NOTES:
Sachin was inside the house drinking his pot of tea in the lounge when I arrived. Sachin had minimal sleep and a high resting bpm, his current bpm was concerning high as well. Sachins current bpm consistently sat in triple digits ( not above 110 ) until 1930 hours. At 1930 hours it was couch time with his mother and he generally relaxes and settles down. Sachin skipped his toilet break after dinner, I assisted Sachin brush his teeth. We make cups of tea together and done some of his jigsaw puzzle, Sachin wasn’t into it tonight, he did put a few pieces together but I could tell he wasn’t into it by lack of attention to his details.
1930 hours we packed up and washed our cups, Sachin was encouraged to use the toilet but he didn’t go, he did however, go at 2000 hours. Sachin and I sat in the lounge with his mother watching X files, and sure enough, his bpm did come down and settled roughly around 85bpm.
Sachin was constantly monitored all night, nil incidents to report.
 
Shift ceased at 2130 hours.
