Sach was in the shower when I walked in, I greeted Praveena and assisted with cleaning while she cooked and helped Sachin get dressed. I helped him make an early chamomile tea to help him settle while he waited for dinner. We sat and ate together before Praveena helped him wash up, he immediately wanted to go sit on the couch with the rest of him tea, but I prompted him to brush his teeth beforehand. We went straight to the couch and Sach finished his tea. Praveena and I then helped Sach sit on the floor so he could have a head massage. This lasted approx. 75 mins and he was relaxed and alert (bpm 60’s). I then prompted him to toilet, he was very slow to go, and very concerned with how the toilet rolls were arranged on the window sill. He eventually went (small output). We then sat back on the couch - Sach had his tea and a snack - and watched x-files. Sach appeared a little tired but was alert and had a bpm steadily in the 60’s. I prompted him to toilet again at approximately 2030 - he went fast this time (med/large output). At 2050, he began falling asleep on the couch so we prompted him to bed a little earlier than usual. No issues overall.
