Seizure risk level:- Risk level- min.
Previous night Sleep:- 9:41 hours split sleep.
Resting heart rate:- 65 resting bpm.
 
ACTIVITIES.
Jigsaw.
 Walk.
 
WEATHER:
12 degrees, overcast day.
 
Mood/Behaviour:
Sachin was a bit on the vocal side tonight, he made a lot of “eeaww” noises. He wasn’t loud and what he uttered was kind of under his breath. Sachin appeared to stall at times, he’d be walking or doing some task and then would freeze for a few seconds. Sachin responded well to verbal and physical stimulus to snap him out of these moments.
 
NOTES:
Sachin And I started off our night with a walk in the neighbourhood where he lives, Sachin appeared eager tonight. At times he was walking faster encouraging me to keep up.
We returned home and Sachin was assisted with removing his walking shoes and brace then into slippers. Sachin was encouraged to use the toilet (he produced a large urine) and assisted brushing his teeth. We then made cups of tea, Sachin was pre-empting my requirements for tea ingredients tonight, there was little I had to ask for because he had it all ready.
We then went to the programs room and had some fun with the jigsaw for a while. Sachin lately has been wanting help, accepting my involvement and waiting patiently for me to help put the piece he finds into the spot. A big change from not wanting me to help at all. Sachin had his medication at 630, dispensed by his father. At 730 we packed up the programs room and settled down in the lounge for a bit of TV time.
 
Shift finished at 2000 hours.
