table, please let us know right away. Our tables are going fast! We already have quite a few reserved and space is limited, so please let us know. This is going to be a really fun event and really needed since we are down to next to nothing in Peggy's medical fund.

Not sure yet how much the spa party raised...we think over $600, maybe more...it all helps to get us through until this next fundraiser. Thank you again for all your support. I have put some great spa party photos online at www.pegslegs.shutterfly.com - go check them out!

OK! Sawyer has the day off today and tomorrow, so I'm getting us packed up and will be heading to Peggy's house soon. I'm going to try to do some disinfecting of her room today and if I'm feeling up to it, I may try to tackle Elroy's fridge. Ugh. Talk about Salmonella...
