Progress notes: 
Greeted Sachin’s family at 1700. Sachin appeared to be in a cheeky mood this evening. He was ignoring me when I was saying hello. I organised Sachin’s shoes for our walk but he had already gone and sat down in his puzzle room and started to work on his puzzle. It took a lot more encouraging then usual to get Sachin for his walk. We set off with the umbrella but only lasted 11 minutes. Sachin was very vocal on our walk this evening. Completing 975 steps as Sachin was very lethargic due to not enough sleep. Once arriving home Sachin went to the toilet and produced a large urine output. I assisted him to wash his hands and brush his teeth. We received our tea and headed into the puzzle room. Lavender applied to Sachin’s upper lip area a few more times then usual due to risk level. Extra Meds given tonight at 1800,1830,1930,2100. Sachin worked through his puzzle and was very focused but was getting stuck along the way. He would not allow me to help him. Sachin’s heart rate was reaching 80 a few times tonight but came down after some time. At 1900 Sachin became very uninterested in his puzzle tonight and was swinging back and fourth on his chair. Sachin was able to talk to his brother on the phone tonight. Sachin needed a lot of reminding to drink his tea whilst we were in the puzzle room tonight. At 1930 Sachin had his medication and then we headed into the family room. Sachin enjoyed another cup of tea and a bowel of corn chips whilst watching tv with his family. Last lot of medications given at 2100. I said goodbye and I would see them on Friday. Shift ended at 2100.

Progress notes: 
Greeted Sachin’s family at 5pm. Sachin was in the dining room drinking tea when I arrived. Sachin was very vocal this afternoon. I waited until he had finished to organise for our walk. Saj tried to toilet Sachin but he did not go. I assisted Sachin in putting his ankle brace and shoes on then we set off for our walk. Sachin was very fast tonight. Steps starting at 545 and ending at 3,189. 2,644 steps complete. I tried to direct Sachin around Oxford drive which goes around Cambridge to make our walk a little longer as he had an adequate amount of sleep and lots of energy but Sachin was pushing my hand to keep going the direction we were in which was down Cambridge drive. We ended up having to cut our walk at 27 minutes which was a shame as it started to rain. We arrived home and Pravena tried to toilet Sachin again which resulted in still no output. I washed his hands and brushed his teeth. We got our cups of tea and headed into the puzzle room. During the time Sachin eagerly completed his puzzle I sorted out the next puzzle from where James left off. At 6:30pm Saj bought in Sachin’s meds and Sachin took them. At 7pm Sachin became very agitated and he took his cup out to the kitchen. He was bouncing around making a lot of noise. Saj tried to toilet him but he did not go. After 5 mins Pravena tried again to toilet Sachin and he produced a very small urine output. Sachin headed back into the puzzle room and I continued to sort the pieces. I counted 1,014 pieces. At 7:30 I turned off the music, lamp and diffuser assuming we would be heading into the lounge-room to relax with Sachin’s mum and grandmother but Sachin wouldn’t budge so we stayed in the puzzle room and Sachin continued on with the puzzle while I wrote my notes. At 7:45pm Sachin got up and decided to go out to the lounge-room. I turned off the lamp and joined him. Sachin was standing in the corner of the kitchen watching everyone being quite vocal at times. Saj started the sleep tea and Sachin was bouncing around making noises. 8pm came around and I said goodbye and that I would see the family next week. Shift ended at 8pm.
