Maureen has been awake since 6:30AM.
6:45AM - Maya checked the diaper. It is dry.
Per Tom's suggestion, we will administer a dose of Robitussin cough syrup this morning.
Maureen began her day @ 8:05AM. She is rather chatty this morning and in good form. Maureen looked rather parched. We tilted the bed to 90 degrees to give her some sips of water. She loved it. We began with a clean & change—using all three 3M Cavilon products where appropriate. Wednesday is bad bath day. All of the upper body areas of focus look great. None require the application of Nystatin Ointment.
Breakfast service commenced @ 8:55AM. Posture in the geri chair is very good. Maya began with a teaspoon of Manuka honey followed immediately by the administration of the thyroid medication. Maureen coughed just twice during breakfast.
Maureen will consume approximately 6 ounces of prune juice today.
