COMMENTS:
Rose was quiet today, but alert, she ate well and was awake all day.  Dr. Vesper went back to bed after breakfast, but got up in time for church. He didn’t go to the gym today, wanted to see Jessica, Danny and Tyler off.  While I was on the phone with Humana, Dr. Vesper took a long nap, he was supposed to be watching Rose, but when I heard the bedroom door close, I brought Rose into the office where I was working. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone requesting tier exemptions for several medications for the calendar year 2017. I made calls to the offices of Dr. Wilson and Dr. Forman regarding tier exemptions. Also, called Mills Fence to schedule service on the gate, they will be here @ 9:15a tomorrow morning.

COMMENTS:
Rose  was very relaxed today, crossed her legs several times and had a nice afternoon nap. Her face became flush and slightly  warm to the touch just before dinner,  she had no other symptoms and appeared to be comfortable. Dr. Vesper & Danny watched football games most of the afternoon and evening, just a relaxing day.  Dr. Vesper left for church at 4:30 and when he returned he announced that he would be going to 11:30a mass on Sunday until spring, due to driving home in the dark on Saturday evenings and the increased risk of hitting a deer. NOTE TO SUNDAY CAREGIVERS: Dr. Vesper should be up between 10:40-10:45 and out the door no later than 11:00a

Rose was exceptionally quite today, she dozed off & on throughout the afternoon. Her dinner plate got a little full, as we took a spoonful of everything that was passed, but she cleaned her plate and had a piece of pie. Dr Vesper went back to bed after breakfast, but was up, showered and dressed by noon. All of the family (except Kylie) was able to make it home to enjoy the holiday together.

COMMENTS:
Rose had an average morning and a late day shower. She was very cooperative during her shower, but later became very rigid during dressing. She had a nice warm cuddly nap later. she was very quiet after her nap, but did become more responses with Jennifer later and even more chatty while we were in the bathroom getting ready for bed. She asked me if I could come back, I said sure, when would you like me to come, tomorrow? She said, yes, please. Dr. Vesper did his usual thing, breakfast, nap, church in the gym. Stephanie picked Jennifer and the boys at the airport, they picked up pizza and arrived around 6 PM, just in time for dinner. It was so nice to see (almost) everyone home for the holiday.
