Hello all again! Thank you for your welcome a few weeks ago when I posted my first message! Now I am writing for some more advice. The man I care for is now on a ventilator, but comes off of it for very short periods of times to go to his computer, bathroom etc. Every 2-3 days I shower him while he sits on a chair in the bathtub. And every single time I worry about him as I can see how incredibly stressful it is for him to sit there trying to breathe. There is no fan in the bathroom so it gets very hot and humid quickly, even though I keep the water temperature cool for him. I always do a quick job washing his hair and body as I worry about him. Does anyone have any other suggestions to bathing? He really isn't ready emotionally for bed baths.
Thank you!
Jill
