• 8:48AM - Saline solution treatment using the nebulizer.

• Breakfast service began @ 9:00AM. Posture in the geri chair is very good. Maureen is listing a bit to the left. We used the two wedge pillows to straighten her posture. We also inserted the red velour couch pillow behind Maureen's head since it was tilting back too much to be in an optimal position to eat her breakfast.
