Day began @ 8:05AM. Maureen is in good form. Her diaper was wet. Based on Maya's checks, we estimate that Maureen urinated b/w 7:30-8:00AM. Maya cleaned Maureen throughly and put a fresh pull up on her. We used the Hoyer Lift to transfer Maureen to the day chair.
Breakfast began at 8:25AM. Maureen's posture in the day chair is upright—w/o assistance. Her overall energy, responsiveness and engagement is decent to good.
Maureen will drink 1/2 cup of prune juice this morning.
