George was asleep on the couch when I came over today. We went and combed his hair, shaved and brushed his teeth. He was kind of tired today and really quiet. I made him some lunch and he liked it! He said it tasted homemade :) (I had him make his own coffee today) in the other picture he is excercising. We went for a drive afterwards up to Snowbird to watch the skiers. It was a really nice day, George kept falling asleep so we came back home. It took awhile to get going today.
There are about 3 other pictures on photobucket of today.

Today when I came over George was asleep on his bed. (He was dressed and had his coat on, and later he said he had it on because it was cold). He woke up and got his shoes on; he combed his hair and shaved. He went into the kitchen to have a cup of coffee and said he didn’t feel like going anywhere today, he said he felt tired. I made him some lunch at home, and then he went to the couch to rest. I cleaned while he was sleeping.

George was awake and reading the paper when I came over today! He went to dinner last night for his Birthday with Dennis, the boys, Tracy, Ed and their kids. Today I wanted to take him to lunch for his Birthday, by the time he was ready to go it was about 2:30. The place I took him to closed at 3:00. We ordered take out (The waitress there gave George some ice cream with an umbrella). Dennis bought a pie last night and today we (Dennis, myself, and Ryan) sang Happy Birthday to him and had some pie. I didn’t get his weight or BP today.

(Friday) George wanted to go out today! While he was eating, I asked him if he wanted to go for a drive when he was done, he nodded his head yes. On our way to the mountains (That’s where he wanted to go) he said he wanted to get his haircut, we did that then went for a drive. He’s getting better! Yay!

George has been more awake today (Wednesday) than he has been for quite awhile. (Course he didn’t get up till around 3:00) It could be that he’s just having a good day. I know he was tired again yesterday. After he got dressed and ready, we went to the kitchen to get him something to eat. He even helped me finish the Valentine house. He was awake for quite awhile today. I was able to get his weight and he was 91 lbs. only a pound loss from last week, pretty good considering he hasn’t been eating much lately. The nurse came today from Care Source to evaluate him. Dennis set up the camera to help keep a better eye on him too.

I didn't come over last week because George has had a UTI. I did go over to visit, but he was super tired. He has been sleeping most of the day and been really weak. I came over on Monday and helped to get him dressed, shaved and then got him something to eat. During lunch I had him put some tiles on the Valentine house to keep him awake and involved in something. He fell asleep and I could not wake him up, I tried everything. Dennis called the Dr's and someone will be coming out to evaluate him.
His BP was 96/58 (I don't remember exactly, but it was within that range). He was sleeping when I took it. I couldn't get a weight that day.

Today George was still weak and really tired. Dennis had to help me get him up today, George kept telling me “Ok dear, thank you, thank you” and “Ok, ok” when I would go in and ask him to wake up. Dennis and I got him up, changed the bed and George took a shower and got dressed. It took him quite awhile though, he kept falling asleep. He finally made it to the kitchen, I gave him something to eat, and he didn’t want to leave the table and kept falling asleep. He kept telling me “Why do you want me to wake up?” and “What do you want from me?” He wasn’t in a good mood and just super tired, he has been using the walker in the house when he does get up though. I was over last night and he fell in his bathroom, he’s not able to get up like he used to, I had to help him up. He needs someone there all the time now in case he falls. Dennis made an appointment for him to go to the Dr's tomorrow. He’s so hard to read, sometimes he bounces right back, but he has been really tired.
His weight was 91 lbs. (I think the scale is a little off though). His BP was 135/83

I wasn’t sure what to write for today, George was really quite, tired and weak today. I couldn’t get him to do anything! Not even a drive or even to just look at pictures. Nothing. I finally had to leave after about 2 ½ hours because he just did not want to do anything, He kept telling me NO when I would ask him anything. He just wanted to sleep.

Today when I came over George was partially dressed but had a hard time getting up today. He was really tired; I made him some coffee and cleaned up while he was getting ready for the day. I made him some lunch at home and tried to get him to do something. Trevor came home with a friend and George said “Are you enjoying my car?” I was finally able to get him out and at least go and cash his check. He was asleep by the time I left. He needed a lot of coaxing today.

I had to work at the hospital today, I was going to make George some eggs, (He woke up late) Dennis saw that I was making them and came and finished them. I guess I’m not a good cook. He even made some coffee. George and I talked and visited then went for a walk before I had to go to work. On our walk when we were passing his neighbor's house he said "She's a tall girl, she walks all over, I wish I could walk like her."
