5:00-7:00     Dr. Vesper was sleeping soundly in his recliner when I arrived.  As always, Stephanie filled me in on the day’s events before she left.  He woke shortly after and we spent a few minutes chatting.  He said he was hungry, so I took his dinner order and began cooking.  His sister, Mary called and they enjoyed a nice conversation just before dinner was served.  Dr. Vesper ate well and his blood glucose level prior to eating was 135.  He did have some difficulty ambulating to the dining room table and back.  He took his evening medications at the end of his meal.

7:00-9:00     The remainder of my shift ran in quiet, routine fashion.  Dr. Vesper returned to the living room while I cleaned the kitchen, washed the dishes, set out breakfast items and morning medications, and took out the trash.  We watched some beautiful film footage on National Geographic until it was time for bed.  He seemed stronger and more steady on his feet as I assisted him in the bathroom with his night time routine and then to bed.  I tucked him in and said good night.

5:00-7:00     When I arrived, Dr. Vesper was napping in his recliner.  Stephanie filled me in on the day’s events before she left.  I woke Dr. Vesper to get his dinner order and chatted with him briefly before he fell back to sleep.  He requested a simple meal, so I took a few minutes to empty the dryer and finish making the bed.  I returned to the kitchen to make supper and Doctor continued to nap until it was time to eat.  He enjoyed a hearty appetite, but remained quiet throughout the meal.  He took his evening medications after eating.

7:00-9:00     After dinner, Dr. Vesper returned to the living room while I cleaned the kitchen, washed the dishes, and set out breakfast items and morning medications.  I joined him in the living room for a few minutes of “Animal Planet” until it was time for bed.  I assisted him in the bathroom with his night time routine and he was visibly fatigued as I helped him into bed.  I tucked him in and said good night.

5:00-7:00     When I arrived, Dr. Vesper was in the living room watching TV.  He, Michele, and Kemper all greeted me.  We discussed the events of the day before Michele left.  Dr. Vesper stated he was getting hungry, so I took his dinner order and began cooking.  When dinner was served he enjoyed a healthy appetite and was very interactive.  His blood glucose level prior to eating was 94.  He took his evening medication when he was finished.

7:00-9:00     After dinner, Dr. Vesper returned to the living room while I cleaned the kitchen and microwave, washed the dishes, and set out breakfast items and morning medications.  Stephanie arrived for a visit and kept her father company as I completed those few chores.  After she left, Dr. Vesper alternated between watching TV and reading his WS Journal till it was time for bed.  I assisted him to the bathroom, then then to bed where I tucked him in and said good night.
