7:15AM - Maureen awoke. I gave her some sips of water via a pink mouth swab periodically until she arose @ 8:00AM.
Maureen began her day @ 8:00AM. She is alert and engaged this morning—bit chatty. Congestion is minimal. The diaper is medium wet. Click/tap here to view a detailed overview of the process Djon and I use to get Maureen ready for the day.
Djon administered a dose of Flonase @ 8:43AM.
Maureen's left eye continues to be red and swollen. It is 75% swollen shut. See the attached image.

Breakfast service began @ 8:45AM. Instead of oatmeal, Maureen enjoyed the second half of Chef Sandy's turkey, spinach, mushroom, onion, tomato and mozzarella cheese omelette. Posture in the geri chair is very good. We used the two green wedge pillows and the red couch pillow to set Maureen up perfectly.
