6:45AM - Maureen is sleeping lightly. Maya checked her diaper. It was wet.
7:12AM - After a brief discussion, we decided to change Maureen's diaper since she will not get up for another 45 minutes at a minimum. Maya also cleaned Maureen using warmed wipes contained in the purple packet.
7:47AM - Maureen is chatting with herself a bit. She continues to sleep lightly.
The day officially began @ 8:02AM. Maureen is in fine form. Her diaper remained dry. Maya put on a fresh pull up. We noted no red marks on her posterior.
8:17AM - Breakfast service begins. Maureen is currently sitting upright in the day chair unassisted.
8:22AM - Maureen sneezed multiple times this morning. Her face is a bit red. We suspect her allergies are causing these symptoms.
As with every morning, Maureen will consume 1/2 a glass of prune juice.
Nasal congestion is basically nonexistent. We will skip the Flonase.
Coughing was minimal during the breakfast service—twice.
8:35AM - Morning medications administered—blood pressure and baby aspirin.
8:53AM - Maureen began listing to the left. Maya inserted a green wedge pillow into the day chair to straighten out her posture.
8:58AM - Maureen's energy and engagement have begun to dissipate. She has started to frown. Her brow is furrowing.
9:42AM - Organic fruit smoothie time—nothing better on a hot day.
We decided not to take Maureen for a walk today because of the heat and due to her loss of energy/slumping in the day chair.
12:25PM - Maya checked Maureen's pull up before we started lunch. It was wet. We proceeded to the bathroom. Maureen's pull up was wet. It also had a substantial amount of fecal residue on it. The urine barely seeped through to Maureen's shorts. There was also a lot of fecal residue on Maureen's vaginal area. Maya cleaned the entire area thoroughly while Maureen sat on the toilet. Maureen subsequently urinated in the toilet and had a very small firm bowel movement. Maya cleaned Maureen again. She also put on a fresh pull up and new pair of shorts.
12:50PM - Lunch. Today Maureen had 1/2 a ham sandwich, sliced tomato and homemade green pea and chicken soup. She had a chocolate chip cookie for desert.
2:10PM - Maureen was extremely restless in the day chair. Maya checked her pull up. It was dry. We took Maureen to the lift recliner in the front room where we hope she will be more comfortable.
2:45PM - Afternoon fruit snack - Maya gave it to Maureen a bit early in hope that it would calm her down a bit.
3:22PM - Maureen continued to fidget around nonstop in the recliner. Maya once again checked her pull up. It was wet. We headed to the bathroom. In addition to being wet, the pull up had a large amount of fecal residue on it. We kept Maureen on the toilet for approximately 15 minutes. She urinated a large amount in the toilet just prior to getting up. We also noticed another very small bowel movement in the toilet. Maya thoroughly cleaned her. There were no red marks on her posterior. We put on a fresh pull up on her and returned to the front room.
