He is awakened early and fed his 'breakfast' through his stomach tube, then bathed, shaved and changed. The staff also attaches an amplifier with earphones. He is often in bed much of the morning, then watches his movies in the afternoon. He alternates between being in bed - and being turned regularly - with sitting in his wheelchair, to avoid bedsores. The staff also take him to his doctor appointments.
He got a new wheelchair in 2024, so it's easier for the staff to take him to appointments and to take him on walks through the community.
He usually watches a movie or TV in the evening and has his 'dinner.' He goes to bed early and generally sleeps soundly through the night.
In normal times, we visit him once or twice a week, usually on Saturday or Sunday. In addition his old roommate Alex Crespo and her son Elifel often visit on the weekends, as does our friend and Chris's godmother, Patricia Bryant.
