Today I arrived at Sachins house at 17:06. Sachin was in the kitchen seated at the table drinking some tea. After Sachin had finished up he helped prev put away some cutlery into the draws once Sachin had completed this we set off to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Once we had done this task we grabbed our teas made by prev and then headed our way into the puzzle room at approximately 17:30. Once we were in there I sprayed the room with lavender and applied oils to the inner walls of sachins nose. I switched on the lights and defuser and music. Sachin was doing his puzzles and not gesturing for me to help him. During this time Sachin was exploring new ways to place the pieces together during this Sachin was showing excitement by closely analysing his pieces and laughing followed by flicking it down. Sachins heart rate is sitting quite high (95-100bpm) at approximately 17:55 Sachin began to stare off into the distance becoming very disoriented I called out to Sachin to no signs of response or acknowledgment to hearing me I did this about 3 times sachins eyes began to flicker and roll to the back of his head I again called out to Sachin to no response I then lightly touched Sachin on the right forearm and said his name once more in a firmer voice Sachin came to it with a body jolt he started to respond. At approximately 18:40 Sachin was encouraged to use the toilet he had a very small urine output. At 18:44 we entered back into the puzzle room then approximately 18:50 Sachin is visibly off. Gazing into the open again he also began to rock back and forth and being once again unresponsive. After several attempts for Sachin to come back into focus he suddenly became very active but continued to rock back and forth with occasionally appearing disoriented. His heart rate is sitting at 82bpm at 19:10 Sachin has begun to appear his normal self with complete focus and completing a large portion of his puzzle he also became vocal and happy. We got stuck on a few pieces that were placed in the wrong place saj came In and adjusted this. At approximately 19:54 Sachin and I packed down the room and headed to the kitchen to clean our tea cups then came to find our place on the couch to watch his iPad. At 20:20 Sachin had a small snack some potato chips. At approximately 20:37 sachins heart rate is quite high for sitting and resting 83bpm this is unusual for Sachin as it usually sits between 60-65 bpm. At 20:44 Sachin hopped up to play with the toilet roll and then moved into the laundry to adjust Sajs clothing and observed holes in the teeshirt. 20:46 Sachin has started using a new sound the sound closely resembles the word “dog” in Hindi. He then came to sit back on the couch and was handed a tea Sachin drank this within a matter of seconds about “40 seconds “. 9pm clicked around and I said my fairwell to Sachin and the gang
