6:30AM - Maureen has been going in and out of sleep.
6:45AM - Maya checked the diaper. It is now wet.
Maureen began her day @ 8:05AM. She is in good spirits. Congestion is somewhat evident. We will administer a dose of Flonase during the breakfast session. No nebulizer saline solution treatment is necessary. The diaper is medium wet. Maureen also had a very small soft bowel movement. Click/tap here to view a detailed overview of the process Maya and I use to get Maureen ready for the day.
Breakfast service began @ 8:37AM. Posture in the geri chair is less than optimal. Maureen was tilting very hard to the right this morning—odd since she spent the last two hours on her right side. We used the two green wedge pillows to straighten her posture. Maureen's head was also tilting backwards. We placed the red couch pillow behind her head.

Since Maureen has not had a normal BM in 1.5 days, we gave her two additional ounces of prune juice.
Daily MiraLAX dosage: None
General observations @ 9:28AM> Breakfast proceeded fairly well. Maureen's energy, engagement and communication were less than normal. She nodded off a few times during the breakfast service. Congestion is a bit greater than yesterday. Chewing and swallowing were good. Coughing was almost nonexistent—only 1.

1:14PM - Afternoon oral care routine
1:58PM - We headed to the bedroom to prepare for Rest Break #2. Diaper was medium wet. After completing a clean & change, Maya and I placed Maureen on her right side. We chose her right side because Maureen was leaning somewhat heavily to the left in the geri chair during the lunch service.
