Maureen began her day @ 8:02AM. She is a bit sleepy this morning. Maya started with the application of Tolcylen to both big toenails. The diaper is light wet. We completed a clean & change using all three 3M Cavilon products where appropriate. The last part of our morning routine involved the cleansing of all areas of focus on Maureen's upper body with Aloe Vesta Cleansing Foam and warm wipes from the purple packet wiped off with a soft colored washcloth. Maya noted a slight amount of redness at the waistline just below the navel. She applied a thin layer of Nystatin ointment to the area.
Breakfast service commenced @ 8:36AM. Posture in the geri chair is decent. Maureen is tilting fairly hard to her left. We sued Magic Mike along with the two green wedge pillows to straighten her position as much as possible. First oder of business was a teaspoon of Manuka Honey followed immediately by the administration of the thyroid medication with a smattering of applesauce.
Maureen will consume six ounces of prune juice this morning. This is 2 ounces more than normal.
Daily MiraLAX dosage: None
