Information for upcoming visitors

This is a small note since the summer is here. There are many people that are planning their summer trips and want to come and visit with Bob. Rob and I are delighted that he is going to have so many visitors this summer. Please remember that I work three days a week and our daughter stays with her Grandfather those days. We ask that there be no visitors those three days of the week. Bob calls me the warden because he says I make the rules for him, but honestly, this request, is more for the safety of our daughter than it is a rule for Bob.

Also, Bob has a very hard time with days and the sense of time. So if you tell him you are planning on paying a visit, like a small child he can’t remember when that date is and worries that it is very near, when it is weeks away. He remembers you are coming and he is excited about your visit, but he can’t comprehend when your visit may be. On a good day, he has no problems with dates, on a bad day, it is every twenty minutes he is asking when an appointment is coming up.

Bob has a one week calendar in his room that we write on when something important is coming up. That way we can mark the days off so he can see when the event is near. Please let Rob and I know when you get your vacation plans finalized and we will mark them on our calendar and then the week before your visit we will mark it on Bob’s calendar. That way he will not be confused to when and who is coming to visit.

We look forward to seeing so many of you this summer, and hope you all have a safe trip down.
