March 9 daytime update
Updated: Mar 10, 2022
6:30AM - Maureen is awake. From now until the time Maureen gets out of bed, Maya will periodically give Maureen sips of water using a mouth swab as long as she remains fully awake.
7:00AM - Maya checked the diaper again. It is now wet.
Maureen began her day @ 8:05AM. She is engaged and alert—talkative. Maya began by applying Tolcylen to both big toenails. Diaper is medium wet. We performed a clean & change using all three 3M Cavilon products where appropriate. Wednesday is bed bath day. Maya cleaned Maureen's entire body using Aloe Vesta Cleansing Foam and warmed wipes from the purple packet. The red area above and below the waistline at the navel is almost completed healed. Maya applied a thin layer of Nystatin Ointment to this area.
Breakfast service commenced @ 8:55AM. Posture in the geri chair is very good. Maureen is tilting a bit to the left. Energy level and engagement are good. Maureen is congested this morning. Her eyes are almost completely wide open. Maya began with a teaspoon of Manuka Honey followed immediately by the thyroid medication with just a tiny bit of applesauce.
Maureen will consume approximately 6 ounces of prune juice the morning. We added two additional ounces because it has now been 1.5 days since her last BM.
Daily MiraLAX dosage: None
General observations @ 9:16AM> Maureen began to lose energy about 5-7 minutes ago. Her eyes are starting to close. She is chewing and swallowing more deliberately. This drop in energy more or less came out of the blue.

12:31PM - Rest Break #1 ends. We extended it a bit because this will be the only one of the day. Diaper was wet. Maureen had a medium formed bowel movement. Upon completion of a clean & change, we headed to the kitchen for lunch.
