- In the morning, when I got there around 7:30, I would wake him up.
- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday were shower days.
- On those days, I would shower him, get him dressed, do his hair, and take care of his personal needs.
- He gets everything by a feeding tube, including his water, which is needed every hour, and his medication.
- At 9:15, I drain him, and then give him his 9:30 medications.
- Some days we go from there and do crafts, and some days we turn the music on and dance around. He loves music!
- Potty Break
- Then, shortly after that, he likes to take a nap.
- Meanwhile, I'm still giving him the water that's needed, or if he needs his feeding, he will get that.
- After his nap, we only have an hour or two before I leave, and we do a variety of things, from dancing to potty breaks, or even another craft or coloring.
