COMMENTS:
Rose had a short nap after breakfast while I cleaned up the kitchen and prepare for her shower. She was very cooperative during her shower and dressing, but was happy when it was over. She took another nap just before before dinner. Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast, I got him up at 11:15 for church & the gym. He got home around 2:30 and after going through the mail and reading the WSJ, he watched the recorded version of the XU game. I stayed to help prepare dinner because Rhonda is allergic to fish.

Rose was her usual sweet self today, she ate well and had a nice nap in the afternoon.  However, her mood changed at bedtime, she was very rigid and not at all in the mood to change into PJs.  Dr. Vesper had his usual non-church/gym day, went back to bed after breakfast, got up 2nd time around 2p.  He spent the rest of the day going through the mail, reading and watching TV.  After dinner we started watching basketball while I cleaned up and prepare for bedtime routine.

COMMENTS:
Rose was very quiet today, only verbal at bedtime. Bathing and dressing was extremely easy for some reason. Rose ate well and was relaxed and comfortable. Dr. Vesper ate breakfast and was back in bed before I arrived.  He got up the second time a little before 2p.

PHONE CALLS:
Dave – Repair fence damage from 3/1 storm / can’t come until Saturday

NOTE:
Kemper had diarrhea last night after I left (according to Dr. Vesper) 2 very large areas in the kitchen. Unfortunately, he had attempted to clean it up. The odor was so bad when I arrived, I had to mop & sanitize the floor, spray with Clorox deodorizer and open the windows. After all that, the odor was still very strong, I soon discovered why when I open the kitchen cabinet to the trash can. I emptied the trash and got it out of the house, it took forever to get the older neutralized. Kemper was very lethargic the rest of the day and had to go out several times.

COMMENTS:
Rose was a relaxed sleepyhead today, it rained most of the day, so good day for sleeping.  Dr. Vesper was also a sleepyhead, got up the first time at 10:30, no snuggling time for him today.  He did work out after church and was home by 2:30.  He didn’t go to bed, but did fall asleep a few times in front of the TV.  I warmed up leftovers from yesterday, fillet 2 days in a row, he was a happy camper.  They watched TV while I did the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen and started night time routine.

NOTE:
Kemper finally discovered the broken fence from downed trees during the last storm, he got out once on Saturday, neighbor Gary Skeen brought him home. He got out again today, Gary’s grandson brought him home. Now that Kemper has found a house with a 10-year-old it will be difficult to keep him home. I’ll call Dave tomorrow to get the fence repaired.

COMMENTS:
I came in a little early in order to get everything completed before everyone arrived at 1P.   Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast, I let Rose sleep while I did a quick touchup of the house.  She had breakfast and then a quick shower,we made it just under the wire.  The food all turned out delicious and everyone enjoyed a nice afternoon. Unfortunately, Mary got up sick this morning and wasn’t able to make it.  Rose was alert, but quiet.  Everyone said hello and goodbye to Rose, but she was completely unresponsive. It was convenient having dinner early, the ladies helped with cleanup and everyone left around 5:30

COMMENTS:
Rose had a lazy day, napped off and on most of the day, but woke up and was very alert in time for dinner. Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast, but was back up by noon. He spent the afternoon going through the mail, reading and watching TV. He decided to go to mass tonight rather than Sunday morning because of his Re-birthday party tomorrow.  We had a nice traditional Irish dinner ( a day after St. Patrick’s Day) when we got home from church. They watch TV while I cleaned up the kitchen and prepped for bedtime routine.
