July 16, 2018 (my birthday, too!) REASON #7 to purchase “The RecordKeeper” more than a journal. . . concentrates this week on the caregiver. The caregiver can work for a hospice, hospital, private company or even as a self-employed caregiver. This caregiver (you perhaps or someone you know?) may work at home for a loved one. As a caregiver, especially if you are a great one, observes much more than the average person. As a caregiver, he/she can journal or “record-keep” if you will, the various changes in the patients demeanor, appetite, and so forth. Not to replace any medical record documentation, but to have a separate book (The RecordKeeper?) noting smaller, perhaps what would be considered “inconsequential.” However, the patient or his/her family members or friends might like to have the journal to look back on and smile, even if it is a bittersweet smile. It could be a really cool memory book. Think of a patient receiving hospice care and they may or may not get better (some do) and to have “The RecordKeeper” with its many pages to write on, could act as a treasured keepsake. It’s certainly a thought. Best, Marie
