Happy Sachin!

support worker Kariba.
Arrived at approx 17:00pm, clocked in, walked thru the side gate and was met with Saj. Had a quick catch up conversation then walked inside and was met with Praveena and Sachin. Sach had finished his dinner and was standing in the kitchen, I put my hand out for a fist pump, he gave me pump them chuckled. I then prompted Sachin to sit on the couch so I could put on his shoes and brace for our walk. It took him a few moments to sit on the couch, he was distracted with his tea pot and I think he really liked his dinner (wanting more). I prompted again and he happily sat on the couch, I fully assisted putting on his walking shoes and ankle crave on his left ankle. Left for our way, Sachin led the pace tonight, we walked really quickly, he seemed to really enjoy being out this afternoon. Nice warmish weather. He giggled and chucked the whole way, really alert and happy. Did a very quick walk (due to the fast pace we were waking). Arrived back home, prompted Sachin to sit back down on the couch so I could take off his shoes. Changed him into his slippers and out of his walking shoes off, ankle brace and shoes back in spare room. Then I prompted Sachin to come and brush his teeth, he was slightly hesitant then with mums encouragement he quickly followed me. He went straight to the toilet but no urine output (he had gone earlier during shower time). Next I fully assisted brushing Sachins teeth, rinsed with water then got our teas and into programs room. I prompted Sachin to turn on his lamp which he did, I turned on defuser (checked water level), stereo and started my notes. Sachin was really giggly and making lots of joyful noises tonight, very alert and happy. He got right into his puzzle (I took a before and after picture of his progression this evening). He required me assistance with his puzzle. He competed x4 pieces in a row, then removed them and waited for me to put them in for him. He made happy noise once I did so. I thought I found a piece (it wasn’t the right piece) and he laughed at me because it was wrong lol. I applied lavender oil to the inside of his nostrils x3 times and disposed of q tip appropriately. Saj administered Sachins 18:00pm medication and helped us find a piece we were stuck on. Sachin and I completed a big section on his puzzle (not going horizontally at the moment, in clusters of colours/adding to the building on the jigsaw puzzle). He continued to allow me to put pieces in place for him, however if not done correcting (making the clicking sound, I have to try until it’s just right for him! A sign he trusts me. He was in a really good mood this evening, happy to see me I think and the feeling was mutual. I encouraged Sachin to drink his tea which he did so happily. Saj took him too the toilet at approx 18:45pm and he produced medium urine output. At approx 19:30pm I encouraged Sachin and I to pack up in programs room, he turned off his lamp and I turned off defuser, stereo and light. He was really into his puzzle at the stage, Saj prompted him to finish his tea and finish in programs room. We exited program room and Sachin organised his teapot for tomorrow, cleaning the outside of pot very carefully with a tea towel. Then he snuggled up on the couch with his blanket and his iPad, with Praveena and watched some tv. I sat and ate a delicious meal and then spoke with Praveena. It started to rain heavily with occasional thunder. Sachin peeped out the window to see after the thunder, he sat contently and happily with the both of us in lounge room. Praveena make Sachin a cup of tea and got him a little snack. At approx 21:00pm I said goodbye and left.
