• Maureen began her day @ 8:10AM. She is very chipper and responsive—laughing a few times. Maureen looked rather parched. Maya and I tilted the bed up to 90 degrees and gave Maureen some sips of water. Priority one was the application of the Tolcylen to both big toes. Diaper was light wet. We performed a clean & change using all three 3M Cavilon products where appropriate. Next and final step was to clean all areas of focus on Maureen's upper body with Aloe Vesta Cleansing Foam and warm wipes from the purple packet. We did not observe any redness/irritation.

• Breakfast service commenced @ 8:57AM. Posture in the geri chair is very good. Maya started out by giving Maureen a teaspoon of Manuka Honey followed immediately by the administration of the thyroid medication with a wee bit of applesauce.

• Maureen will consume 6 ounces of prune juice today.

• Daily MiraLAX dosage: 1/2 cap

• Observations @ 9:11AM> Maureen's energy level dropped in a small window of time. Her eyes are now partially closed. Engagement and communication have now diminished as well. It is amazing to watch how quickly this change takes place.
