JENNIFER 11/30-12/2

BILL-

coumadin 1.8 on 5mg coumadin continued.
Has had chronic diarrhea, gave him Imodium third dose in 48 hours, very hydrated, he is 239.8 at 4pm scale is finicky has to be on a level surface or it will not work. I posted a note on his side of the sink with his wt and the date. He is being compliant, yet still requests cereal after dinner in just low of a volume so Jean wont break into a tirade on him. I just give him half a cup of cereal and no mocha mix is making a big difference. He had a massage by Charlea, and a really good scrub down shower. He watched the USC UCLA game when Jean was gone and really enjoyed it.

JEAN-
Did really well this weekend, she went to her hair appt. and had two showers, last one on Saturday. She had a massage by Charlae, and stayed up till 930 with Melissa and I decorating the house, we made a fire, and put on the Xmas carols for her and let her direct us. She had a lot of fun at the Rockettes, she was picked up at 1230 despite the fact that I wasn't informed by Cookie that she would be picked up at 1230 and not 2 as she originally said. Jean broke out her complete winter gear, fur vest and all! She sat and went over about 25 catalogs this weekend x ing out everything.

XMAS DECORATING

I decorated the whole outside of the house and the back balcony, with the various lights and ornaments that Jean had purchased. Jay really has not much to do, if anything and I know he was really rude to the other caregivers about the need for Cookie etc, and I honestly don't know what his validation is, as Melissa and I saw all xmas decor put away and labeled by Ruth in the garage. The only mess I saw was the jumbled mess of old and new decor Jay left sitting outside haphazardly. I will refer him to Joan if he has any issue with the decorating, bottom line is Jean had a ball and she was very, very satisfied with it.

Chores-

House all clean, both Jean and Bill showered, ALL laundry done, dried and put away. Changed Jeans sheets from her accident, replaced them on bed. All garbage's emptied and refilled with several bags. Dishwasher unloaded, cleaned up kitchen. Put away all Xmas decor in bins, need to sweep up stray needles, but I'm hesitant as they need to move trees yet. Refilled all toilet paper, tissues (we are out of), and refilled Jeans panties.


Xmas- Jean wants to order the following things, I may do it Sunday before I go, but I need to get a hold of Ruth/Wedad as they know the amex billing address.

Dudley/sharon/mia/Ryan, lola- gourmet popcorn tin, large

Neiman Marcus- Majorca pearls multicolored with beige pear earring 295.00 +75.00 for Jean from Bill for additional gift she picked out.

As for the steam cleaner, I wasn't implying that the carpets weren't sufficiently cleaned from the past stains (people, animal, other) I just thought having one on hand is better, as sometimes cleaned stains re surface over time, despite the best efforts to clean them. And since we have 4 people basically living down in the one room, it would be hygienic to clean it every now and again. Not to mention the stains accumulated around Jeans bed, path to her bathroom and Bills chair.

Will take Bill to Dr. F next Friday, hope everyone has a great week!
Ps can someone volunteer to itemize Jeans xmas gifts, and who exactly they all go to, so that I can wrap/bag them this weekend, also a little description of what it is would help, so we dont have to do the corner tear off. I highly suggest doing this with Jean so she rembers, as in the past what happens she buys 5 of something, and Cis pops over and she wants to reciprocate with a gift, and Jean forgets that she only has 4 left of whatever it is and swore she bought 10. Forgetting she gave one to Cis, (just an example)
