  • 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.

  • 9:55AM - Morning oral care routine

  • 10:00AM - We tilted the geri chair back one level to make Maureen more comfortable and to relieve stress from Maureen's back.

  • 10:05AM - Morning facial treatment including hands and arms

  • 10:20AM - Hand, arm, shoulder and leg exercises

  • 10:35 - Organic fruit smoothie

  • 11:00 - We headed to the bedroom for Rest Break #1. Diaper was medium wet. Maya and I performed a clean & change and then set Maureen on her right side.

  • 11:13AM - Rest Break #1 begins

  • 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.

  • 1:10PM - Lunch | Maya prepared a serving of Chesapeake Bay Shrimp Salad, 1/2 a bowl of homemade organic mushroom soup, a small serving of green beans and a small serving of cauliflower. Maureen will consume one 12-ounce bottle of Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water.

  • 1:51PM - Afternoon oral care

  • General observations @ 1:54PM> Since getting up from bed after the shampoo, Maureen has had a good amount of energy. She has been engaged and chatty. Maureen did a very good job of eating her lunch.

  • 2:25PM - We took Maureen to the bedroom for a clean & change. Diaper was medium wet. After cleaning up, we returned to the kitchen for the remainder of the afternoon. Maureen will not get an afternoon rest break today.
