NOTES:
Sachin was at the dinner table having his dinner when I arrived, Sachin appeared normal, behaviourally speaking, he did appear a bit slow to comprehend instructions but we continued on. After Dinner Sachin had a toilet break, medium urine amount produced, then I assisted him brush his teeth. Sachin and I made cups of tea and headed to the programs room for puzzle time. We skipped the walk today on account of his low hours of sleep and his rising resting bpm of the last few days.
Sachin was focusing well on his task, he did appear to be having difficulty at one point finding pieces, this turned out to be missing pieces. We eventually found a tray of missing pieces and Sachin took off putting pieces together. After the stall of missing pieces Sachin still managed to put a good amount together.
At 1930 hours we packed up and Sachin had another toilet break, large amount of urine produced this time.
Sachin sat in front of his mother in the lounge and received a head massage from his mother. At approximately 2003 hours Sachin was still having a head massage and he had a seizure, his mother cradled him and applied lavender oil to her hand for him to breath in, I uncrossed his legs out straight and maintained physical contact to ease Sachin. Approximately 40 seconds after his seizure started he relaxed and it stopped. I remained seated on the ground with Sachin until he was ready to get up, approx 20 minutes.
Sachin was assisted to his feet by myself and his father, sachin then stepped backwards and sat in his spot on the couch. I kept a vigilant supervision on Sachin for the remainder of the Shift to assure he wasn’t staring off.
 
Shift ceased at 2130 hours.
