Thursday June 21

Last night was Gwen's 2nd night. Helen is having a hard time accepting a new person, per usual.

Gwen seems very capable, is very likable and wants to do good job. She will need some guidance in how to adapt to Helen's ways and desires - e.g., wants to sit alone, does not want to chit-chat, does not want someone in her bedroom at night watching over her.

Gwen is willing to take on more hours - e.g., 5pm to 8am M-F. I told her that it's possible that it could evovle to that, but for now, we'll stick with the Tues-Wed gigs for her, and adjust as needed as time passes.

Note on meals: Helen's appetite is best in the morning, tapers off as day goes on. A light dinner is all she wants. Pam offered soup the other evening and this worked out very well. Soup as a standard for dinner for now. I got some low(?)-sodium Progresso minestrone, this she likes. I'll try the chicken noodle next.

Another NOTE: need to get a tv into the bedroom for the overnights ... cable hook-up
