COMMENTS:  I arrived at 9a to meet with Scherzinger. After Scherzinger left and Elena arrived, I got Dr. Vesper up and to the breakfast table. I left to do the grocery shopping, leaving Elena to keep an eye on Dr. Vesper. It was extremely hot and humid today and I was grateful that Elena was there to help me unload and carry everything inside. Dr. Vesper had finished breakfast, but was still sitting at the table reading when I got back from the store. I helped him get a sponge bath and get dressed before lunch. Dr. Vesper had lunch in the afternoon, did his exercise and watched TV before dinner.  We had a few swimmers after dinner. I did the dishes and set the table for morning breakfast and a.m. meds. Dr. Vesper took his p.m. meds before going to bed.

NOTE:
Scherzinger came this morning, the only bug they found was what he called drain flies, which is caused by food in drain /garbage disposal.The only thing we saw flying around looked like a miniature fly with rounded wings. He did not find any signs of moths.

5:00-7:00     When I arrived, Dr. Vesper was relaxing in his recliner while Mossy and Jessica were in the kitchen.  After Mossy left, I set the table and prepared a salad for Dr. Vesper.  Once the guests arrived I helped Dr. Vesper to the table where we enjoyed a wonderful meal and conversation.  Doctor’s blood glucose level prior to eating was 99.  I also applied the medicated topical cream to his scalp at this time.

7:00-9:00     After dinner, Dr. Vesper returned to the living room while everyone pitched in to clean up.  As things were winding down, I set out breakfast items and morning medications, ran the dishwasher, and gave Dr. Vesper his night time medications.  I assisted him into the bathroom, then to bed.  As always, he was very gracious as we said good night.  I spent a few minutes with Stephanie and Jessica before saying good bye to them.

Dinner:     Salad, cottage ham, fresh green beans, potatoes, diet cherry 7up, and ice cream (Lactaid)

Sunday, July14, 2019

4:00-7:00     When I arrived, Dr. Vesper was relaxing in his recliner watching  TV.  Mossy spent a few minutes bringing me up to speed on the day’s events.  After she left, I fed Kemper, chatted with Dr. Vesper, and emptied the dishwasher.  Stephanie and Charlotte arrived and were later accompanied by some friends for a dip in the pool.  Around this time I took Doctor’s dinner order, set the table, and began cooking.  Just before dinner was served I applied a topical cream medication to his scalp, then helped him to the table.  He enjoyed a hearty appetite and ate well.  Jessica and Tyler had a date with friends for a cook out.

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.  Sophie and a friend showed up to join in the outdoor fun.  I took Kemper out on his leash a couple of times so the kids wouldn’t have to worry about keeping him out of the pool.  At bedtime, I gave Dr. Vesper his evening medication and helped him to the bathroom to change his clothes and complete his night time routine.  Though he said he was tired, he asked that I turn on his TV once he was in bed.  I left him with his remote and said good night.  Stephanie was still there with the kids and said she would lock up.

Dinner:     Salad, Salisbury steak, macaroni and cheese, peas, garlic bread, diet cherry 7up, and ice cream (Lactaid).

Visitors:     Jessica, Tyler, Stephanie, Sophie, Charlotte, and friends.
