Mr Dancy Update Thursday

Upon arrival Mr Dancy was asleep. He woke up and began his morning routine with showering etc. He went into the kitchen and ate breakfast and afterwards i offered him to play a card game and he participated for a short while and began to dose off later barb was able to get him moving to go outside for a short walk. He went for his walk and then sat outside at the patio table and dosed off and later i was able to get him to finish up with the card game and he played more. I then offered him to play catch with me using the ball and he refused and dosed back off. I tried on several occassions to get him to get up and go to the bathroom for a diaper change and he would not move. I then tried to get him to come inside to eat lunch and he would not move and we had lunch outside at the table. After a couple of hours had passed i asked him again to go to the restroom and he got up right away and it was because he had to go to the bathroom he started groaning as he was walking and afterwards we went into his room and he began to talk a lot about different things and is now resting. He had a pretty good day.

Mr Dancy Update Wednesday

Upon arrival this morning Mr Dancy was asleep. He did not want to get up this morning i had to wait for a little while and he finally got up. He began his day with his daily morning routine of care. He then had breakfast and afterwards he went outside for his morning walk he moved around better today and was able to complete his regular walk without struggle. He then came back inside and begin looking through a magazine. He dosed off and napped a little and later on i offered him a card game and he played just a little and dosed off again. Later he ate lunch and afterwards he began dosing again. I asked him to go for a walk and got up right away. He would not get up to go to the bathroom for a diaper change around noon so i had to wait until he walked the second time and then was able to get him into the bathroom. After the bathroom he went into his room and I showed him the picture of him that was sent by Cathy and he immediately was able to identify himself not sure of where the picture was taken but he know he was on the picture. He talked a little bit more today. I would say that he had a wonderful day.

Dad Relaxing on his Ship

Here are some pictures of Dad, working as well as relaxing on the Ship while he was in the navy, taken probably in the early 50s.

It sounds like he is resting a lot at Barb's home.

I hope he is doing well!

Mr Dancy Update Tuesday

Upon arrival Mr Dancy was asleep. After waking up he showered etc. He then went to the kitchen to have breakfast and afterwards he appeared to be really tired today and sleepy. He did not want to participate in any activities today at all nor did he want to go walking. He sat at the table and dosed off and on throughtout the entire day and would not move from the table sitting from 9:30am to 3:00pm again. He ate lunch and continued to sit and finally i was able to get him to go with me to the restroom at 3:00pm and asked him to walk with me outside for a little and he did but seemed to have a hard time walking so we returned inside and he is resting in the chair. I think maybe sometimes he gets his sleeping off by sleeping in the day and maybe not to much at night. Other than that the day went ok.
