6:30AM - Maureen is awake. Maya will give her sips of water via a mouth swab periodically between now and the time we start our day.
7:00AM - Maya checked the diaper. It remains dry.
Maureen began her day @ 8:00AM. She is in good form— chatty. Her energy and engagement are about normal. Maya began by applying Tolcylen to both big toenails. Diaper is light wet. We performed a clean & change using all three 3M Cavilon products where appropriate. Wednesday is bed bath day. Maya cleaned Maureen using Aloe Vesta Cleansing Foam. We did not see rash/redness anywhere on her body.
Breakfast service commenced @ 8:52AM. Posture in the geri chair is good. Maureen is tilting a bit to the left. Maureen has less energy than normal. She is somewhat lethargic. Her eyes are slightly closed. Maya began with a teaspoon of Manuka Honey followed right away by the thyroid medication with just a skosh of applesauce.
Maureen will consume approximately 4 ounces of prune juice this morning.
Daily MiraLAX dosage: None
General observations @ 9:12AM> Maureen has less energy this morning than yesterday. She is more congested. Chewing and swallowing are a bit more deliberate. While eating, she is closing her eyes from time to time. Low moan/groan has been occurring somewhat sporadically since Maureen started her day @ 8:00AM.
9:58AM - Morning dental care routine
10:11AM - Facial treatment including hands and arms
10:17AM - We tilted the geri chair back one level for Maureen's comfort and to relieve pressure on her sacrum.
10:33AM - Organic fruit smoothie
10:53AM - We headed to the bedroom to prepare for Rest Break #1. Diaper was medium wet. Upon completion of the clean & change process, Maya and I placed Maureen on her right side.
11:12AM - Rest Break #1 begins.
12:30PM - Rest Break #1 ends. We extended this one 20 minutes longer because Maureen will not another one today due to her nurse's visit. Diaper was light wet. We performed a clean & change and positioned Maureen for her hair to be shampooed. When finished, we headed to the kitchen where Maya styled Maureen's hair to perfection.
1:10PM - Lunch | Maya prepared 1/2 a tuna salad sandwich on toasted whole wheat, a small serving of organic vegetable soup, a serving of garlic green beans and a small serving of shredded beets. Maureen will drink one 12-ounce bottle of Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water. She had one cookie and a small glass of milk for dessert.
General observation @ 1:18PM> Maureen nodded off in the geri chair while eating lunch. This is rather surprising since she just got her hair shampooed and styled after an 80 minute rest break. Currently, she is lethargic. Her eyes are now only partially open.
2:07PM - Afternoon oral care
3:00PM - We headed to the bedroom for a clean and change. The diaper was medium wet. As were finishing up, Maureen urinated on the pad. The urine went through the pad to the freshly laundered sheets. We repeated the clean & change process and took Maureen to the front room where the crew of TPIR and a bowl of fresh fruit were waiting.
3:30PM - Fruit snack
