Maureen has been sleeping since 6:30AM. This is definitely out of the ordinary based on all of our experience during the daytime.
8:20AM - Maureen continued to sleep soundly. She snored for a brief period a few moments ago.
9:15AM - No change. Maureen continues to sleep. We opened the blinds to let in the natural light to help her wake up naturally.
9:45AM - Maureen is just now beginning to wake. We are going to deliberately get our day going.
10:20AM - We began the process of getting Maureen cleaned and changed. She had a medium size formed bowel movement. Diaper is light wet.
While we were cleaning Maureen, she coughed. It was obvious some phlegm/congestion came into her mouth. We immediately turned Maureen on her side. She was able to spit out the phlegm/congestion—a first since she came down with COVID.
We examine Maureen's entire upper body for red marks and red spots—specifically the right arm. None were visible.
Breakfast service commenced @ 10:45. Posture in the geri chair is good. Maya began by giving Maureen a teaspoon of Manuka Honey followed up immediately by the thyroid medication given with a smattering of applesauce. We skipped breakfast entirely due to the lateness of the hour. Maya gave Maureen an organic fruit smoothie.
Maureen will consume approximately 4 ounces of prune juice today.
Daily MiraLAX dosage: None
11:05AM - Maya administered the blood pressure medication
11:15AM - Morning oral care routine.
11:25AM - Eyelash cleaning and eye drops.
