  • Daily MiraLAX dosage: None.

  • General observations @ 10:51AM> The morning has gone pretty well. Maureen's overall energy was good. She was alert and somewhat communicative throughout the morning. There were just a few brief periods where she nodded off. Chewing and swallowing went smoother. Maureen coughed three times during breakfast and three during lunch. All in all, this was a good way to start the week.
