COMMENTS: I stopped at Kroger‘s on my way in this morning. Teasdale Fenton arrived just ahead of me and started in the bedroom where Jessica is sleeping. After getting food and supplies stored away, I got Dr. Vesper up and into the bathroom. They cleaned the family room area rug while I cleared the way for Dr. Vesper‘s bedroom to be shampooed. I laid down beach towels for Dr. Vesper to walk on in order to use his chair. After Teasdale Fenton left, Dr. Vesper did his daily exercise, napped and watch TV.

COMMENTS: After taking care of Kemper and Hillary, I got Dr. Vesper, he had his morning meds with breakfast.  In the afternoon, he did exercise and relaxed while he waited for Jessica & Tyler to arrive. Internet and TV went out sometime yesterday evening and was still out today. I spent a lot of time today trying to get everything reset, with no success until after Jessica & Tyler arrived late afternoon. Stephanie and her family arrived around 7p with pizza for dinner.

COMMENTS:  Dr. Vesper was awake and ready to get up at 10:30 this morning. He ate breakfast and took a.m. meds. After breakfast I gave Dr. Vesper a complete sponge bath and helped him get dressed, he usually gets a shower on Friday, but this week we will be working around the holidays.  In the afternoon, he had lunch, watched TV, did exercise and napped while I did chores and laundry. After dinner, he watched TV until bedtime. I set the table for breakfast and morning meds. He took his p.m. meds and got ready for bed.

NOTE: It was good to see Kemper back to normal today. He ate all of his food yesterday, but it took a full day of nibbling. Today, he was waiting at the door for me and emptied his bowl in one setting. He started begging for dinner about an hour early and I gave in, I’m sure his belly was pretty empty after 3 days of 1 cup, or less.

COMMENTS:  Elena took care of Kemper and Hillary this morning, he had only eaten a small portion of his food when I arrived at 10:30, but he did eventually finish the full 2 cups. I got Dr. Vesper up, he had morning meds with breakfast. He had a sponge bath and dressed after breakfast. In the afternoon, Dr. Vesper relaxed, did exercised, watched TV and napped while I finished a few extra chores. Elena was here a little extra time today cleaning the other side of the house. When she finished cleaning, we exchange gifts with her before she left. Dr. Vesper watched TV after dinner, while I did the dishes and set the table for morning breakfast and a.m. meds. Dr. Vesper took his p.m. meds and prepared for bed.

NOTE: We had a medium-size tree down across the drive on the lane going through the gate to the school. I called Jeannie’s husband, Tim, he cut the tree in half and pushed it over the hill. He had already planned on coming down today to finish getting the snow plow and salt spreader working properly. Tim also did me a big favor and loaded Dr. Vespers old me lift chair into the handicap van and took it to the basement. I needed to get it out of the middle of the floor, so I put it in the basement until after Christmas, when I will have time to find a good home for it.
