Gilly deserves the best of care

A quick note to report that nothing much has changed. Gilly eats a little less everyday, it seems, mainly because he is sleeping more; as soon as he awakens, we run to get the food, and during this time frame he often falls back to sleep.

Elise is dependable, but clearly not anywhere nearly as good as Raquel was. I have to leave her during the day for a few hours, and I am not worried about Gilly’s safety, but she needs reminding for several mundane tasks, and so on, so when I’m away, they do not get done. She’s quick to do whatever it is she has forgotten once reminded, but I wish I didn’t have to go that extra step. Too much brain work. We wrote out a list of everyday ‘duties’ related to Gilly’s care. She does absolutely nothing else, so it should be easy to manage, but she doesn’t. Nothing serious, really, but I do like him to be as clean and comfortable as humanly possible; perhaps my standards are too high!

My weekdays are very full at this point, so I will not have much time to write at night. Short updates will have to suffice.
