9:19AM - Maureen began to tilt to the left in a more pronounced fashion. We inserted Magic Mike on her left side to make her posture more upright.
General observations @ 9:21AM> The morning went reasonably well. Maureen was a bit lethargic during the breakfast service. Energy was lower than we would like to see. As a result, engagement, responsiveness and communication were on the low side. She nodded off on a few occasions for a brief moment. Coughing was almost nonexistent—only 1 during breakfast.

General observations @ 1:30PM> Lunch went somewhat well. Maureen was alert and engaged. Energy was sufficient. She did cough seven times and sneezed once. Maya and I both observed Maureen is more congested now than during the breakfast service. The increased congestion may very well have caused the coughing.
