COMMENTS: When I arrived, I found Dr. Vesper curled up in a fetal position without depends or pajamas, he was trying to stay warm underneath a 2 x 3 pad, which is normally underneath him. Yes, it was wet and so was all of his cover, which he had pushed off the bottom of the bed. I got him to the bathroom for a thorough sponge bath, fresh depends and pajamas. He had morning meds with breakfast and did his reading. He watched TV and ate lunch before Jessica (filled in for Alex) arrived for PT. Dr. Vesper took a short nap after therapy, while I made dinner.
