NOTES:
Sachin was at the dinner table having his dinner when I arrived, Sachin gave me a fist bump and went back to eating, and drinking his pot of tea. Sachin was very shaky in his arm movements, you could be mistaken for thinking he was shivering, he was unstable on his feet. Sachin skipped his toilet break, didn’t need to go, and I then assisted him brush his teeth. Sachin assisted me make cups of tea, he was skipping steps and getting confused, it appears yesterday’s Seizure is taking its toll on his cognitive ability and motor movements.
Sachin found pieces very fast and he was correct every time, he struggled with fine precise hand movements to slide them in, he appeared to be getting frustrated so I assisted him tonight with putting them in to relieve his stress. 1938 hours we packed up and exited the program room, Sachin had a toilet break with a large urine amount produced then took his seat next to his mother. At 2000 hours Sachin had his sleep tea and small bowl of doritos snack. Jack Ryan was on TV and Sachin wasn’t interested in watching it so he used his ipad and scrolled YouTube Warner brose cartoons, he appeared content to do this, his bpm was low 70’s.
At 2045 hours Sachin put his ipad down and started watching TV, 2110 hours he became fixated on finding lint on his electric blanket, picking pieces, this pushed his bpm to mid 90’s, 2130 hours he dropped this fixation and his bpm to mid 80’s.
Shift ceased at 2130 hours.
