COMMENTS: I took care of Kemper & Hillary when I arrived and started chores before getting Dr. Vesper up. He ate breakfast and took his morning meds. After breakfast, I gave him a shave and a shower and helped him get dressed. He had a glucerna and a protein bar before we left for his appointment with Dr. Forman. Dr. Forman thought he looked much better than he did the last time he saw him. He made no changes in his medication and agreed with the last med change by Dr. Wilson on 7/26 to decrease Diltiazem from 180mg to 120mg.  Dr. Forman ordered an echo to be done before he sees him again in February.  After his appointment with Dr. Forman, I treated him to dinner at Carrabba’s. We had a delicious meal and a very flirty waitress that couldn’t do enough for him. I think he really enjoyed just being out of the house. Kemper was very happy to see us since his dinner was a couple of hours late. He went to the bathroom as soon as we got home and I helped him change into his pajamas. He watched TV until bedtime. I set the table for breakfast and prepared morning meds. He took his p.m. meds and I helped him get ready for bed.

August 12, 2019

4:30-7:00     When I arrived, Dr. Vesper was relaxing in his recliner having just returned from the bathroom.  I chatted with Stephanie M about the day’s events before she left.  I sat with Dr. Vesper for a few minutes and enjoyed the Smithsonian channel with him before taking his dinner order.  He had a healthy appetite and ate well.  His blood glucose level prior to eating was 155.  This required 2 units of insulin.

7:00-9:00     After dinner, 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.  At bedtime, I gave him his evening medications, then waited while he performed his night time routine.  He did not want my assistance, but was more fatigued than the previous evenings.  He did request that I turn his bedroom TV on before I left.  As always, he was very gracious as I tucked him in and said good night.

Dinner:     Salad, meatloaf, corn on the cob, wild rice, croissant, diet cherry 7up, and a very small scoop of ice cream (Lactaid).
