March 8 daytime update

• 6:30AM - Maureen is awake. Maya will give her water via a mouth swab very 20 minutes or so between now and the time she gets out of bed this morning.

• 6:40AM - May checked the diaper. It is now wet.

• Maureen began her day @ 8:06AM. She is in good form this morning. Maya started out by applying Tolcylen to both big toenails. Diaper was medium wet. Maya and I performed a clean & change using all three 3M Cavilon products where appropriate. We next examined the red/irritated area at the waistline just under the navel. It is looking much better—color is pink now, not red. Maya thoroughly cleaned the area, applied a thin layer of Nystatin Ointment and inserted a piece of gauze over the area. Last but not least, Maya cleaned all areas of focus on Maureen's upper body with Aloe Vesta Cleansing Foam and warm wipes from the purple packet. There were a few "red lines" in the right armpit. We did not believe that this warranted any further action at this time. All other areas of focus looked perfect.

• Breakfast service commenced @ 8:42AM. Posture in the geri chair is very good—with the assistance of both green wedge pillows. Maya got the ball rolling by giving Maureen a teaspoon of Manuka Honey that was followed immediately by the administration of the thyroid medication with a skosh of applesauce. She then proceeded to feed Maureen her standard bowl of oatmeal and sliced banana.
