6:30AM - Maureen is lightly sleeping/stirring.
Our day officially began @ 8:10AM. Maureen awoke in fine form. She started chatting us up immediately. Her diaper was wet. Maya used the warm wipes from the purple packet to thoroughly clean Maureen. We did not observe any red spots.
During the cleaning/changing process, Maya and I decided to test out the massage feature on the new bed. We set it on low and for approximately 10 minutes. Maureen seemed to really enjoy it.
There is a new blood blister/bruise on Maureen's right forearm. She might very well have banged her arm on something.
Breakfast service began at 8:27AM. Maureen is sitting upright without the assistance of a wedge pillow—tilting slightly to the right.
Maureen will consume 1/2 a glass of prune juice this morning.
There was absolutely no coughing during breakfast.
Maureen took her morning medications at 8:43AM—blood pressure and baby aspirin.
Nasal congestion is non existent. We did not administer any Flonase.
9:35AM - Maureen is losing energy. She actually just feel asleep in the day chair while we were at the kitchen table. Maya inserted the red kitchen table pillow into the day chair to straighten out Maureen's posture. She was listing to the right.
9:50AM - Maureen has pepped up a bit. At this point, she remains rather lethargic.
The morning exercises with the cup, squeeze ball and stretchy band went well. Maya commented that Maureen's hand, arms, legs and knees were very loose/supple.
10:00AM - Organic fruit smoothie time—at least Maya claims its organic.
10:10AM - Maya checked Maureen's pull up. It was wet. We took Maureen to the bathroom. She did not urinate any more in the toilet nor did she move her bowels. Maya cleaned Maureen and put on a fresh pull up. There was no redness on Maureen's posterior.
10:30AM - We took Maureen to the lift recliner to enjoy some rest and relaxation and of course LMAD and TPIR.
12:20PM - After confirming Maureen's pull up was wet, we took her to the bathroom. She did nothing else on the toilet. The urine did not seep through to her shorts. Maya cleaned Maureen and put on a new pull up.
12:40 - Lunch—homemade chicken noodle soup, 1/2 turkey sandwich, brussel sprouts and a 12 oz. bottle of Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water.
1:15PM - The artists known as KAMA, Kathy and Maya, once again worked their magic on Maureen's hair.
3:15PM - Afternoon fruit snack.
3:40PM - Maya checked Maureen's pull up. It felt wet. We went to the bathroom. The pull up was soaked. The urine seeped through to her shorts. Maya throughly cleaned Maureen and put on a fresh pull up. There were no red spots on Maureen's posterior.
