John had a difficult time getting to sleep last night, but once he was asleep he slept well until morning. He was wide awake and alert by 8:30am and had two servings of ice cream before the worker arrived at 9am.
He was good throughout the morning and afternoon.
It seems as if his problems begin about 3:30 - 4:00pm every day so I decided to try and get ahead of it by giving him an extra sinemet with his 2:00pm meds. and each set of meds thereafter. Whether that was the reason, or it was just a good day, he did very well until 7:00pm. Then he began to have an attack altough it never got as severe as it has been the last few days. So that was somewhat encouraginig.
He had very little liquid in his suction machine today although his mouth was obviously bothering him as he ran the machine all afternoon and by this evening he was back to stuffing kleenex into his mouth!!
Enjoyed church today although I wish I could stay longer for the coffee hour afterwards. I managed a few minutes today and had a mouthful of coffee.

Although it was far from perfect it was an improvement today so one thumbs up
