Today is Saturday, I was tired last night so I neglected to write. Yesterday was an interesting day. When I got in to see Harlan and as I always do I headed right to his room but he wasn't there my next stop was the bathroom and he wasn't there. So I headed down the hall way toward the nurses station and I spotted him asleep in a recliner by the fire place and he was so hard at sleep I didn't wake him but I noticed that his glasses were missing and headed back to his room. Sure enough his glasses were right were he left them, on the floor between his bed and the wall, I rescued them, cleaned them and returned them to his face all with out waking him.
My next stop was to see if I could locate some of his lost clothing, I checked with Gene, he made a phone call to the laundry facility and I headed down there and found several lost items, shirt, sweater and jeans. I'm so thankful for the walk way at the VA as my walk took nearly as far as the auditorium, all under cover. When I returned Harlan was still sleeping, I got him up and we went to his room for another nap.
One of his meds have been taken away from him and we hope that will eliminate he drive to get up and walk all night and he will get some needed rest at night, only time will tell if this helps.
I now stay with him until supper and take him down to eat I hope that helps stabilize his weight he is so thin.
Yesterday was a good day....Fran
